Why does the DMZ have a dress code?

Question

I want to go to the DMZ in South Korea, but somebody told me that there is a dress code. What is the dress code, and why? Also, can children under 3 enter the DMZ?

thanks!

Answer 1

the reason is that north koreans will photograph you if you're wearing "shabby" clothes or what they consider improper attire (t-shirts and the like i.e. showing too much skin or whatever) and use your image as propaganda against the u.s.

Answer 2

'There is a dress code and it is strictly adhered to. No jeans, shorts, t-shirts, open toed shoes, dungarees, etc. You will want to wear business casual. If not, they won't let you in.'



I haven't seen anything about children, but there's no point in taking them with, so they should stay at home.

Answer 3

what is the DMZ?
