North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, has prohibited the consumption and sale of Budae-Jjigae, labeling it as treasonous.
The spicy noodle soup, which includes ingredients like Hot Dogs and Spam, gained popularity in the North from South Korea.
Local vendors report severe consequences for selling Budae-Jjigae, stating that authorities have threatened consequences such as labor camp imprisonment.
This action is part of a broader effort by the regime to eliminate perceived Western cultural influences, with prior bans on other South Korean foods.
Despite these restrictions, North Koreans can still consume canines, indicating a selective approach to food regulation.
