They are all “comrades”, of whom the North Korean regime is very proud. Even his parents never said they loved him.
Yeonmi Park explained when talking about North Korea, that country is very different from other countries that are considered unsafe like Iran or Cuba.
TO New York Post Last week, he said that his people certainly have an understanding that they are isolated or that migrants are not safe.
“But North Korea seems like a remote kingdom. As a kid, I didn’t know that I adore dictators,” Park said.
As a child, Park was often told that Kim Jong Un and his father, Kim Jong Il, were gods who could read minds.
The propaganda made the people of the ideological Juche country too afraid to speak up, even thinking about the brutality of the Kim family.

At school, he claims to receive math lessons using the metric “America wasted”, or there are sessions called “criticism sessions.”
There, students are taught to attack each other or find fault with their classmates. Making them suspicious of each other and divided.
“We don’t have friends in North Korea. All we have are comrades. We don’t know what friendship is,” Park said.
Park then revealed how he had to eat insects to live, and blamed the Kim regime for letting his people starve.
Both his uncle and his grandmother died of hunger. She then said that it was common to see the corpses of starving victims in the streets.

“You’ll see a lot of people starve. At the time, I didn’t even know it wasn’t normal,” he said.
He also regretted Pyongyang’s decision to spend up to billions of US dollars just to test nuclear weapons.
According to Yeonmi Park, if North Korea had only budgeted 20 percent for its citizens, there would not be a story of starvation.
He also denied rumors that Kim Jong Un was in a coma, whose sources in Pyongyang said the dictator was fine.
Even so, he admitted that he was grateful to be born in North Korea. Because he himself felt the hardships before he defected and moved to the United States.
“If I was not born in a country full of oppression and total darkness, I may not see the light. I don’t think the people there have seen the light like me,” he explained.
