According to South Korean Media, the ruling was announced in the public through an article in Rondong Sinmun, a newspaper company the country.
The article said:
History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defence power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle. We must be wary of even the slightest sign of the capitalistic lifestyle and fight to get rid of them.
