Kim Jong Un's government in North Korea has banned the term 'ice cream'. The government replaced it with state-approved terms. This is part of a campaign to remove foreign words. Tourism guides are trained to avoid Anglicised words. 'Hamburger' is now 'double bread with ground beef'. The policy aims to strengthen North Korean expressions. It also eliminates outside cultural influence.
