  21. A woman in South Pyongan told her parents she'd rather marry a farm worker than a police officer. It's not just one person — North Korean women broadly no longer see officers as desirable partners.

  22. Counterfeit Russian rubles have surfaced in Rason's jangmadang markets — so skillfully faked that traders couldn't tell them apart from real notes. North Korea's State Information Bureau deployed an inspection team May 12.

  23. #NorthKorea rice prices hit 32,600 won/kg in Sinuiju on May 10 — a 3.5x surge from a year ago. On May 12, the Cabinet issued an emergency price cap. It's backfiring badly.

  24. Imported vinyl flooring is flowing into North Korean markets in 2026 — but goods are piling up unsold. The problem isn't supply. It's that ordinary people can no longer afford to buy.

  26. Fuel costs from Middle East turmoil have nearly doubled transport fares in North Korea. Traders in Sinuiju are ditching beollyi-cha freight vehicles for modified e-bikes — cheaper to run, easier to profit from. dailynk.com/english/north-kore

  29. North Koreans spent top dollar on state factory sweets — and got crushed, bad-tasting candy inside glossy packaging. "All sizzle and no steak, and for a steep price." 🍬

  30. North Korea is seizing toothbrushes, soap, sanitary pads, and cosmetics from jangmadang market stalls — confiscating them to stock state-run stores instead. Private trade isn't just discouraged. It's being dismantled. #NorthKorea #DPRK #Jangmadang #Economy dailynk.com/english/north-kore
