North Koreans have only three channels and have to sit through them because they have no choice. Two of these channels are only available on weekends, while the other is broadcast in the evenings. Because of this, South Korean soap operas are among the most popular items smuggled in. Everything that goes on the channel is controlled by the government. North Korean people are also not allowed to listen to Western music. So no Taylor Swift for these guys, unless she’s singing about how great Kim Jong-un is.
