Love letters are banned in North Korea
In North Korea, writing love letters expressing affection between citizens is strictly prohibited. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Officials criticize such actions sharply, describing them as a “capitalist corrupted lifestyle.” According to the Metro publication, a love letter was found during an inspection at a factory in Hamhung city.
It was revealed that the letter contained phrases like “I love you” and “I only think about you.” This incident sparked widespread discussions across the country.
The author of the letter was publicly criticized as “morally corrupt,” forced to admit their mistake, and openly express remorse. Witnesses say that other workers at the factory were also compelled to watch this process.
This event shows that openly expressing personal feelings in North Korea faces serious restrictions. Within the official policy framework, such letters are considered “contrary to social order and moral standards.”
As a result, methods of expressing personal relationships are kept under strict control. This situation once again confirms the existence of restrictions in the country regarding human rights and freedoms.
