Staffed by waitresses hand-picked from the country's elite for loyalty -- and who often perform musical numbers for customers -- they are a major source of funds for Pyongyang. "This rule came into effect this year," said one Chinese staff member at Ryugyong restaurant in Dandong -- a stone's throw from the diplomatically isolated nation."There is a regulation from the North Korean embassy: None of the North Korean restaurants in Dandong are permitted to serve South Koreans."
Before visiting Dandong, he said he had heard that North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un had instructed restaurants to stop serving South Koreans."But knowing it and experiencing it is different," he said.After a brief easing of tensions in the late 2010s helped by three summits between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korea's then-president Moon Jae-in, relations between Seoul and Pyongyang have nosedived.
"The North's ban on South Korean visitors is in line with its aggressive posture when dealing with the South," Hong Min, at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP.
