North Korea attempts to remove any form of non-Koreaness from its culture in many regards. They use different words when compared to South Korea (i.e. the word for cell phone) so why didn't this continue into their daily dress attire? I understand that their duty and work uniforms are in a certain style for practicality but why do they use western style dress uniforms? Also, why do the average citizens not wear more traditional Korean clothing on a day to day basis? Even Kim Jung Un wears a western style suit every day which is also weird when you think about it. Was there an impetus after world War two that lead to this change in their culture?
