In a sweeping crackdown on Western influences, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has banned the sale and consumption of hot dogs, labelling the dish an "act of treason". The ban comes amid growing concerns over the popularity of Western foods, particularly the South Korean-inspired dish, budae-jjigae, which includes hot dogs or spam. Violators caught preparing or selling hot dogs face severe punishments, including imprisonment in labour camps. The regime is also targeting other foreign-influenced foods, including tteokbokki, a popular Korean street snack.
