In North Korea, wearing blue jeans is considered a crime against the state.

In another extreme measure of social control, North Korea bans the wearing of blue jeans, considering them a symbol of Western influence and capitalist culture.

According to international reports, the Pyongyang regime sees this style as a threat to "ideological purity" and places strict restrictions on the appearance of citizens.

In addition to jeans, skinny jeans, dyed hair, piercings, and certain hairstyles that the regime labels as expressions of Western decadence are also banned. Such measures are part of the regime's efforts to ward off any external influence and keep the population's lifestyle under control.
