Do you have a source for all of this?

I can also bring as source the book "Escape from Camp 14", the story of a person living in a dictatorship in the dictatorship, i.e. a concentration camp for political prisoners and their sons and grandsons in North Korea.

Isn't that just the story of one of many refugees? I don't really think that's an academic source.

Far from the truth. The majority of the country is too scared to say "no" to it's leaders.

Yes, that's why they keep trying to run away, because they love their country.

Indeed, I hear that stories also. However I don't be surprised if there are not happy with returning.

It's overwhelmingly to do with concern for their loved ones back home. But some defectors have noted that North Korea has a much more communal, "pull together" culture, even if it's born from the people's struggles rather than the state's propaganda.

My thoughts exactly.

With my hair, they'd probably shoot me.

This is a remarkable step forward for the North. No taxes, legal marijuana, a wide range of different haircuts to choose from... this place is getting more libertarian by the minute.

And those are some very 80s hairstyles.

I dont believe any government should say anything about such completely irrelevant matters.

Its the ultimate proof politicians are bored and should get assigned a different, more productive job.

Some people are fans of dicatorships, extreme poverty down to famines, and oppression. *shrug*

South Korea used to have restrictions on hair styles and clothing as well until at least the dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan.

I'd take number two any day, because it looks classy in my opinion.

It is the story of a refugee, but there are inter-chapters in which the author explains some general facts about North Korea.

From his own colored perspective of course.

So, which one is number Kim Jong-Un? Probably very popular. I can't find it from the list.

Haha, this is all actually old news, from before Kim Jong-un took power.

The country's liberalized a bit more under him, like the legalization of pizza/hamburgers/platform shoes/etc, although I don't know about haircuts.

" North Korean government's strict policies have made it's citizens love their country"
I think you are confusing love with fear.

Best Korea only allows choice of 28 Haircuts
