Just in case life in North Korea wasn’t sad enough, North Korean leadership has reportedly implemented a blanket ban on fun, according to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service.

North Korea “has banned any gatherings related to drinking, singing and other entertainment,” the NIS, South Korea’s spy agency, revealed during a parliamentary briefing Monday, according to Yonhap News Agency. South Korean intelligence officials suspect the ban may be an attempt by North Korean authorities to reduce the negative impact of sanctions, which the United Nations imposed on the regime for its repeated nuclear and ballistic missile tests.

In response to North Korea’s test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that can theoretically strike parts, if not most, of the continental U.S. and the regime’s detonation of a staged thermonuclear bomb, the international community imposed crippling sanctions on the rogue regime, severely restricting both imports and exports and forcing countries around the world to cut ties with the North.
