US EditionKim Jong Un cracks down on ‘anti-socialist’ breast implants
Women suspected of breast augmentation face investigations and labor camp sentences as North Korea targets cosmetic surgeries deemed threats to socialist ideology.
- North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un ordered an emergency crackdown on breast augmentation surgeries called `anti-socialist` acts, deploying strike teams to Pyongyang and central districts to find black-market surgeons and women, sources said.
- The Ministry of Social Security said a rise in cosmetic procedures among women in their 20s and 30s reflects them soaking in `bourgeois ideology`, prompting emergency measures.
- At a public hearing in Sariwon, prosecutors displayed smuggled silicone imported from China, surgical tools, and cash seized from an ex‑medical student surgeon who was caught after police infiltrated his home.
- Those caught could face criminal charges including labour training camps, the judge promised `strict punishment`, shocking attendees and leaving many women in Sariwon living in fear of checks.
- Observers note the crackdown aligns with wider restrictions, including the hotdog ban earlier this year and a UN report alleging executions, under Kim Jong Un's centralized rule since 2011.
