North Korea had recently passed a law on Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture which carried the maximum penalty of death sentence for watching, keeping or distributing media and videos from countries like the United States of America and South Korea. The country has currently closed its borders to contain the spread of COVID-19 after having earlier outlandishly claimed there were no cases of the virus in the land.
