The claims being so extraordinary also means we need extraordinary evidence to believe them

There's nothing extraordinary about a state oppressing it's people. The existence of a state that doesn't oppress it's people should require extraordinary evidence to believe.

You don't think the haircut stories or the claims of mass enslavement are extraordinary? Do you think everyone would believe these claims of any other country, like Canada or Sweden, without stronger evidence?

I never once worried about the ability of North Koreans to have a western haircut. That said, it's not that outlandish of an idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_and_haircut_laws_by_country

As to mass enslavement, no one is denying that they have universal conscription.
