The censoring is said to be linked to Kim Jong Un's regime's efforts to restrict Western fashion and culture in North Korea, NKNews reports.

Do you really not know any leg-wear besides jeans and cargo pants? Lol

Those are literally the two types of pant

Only time will tell my friend, but we all put pant on the same way: one leg time
