The Class Discrimination in North Korea
If one person does wrong in North Korea, it doesn't mean just you or the one get punished. Three to eight generations gets punished. When there was one high ranking of fishery state, they killed more than 30,000 people because of the one person's defection. If you're high status, marry somebody low, you go down with them. That's how they prevent mixing different classes. And the trickiest thing about North Korea's status is that there's not even something called marrying up. Some other countries, if you marry somebody from higher status, you can go up with them. In North Korea, there's only going down.
