North KoreaBans Wearing of Blue Jeans, Defaulters To Go To Jail

Blue jeans, now banned in North Korea.

If living in a country with no internet access, no television, no alcohol and no music weren't enough, North Korea has also banned Blue Jeans.

Count yourself lucky if you’re not a resident of North Korea, because a lot of things that we take for granted here are privileges denied to many there. People there can’t have an opinion, they can’t drive cars, and they have to choose their haircuts from a list of 28 "allowed" hairstyles.

A hermit region, the country is closed to the outside world.

Now news comes that blue jeans have been banned. For now, jeans are being sold in two styles- the slim-fit Kara and loose-fit Oke, and are made in black rather than blue denim.

Blue denim is a “symbol of American imperialism” to the North Koreanu leader, Kim Jong-un and thus he absolutely despises it.
