Kim Jong Un allegedly banned hot dogs in North Korea to prevent the spread of Western culture

As per recent reports by The Sun, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has prohibited North Koreans from consuming hot dogs as part of a campaign against the infiltration of Western culture into the hermetic nation.

Although hot dogs have gained acceptance in South Korea, Kim Jong Un has subsequently proclaimed that distributing sausages constitutes a charge of treason against North Korea.

Besides, glizzy (slang for hot dog) isn’t the sole culinary item to face a ban in the country. Earlier, Kim Jong Un prohibited the retailing of budae-jjigae, a South Korean-American fusion meal composed of an umami-rich broth, Korean hot pepper paste, kimchi, and American Spam, beans, and sausage.

In November 2024, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported that North Korea has also prohibited the consumption of tteokbokki, a famous street dish in South Korea made from steamed rice cakes.
