Top 10 Everyday Activities that are Illegal in North Korea
-
Traveling Abroad
This law existed in other countries before the Soviet Union fell.
Sad... That's why I don't like the DPRK that much. I hope they'd open their country more.
-
Driving
I read that people can only drive if they live in Pyongyang.
Why...? I mean, it's to get to work quicker! It would help them!
Less than one-thousandth of the DPRK population owns a car. Talk about "that doesn't even make any damn sense!"
-
Saying Kim Jong Un Is Fat
I hope I don't get called out by Kim Jong Un for saying he's fat.
He is. There's no point in denying it.
He's literally the fattest person living in North Korea. I hope Kim Jong Un doesn't execute me for this.
-
Surfing the Web
Kwangmyong is the North Korean internet - it's dial-up. It's only in libraries, universities, and other organizations throughout the country. I suppose few have it at home, possibly in the capital.
They probably don't want people finding out how bad North Korea is.
Really? I'm glad I'm not in North Korea and I never will be.
-
Practicing Religion
Normal for every communist country out there.
-
Choosing a Different Haircut That Is Not in the 28 That Are Legal
-
Making Fun of the President
He deserves to be mocked for his actions!
-
Viewing Pornography
North Korea is right for making this illegal. I bet people who dislike this comment watch it themselves.
This isn't a bad idea. Pornography is just pointless and makes us Americans look ridiculous.
Porn isn't even entertaining at all. Not much of a thing for it to be banned.
-
Making International Calls
Some guy in NK did this and was executed by firing squad. And I think this list was from Alltime10s.
-
Not Voting
They basically have these fake elections every five years and you can only vote for one person.
And it's illegal to vote for another person. They all have to vote for the same one.

Watching Foreign TV Shows

Watching Foreign Movies
-
Playing Music
Is there even a North Korean word for "music"?
-
Watching Television
Um... never mind. I guess watching T.V. isn't good anyway! I don't watch it a lot anymore though.
-
Watching South Korean Movies
-
Wearing Jeans
-
Criticizing the Government
It's a bad government, Kim. Get over it.
-
Drinking Alcohol
I heard during the 100-day funeral of Kim Jong Il, some DPRK military guy was caught knocking back a few and executed with a mortar round... yikes!
I think that it's legal during holidays though.
This is a very good rule. It should really be banned. North Korea has done the only good thing.
-
Chewing Tobacco
Along with porn, one of the only good things North Korea banned. Tobacco is super bad for you and can kill you!
-
Saying Anything Negative About Kim Jong Un
He, his father, and grandfather are like cult leaders, I suppose.
That's typical for a lot of communist countries...
Common in most communist countries.
-
Trying to Leave the Country
It's a cult. Vote for the leader only. If you are a North Korean citizen, you have to worship the leader. Citizens are brainwashed to not know anything outside and are deluded into things that are not true.
Some call North Korea a "prison", and this law is the reason why.
-
Having the Bible
It's not harmful to have the Bible. I really can't believe that the government in North Korea made this law.
This makes no sense. Being religious isn't going to harm him. Besides, just let people believe what they want. Bastard Kim Jong Un.
-
Gaming
Yeah, it does. You cannot bring your Nintendo Switch.
Banning Nintendo pisses me off so much!
-
Listening to Unapproved Music
This is like pretty much any other "crime against the state" that gets you killed.
-
Tourists Talking to Anyone Who Lives in North Korea
Even though you wouldn't even understand a single word, sorry. Just watch the news when North Korea comes on.

Laughing
