BREAKING: North Korea television authority banned broadcasting tottenham matches due to their CaptainÂ
North Korea has banned the broadcast of Tottenham Hotspur matches due to the team’s South Korean captain, Son Heung-min. This decision aligns with the regime’s policy of prohibiting the airing of Premier League games featuring South Korean players. Consequently, matches involving Tottenham, Wolverhampton Wanderers (with Hwang Hee-chan), and Brentford (featuring Kim Ji-soo) will not be shown on North Korean television.
In North Korea, Premier League broadcasts are heavily censored: games are shortened from 90 minutes to 60, aired approximately four months after the original match date, and often edited to remove South Korean players. This selective broadcasting reflects the regime’s strict control over media content, especially concerning South Korea.
This ban underscores the ongoing political tensions between North and South Korea, influencing even the realm of sports broadcasting.
