A rare moral scandal has occurred in North Korea. A group of high school students decided to organize an orgy in a public bathhouse. Due to the indecent behavior of the students, multiple individuals are being held accountable.

The South Korean portal Daily NK, which specializes in articles about one of the world's most mysterious countries—North Korea—published information about the "party" organized by the teenagers.

Journalists from the portal learned about the scandal that shook the residents of Hamhung, the second-largest city in North Korea.

According to the portal, at the beginning of June, an orgy organized by three pairs of teenagers took place at a public swimming pool. Journalists from "Daily NK" report that the teenagers were using drugs (including methamphetamine) and engaged in group sex, swapping partners.

The youth paid the facility manager an additional $70 to acquire exclusive use of the public bathhouse.

North Korea. What awaits the youth?

It is not yet known what penalties await those who helped organize the orgy. Currently, the pool manager is being held accountable and in custody.

The teacher of the six unruly teenagers has not escaped punishment either. She must appear daily at the local education department to write self-critical letters. The children's parents feel "ashamed and guilty for not being able to properly raise their offspring."

Meanwhile, the teenagers will most likely avoid imprisonment but face other consequences. According to journalists from "Daily NK," all participants of the orgy will have to publicly confess and apologize at a meeting that is to be organized later this month.
