Obv it’s not cartoonishly evil like the DPRK is portrayed with the mandated haircuts and hamburger ban but sk is def closer to that “authoritarian” stereotypical image than the DPRK is. Ppl in the south are imprisoned if they say anything positive about the north. Look up their national security act. It also still is functionally an American military outpost
