North Korea has sentenced a man to death for smuggling and selling illegal copies of South Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Authorities tracked down the man after seven students were caught watching the globally popular series, writes the generally reliable news medium Radio Free Asia (RFA), according to experts.
The North Korean sentenced to death would have a copy of the series Squid Game smuggled into his country from China, sources tell RFA, a United States-based independent news organization. In North Korea, it is illegal to view or distribute media from capitalist countries.
A student who bought a USB stick containing the most-watched Netflix series ever faces a life sentence. Six other students who watched the series have been sentenced to five years of hard labor. An unknown number of teachers and school principals have been fired. They too can count on harsh penalties.
In December 2020, the North Korean government passed a new law banning the acquisition and distribution of culture media such as movies, music and books. The maximum penalty for a violation is the death penalty. With the law, the government mainly wants to prevent media from South Korea and the United States from entering the country. The case involving the seven students is the first time minors have been punished under this new law.
Follow-up research
According to an anonymous source of RFA, one of the arrested students escaped conviction because his wealthy parents bribed the authorities with three thousand dollars. The same source said residents are terrified of the investigation following the events. According to them, the people who buy or sell storage devices, such as USB sticks and memory cards, will be dealt with harshly.
The Violent Series Squid Game became a worldwide hit after its release in September. The series has the most streams ever on Netflix. Set in South Korea, the story revolves around a game in which hundreds of poor participants compete for a huge cash prize. All losers are brutally slaughtered. One of the characters, Kang Sae-byeok, is a refugee from North Korea.
Foreign films, series and music play a big role in undermining the government propaganda that North Koreans are exposed to day in and day out. South Korean pop music in particular is said to motivate residents to flee the country. That’s how it turned out an investigation from 2019 that more than 90 percent of the defectors had consumed foreign media.
