Penalty for wearing red lipstick – Kim Jong Un
The North Korean government, which has issued an order for its women not to apply red lipstick, has warned of severe action if this ban is violated.
The strange bans that are enforced in North Korea from time to time are commonplace. The leader of the country, Kim Jong Un, has also banned women from wearing red lipstick in this line.
President Kim Jong Un has already banned popular brands of cosmetics. He has now banned red lip color and warned that violators will be fined heavily.
Although red is seen as the symbol of communism, North Korean President Kim Jong Un is said to see the lipstick applied by women as a symbol of capitalism.
