The president of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, has banned Tottenham Hotspur’s games from being shown in the country.
According to the UK Sun, Jong-Un does not want matches involving South Korean players to be televized.
Spurs are captained by Son Heung-min.
This means Jong-un won’t be able to watch Tottenham host his favourite team Manchester United in a crunch clash on Saturday evening.
Coverage of the Premier League in North Korea last year did not include Wolverhampton Wanderers because of their South Korean forward, Hwang Hee-chan.
Brentford, who have defender Kim Ji-soo, were also not shown.
Match coverage in the secretive state is shortened from 90 minutes to 60.
And the fixtures are shown before news bulletins — and about four months after they are played.
