The Daily NK, a Seoul-based website that maintains contact with North Korea, recently wrote that three teenagers were sent to a training center because they were wearing shorts and had their hair cut in a South Korean style.

Kim’s new war is not about nuclear warheads, but about uprooting foreign influence in his country.
