Kim Jong-un has threatened North Korean women who undergo breast augmentation surgery.
The dictator ordered his subordinates to check women with "large breasts", declaring that breast implants are "unsocialist" and "bourgeois".
He issued the order during a trial of two women in their 20s accused of having breast augmentation by a clandestine surgeon. Communist Party members in Sariwon, where the trial was held, were ordered to conduct physical examinations of women suspected of having breast augmentation. The
fear, according to the regime, is that the women are “tainted by bourgeois customs” and are “engaging in rotten capitalist behavior.”
The women will be forcibly taken to hospitals for inspection and threatened with severe punishment, including those caught with implants, according to the South Korean media outlet Daily NK.
Breast augmentation is illegal in North Korea, but interest in the secret procedures is growing.
Two women were publicly exposed on trial last week, along with the doctor accused of performing the procedures. He reportedly dropped out of medical school and entered the world of illegal implants, but was caught offering plastic surgery in a secret operation in his home.
Silicone implants imported from China, surgical instruments and large sums of money were presented as evidence in the trial.
The women are being publicly humiliated in the high-profile trial, likely to scare other North Korean women away from seeking similar procedures.
Prosecutors declared: “Women living in a socialist system are tainted by bourgeois customs and are engaging in rotten capitalist behavior.”
The two women said they had the procedure done to improve their bodies, but the judge rejected this excuse.
It also emerged during the trial that the public security department had already begun conducting public checks on women suspected of having breast implants.
A plan was drawn up for neighborhood leaders to identify women with obvious physical changes and then take them to hospitals for examination.
