Celebrate birthdays with friends? The Kim regime severely punished "decadent lifestyle"

The article reports on an incident in North Korea where a student was punished for hosting a birthday celebration with friends, which authorities labeled as a 'decadent lifestyle' violating socialist values. The event, which included food, music, and dancing, was reported by a teacher, leading to public criticism of the student and his parents. Both were subjected to ideological meetings and public reprimands. The North Korean regime has increasingly targeted behaviors it views as Western-influenced, including private celebrations and Western-style clothing. The case reflects broader efforts to suppress perceived deviations from socialist norms.
