North Korea Kim outlaws skinny jeans & mullets in 'invasion of capitalism' fears

The Rodong Sinmun, an arm of the country’s ruling Worker’s Party, wrote: "History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defence power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle."

The newspaper warned young people in Kim Jong-un's hermit state are more likely to be influenced by the "exotic" lifestyle of capitalism.

The article continued: "We must be wary of even the slightest sign of the capitalistic lifestyle and fight to get rid of them."

According to reports, Kim Jong-un has banned "non-socialist" hairstyles like the mullet.
