A man has reportedly been sentenced to death in North Korea for smuggling copies of Netflix’s blockbuster series “Squid Game” into the country. According to Radio Free Asia (via Variety), authorities were led to the man after they caught high school students watching the series. The report states that “Squid Game” was smuggled into the country from China through the use of a USB flash drive. “Squid Game” is not available in China but remains popular thanks to piracy websites. The smuggler faces death by firing squad, while the students involved in bringing “Squid Game” in to school are facing prison sentences.

Radio Free Asia reports: “A student who bought a drive received a life sentence, while six others who watched the show have been sentenced to five years hard labor, and teachers and school administrators have been fired and face banishment to work in remote mines.”

radio free Asia

could’ve smuggled in something good at least

that can't be real wtf

seems reasonable

the source is radio free asia

“Radio Free Asia is a United States government-funded private non-profit news service that broadcasts radio programs and publishes online news, information, and commentary for its audiences in Asia”

it’s just state sponsored propaganda

jesus man are people still out here capping for north korea

i get that theres some false information out there but the way people defend them is insane

then say this in a thread about them doing f***ed s*** that’s properly sourced not in a thread just spreading propaganda

I mean a lot of noko escapees have been surveyed and said that people have been punished for having ""reactionary"" media

idk if that necessarily means getting the death penalty for squid games though lol

Idk what’s so hard to believe

Or is my mind so brainwashed by American propaganda that I never realized Kim Jong Un is a nice man who feeds his people

all he did was share the link, we dont know if its true or not

there was articles during peak squid game about kim praising it for its critique of south korea i don’t doubt that people been punished for pushing “reactionary” media but this isn’t one of those cases

its always the people here with a roof over their head and a fully belly who say that the people who escaped north korea are state sponsored propaganda

Or was that article u read North Korean propaganda

this is f***ing cia propaganda

@op why would squid game get you f***ing killed when its a critique on capitalism you ape

it was literally the guardian

What do I believe

yeah i agree

tough to find a balance between critical support/calling out US propaganda and criticizing noko as well

I dont fw with RFA either but then i get worried that im in too deep when my first instict is to defend kim

????????????????????
its literally PROPAGANDA
how is this 'capping for nk'

people go out of their way to defend the worst country/leader on the planet

Even if this was true this is based

Squid game is overrated anyways

Just so y’all know idk s*** about news outlets political stances brah I just thought the story was wild, mainly the part where students and faculty received prison and harsh labor sentences…..
s*** sounds like some NK s*** to me

even if its fake NK still WOAT
