The defendants were two third-year high school boys and four second-year high school girls who were caught watching South Korean dramas and movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the source, the trial began with the prosecutor dragging the six students out to the podium with shackles on their hands. The students\u2019 parents stood beside them, while students from the school and their parents watched the proceedings of the trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prosecutor told the audience that the students had watched more than 120 South Korean dramas and movies between last year and March of this year. He emphasized that the students had not only watched the South Korean videos themselves, but also disseminated them among their classmates. He further noted that they had refused to turn themselves in, so their transgression would have to be dealt with as a serious crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The court ultimately sentenced the students to five years at a re-education camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK obtained a copy of North Korea\u2019s \u201canti-reactionary thought law\u201d earlier this year. Article 27 of the law says that anyone \u201cbringing in or distributing large amounts of South Korean movies, videos, published works or books\u201d will face either a \u201clife sentence of re-education through labor\u201d or \u201cexecution.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47991\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-47991 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/\ube44\uc0ac\ud68c\uc8fc\uc758_\uad6d\uacbd\uc5f0\uc120\uc815\uce58\uc0ac\uc5c5\uc790\ub8cc_1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/\ube44\uc0ac\ud68c\uc8fc\uc758_\uad6d\uacbd\uc5f0\uc120\uc815\uce58\uc0ac\uc5c5\uc790\ub8cc_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/\ube44\uc0ac\ud68c\uc8fc\uc758_\uad6d\uacbd\uc5f0\uc120\uc815\uce58\uc0ac\uc5c5\uc790\ub8cc_1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/\ube44\uc0ac\ud68c\uc8fc\uc758_\uad6d\uacbd\uc5f0\uc120\uc815\uce58\uc0ac\uc5c5\uc790\ub8cc_1-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/\ube44\uc0ac\ud68c\uc8fc\uc758_\uad6d\uacbd\uc5f0\uc120\uc815\uce58\uc0ac\uc5c5\uc790\ub8cc_1.jpg 741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lecture materials calling on people to &#8220;smash anti-socialist and non-socialist behavior&#8221; published in July 2019. \/ Image: Daily NK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that the students are minors appears to be the reason they received a slightly milder punishment than the one listed in Article 27.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a cadre from Nampo&#8217;s Ministry of Social Security stayed behind after the trial to make a statement to the students and their parents who were gathered in the audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe era of trying 16-year-olds as youths has ended,\u201d he reportedly yelled out. \u201cFrom now on, if you watch video materials from South Korea, you will not be forgiven, regardless of who you are, your gender, or how old you are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to video materials, North Koreans may face punishment for viewing South Korean books, photos, or printed materials.
