North Korea, long known for its unconventional political views, has now extended its restrictions to football. Kim Jong-un has prohibited fans from watching matches involving three English Premier League teams for one specific reason.
Details: The North Korean leader decided to limit the broadcast of Premier League matches to the citizens of his country, and this decision is linked to the presence of South Korean players in several teams.
Tottenham, Wolverhampton, and Brentford have been banned from state television due to the inclusion of Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Kim Ji-su in their squads, respectively.
Reminder: Matches are typically broadcast in North Korea four months after they are played, meaning games from August of this season became available to viewers only in January.
