Yet, inside North Korea, people say the authorities will have a tough time suppressing young people\u2019s desire for new cultures using hackneyed ideological education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said every Socialist Patriotic Youth League committee in Chongjin is holding related lectures twice a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019re even going to where young people are very busily supporting agricultural work, gathering those exhausted from the day\u2019s work for lectures,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the source said young people, keenly interested in &#8220;new things,&#8221; continue to watch films and TV shows from &#8220;developed countries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYoung people might hide a bit if the government cracks down hard on watching and distributing foreign films, including films from South Korea, but nothing will change much,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Translated by David Black.
