North Korea cracking down on wedding dresses and slang - reportWedding dresses need to be traditional, like this bride's outfit from 2019North Korea is carrying out a widespread crackdown on everything from wedding dresses to slang as it seeks to counter the South's influence, a new report has revealed. It includes the case of a 22-year-old who was executed after admitting listening to South Korean music and distributing films, first reported by the BBC last year. North Korea described last year's report as "slander and fabrication", but has yet to respond to the new document. People's phones are also being searched and checked for slang from South Korea in messages and contacts, it adds. Sunglasses have also been deemed counter-revolutionary, the report says, despite North Korean leader Kim Jong Un being know to don a pair.
