North Korea is mobilizing students to work as free labor during the Corn harvest and conducting daily searches to prevent theft. The government uses militaristic terminology to describe this policy, referring to it as the "fall corn battle." Students are responsible for tasks such as carrying harvested corn and peeling its outer skin. The corn patrol, farmers deputized by the police, search the students after each shift. The searches have sparked protests from some students, with one female junior high school Student refusing to be searched and causing the patrol to stop.
