This podcast is about a girl who managed to escape from North Korea when she was 13 (15 in Korean age). I was already aware of some of the crazy rules in the country, but hearing it from someone who actually experienced them felt completely different.
According to her the government controls the public through fear and hunger, similar to Stalin's regime. What I found most shocking was that seeing dead bodies on the streets is completely normal for them, and they feel nothing about it..
After escaping, Yeonmi Park went through very hard times. She had never even seen a world map before. Now, she lives in the USA and feels upset that people don’t speak up or help those suffering in North Korea. In a way, it seems understandable because China supports North Korea, and no one has had the courage to challenge such a dictatorship.
Listening to the podcast gave me a chance to see the world from a different perspective. Additionally, made me truly grateful for the life now I have.
