The case, RFA said, is the first time North Korea enforced on minors its “elimination of reactionary thought and culture” law that sets execution as the penalty for “watching, keeping, or distributing media” from capitalist states.

“This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,” the law enforcement said.
“The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them.”
