There are places in the world that seem surreal to us.One of them is North Korea, where things happen under the mandate of Kim Jong-un that seem to be taken out of a horror movie like the ones we tell you below.

28 haircuts

In North Korea there are only 28 haircuts allowed, such is the dictator's control over such personal and unimportant aspects as this.Men have 14 haircuts and can have a maximum length of 4 centimeters.Single women should wear it short.

Both the cultivation and consumption of marijuana is legal

Curious, taking into account the strict and extensive list of restrictions imposed by the dictator in his country.

Ultra-powerful leaders

Citizens must believe, and if not more they pretend well, that the leaders have supernatural powers. Since childhood they are told all kinds of stories, away from the re alidad, with the aim of making them submissive and fully controllable by the system.

One of the examples is that of the father of the current ruler who is said to have the power to control the climate.On Kim Jong-un se He says he was born from heaven, that generated a huge rainbow by his arrival.

Convictions that extend generation after generation

The punishment is not to go to jail, but to forced labor camps where many of those sent there die d and hunger .On the other hand, both the one who committed the crime and his family, up to 3 generations, will be paying the crime.

'Voting' every five years

Kim Jong-un says his government is not a dictatorship because its inhabitants go to the polls once every 5 years, although there is only one candidate who is the one.Obviously, you cannot leave the vote blank or void because you can end paying for it with your life and that of your relatives.

Absolutely incredible.
