elite defector tells BBC
I don't get it.
Yeonmi Park is a notable North Korean defector who routinely goes on talk shows to spout absolutely batshit crazy stuff about how backwards it is there. It's commonly understood that she essentially just lies for money and clout.
The commenter is implying this headline is fake news.
Thank you.
The commenter is implying this headline is fake news.
I'm implying to take these headlines with a grain of salt.
Incidentally, Park's parents were also "elite defectors" who moved to China for a few years before going to South Korea and then America, riding the talk show circuit that revolves around NK refugees telling slice of life stories.
She discovered that tall tales (and extensive plastics surgery) drew bigger audiences and capitalized on the media feeding frenzy.
That's fair. I definitely think taking a defector from NK 100% at face value is naive. It's difficult to know exactly what happens there, but the stories Park tells are hilarious in their absurdity so it's easier to see and poke fun at.
Not sure how credible this guy's story is, but if he's telling the truth about his position then he probably knows more than Park does. That doesn't mean everything he says is true, though.
Found the pathetic hater. Lives a comfortable life talking shit about NK defectors online. Quite pathetic. How dare they defect into China one of the two countries they have a border with.
As she should capitalize on whatever media frenzy she can. Cry about it like a baby more.
The heavies!
