North Korea, the country, has always given people a mysterious, unique feeling.
Whether it's because the way people live and dress differently than the rest of the world, or because of the unique rules that are deeply rooted in the human heart.
Some tourists recalled that the actual North Korea was more different than they imagined.
Over time, North Korea has developed five incredible rules, ranging from laughable to life-threatening.
So, what exactly are these rules?
First of all, strictly control the hairstyles of the population. In North Korea, the regime has a tight grip on all aspects of the country, believing that the prosperity of the people is the prosperity of the country, and that the decline of the people is a sign of national crisis.
Therefore, the people are not only the source of state power, but also the focus of ** control.
The tightness of this control can be seen in the choice of hairstyles of the North Korean people.
Domestically, there are only 28 officially recognized hairstyles, and women have 18 options, while men have only 10.
Every North Korean must make a choice among these prescribed hairstyles without any objections.
For example, men's hair should not be more than 5 cm long, and it should be cut in a classic large back.
Although women can dye their hair red, it is important to keep a low profile when it comes to hair color and style.
In this land, fashionable hairstyles like pink, blonde and big curls are absolutely impossible in North Korea, and even hair like a double ponytail will be considered inappropriate.
Hairstyles in North Korea are not just a way to show personal preferences, but also a deeper reflection of the country's socio-political landscape.
Short haircuts, for example, are seen in North Korea as the embodiment of socialist ideals, sending a simple and pragmatic signal that people are expected not to be distracted in their daily work and loyalty to the collective.
In addition, North Korea strongly inhibits the pursuit of individuality and fashion, labeling it "capitalist degenerate", highlighting the desire for total control over social life and even personal private life.
At a time when contemporary society is deeply influenced by liberal thought, the restrictions on the individual hairstyle choices of North Koreans can be incredible.
While people deserve freedom, even hairstyle choices are severely restricted in North Korea.
However, it is also important to recognize that society needs certain rules and order to function properly.
North Korea's long-term stability must have its own special social cohesion, and this cohesion depends on people's understanding and support for the regulations.
When it comes to hairstyle regulations, North Koreans don't seem to show much resistance, but generally choose to be submissive.
It is worth noting that in North Korea, there is no need to pay for a haircut.
* A certain number of free haircut coupons are issued to residents every month.
Residents of the DPRK who have a barber voucher can enjoy free haircut services. At the same time, it has also allowed the barber industry in North Korea to maintain a certain number of customers and income, ensuring the continuous operation of its business. This approach not only satisfies the needs of the people, but also ensures the livelihood of the barbers, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone, which is in line with the actual situation of North Korea.
Secondly, jeans are prohibited. Jeans, the common clothing that countless people around the world choose every day, have become forbidden clothing here.
Walking through the streets of North Korea, it is hard to see jeans, where pedestrians are wrapped in a drab black and gray hue.
Although in recent years, some young North Korean women have begun experimenting with brightly colored outfits, their choices remain strictly conservative and do not touch jeans, which are seen as a symbol of "turning their backs on socialism."
For the inhabitants of most parts of the world, such a ban is undoubtedly incomprehensible.
After all, in today's world, jeans have long since transcended their original fashion symbols and become a staple of everyday wardrobes around the world.
