He’s the boob for the job.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has ordered an emergency crackdown on breast augmentation surgeries claiming they are “anti-socialist,” according to a report.
Pyongyang City’s Ministry of Public Safety issued the emergency orders against the “rotten capitalist” implants with perpetrators facing harsh sentences in the dictatorship’s labor camps, UK outlet Metro reported.

“Strike teams” were deployed to central areas, including Pyongyang, over the summer where federal agents in civilian clothing scanned for black market doctors and unnaturally buxom women, Daily NK reported, citing sources in the hermit kingdom.
Women suspected of having had surgeries could be subjected to physical examinations by Kim’s public health goons, according to that report.
“Women or private doctors caught could face criminal punishment, including being sent to labor camps, on charges of anti-socialism,” the anonymous source dished to the outlet.
The recent demand for boob jobs, eyelid surgeries, and eyebrow tattoos is a result of women in their 20s and 30s soaking in “bourgeois ideology,” the North Korean government contends.
In mid-September, one private doctor was put on public trial alongside two 20-something augmentees who all stood with their heads bowed for hours as they were excoriated by a prosecutor, Metro reported.
“Women living in a socialist system have been corrupted by bourgeois customs and have committed rotten capitalist acts,” an unidentified prosecutor said, Metro reported.
Prosecutor’s revealed at trial that those two augmented women were in fact subject to physical examination by government officials.
Illegal contraband displayed at the trial included smuggled silicone, medical tools, and bundles of cash which were seized by the North Hwanghae Province Security Bureau.
This is not the first instance of North Koreans falling prey to the trappings of “bourgeois” culture.
The handful of hardened soldiers sent from the autocracy to the frontlines of Russia had their mind’s blown before getting to the battlefield — getting hooked on pornography encountered with their first free use of the internet, according to a Financial Times reporter.
