"I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea." - Yeonmi Park

"One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller

"Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again." ā€”Publishers Weekly

In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Koreaā€”and to freedom.

Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park's testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.

Quote from SkyKing02 :
Her family in North Korea are part of the high society.

She's making millions by spreading her story and making US propaganda. Look at all that plastic on her face. It's sickening. I don't even know if her story is real or fabricated

Quote from tokkie :
Got a strong suspicion that this lady is tall tale teller. Maybe a even a grifter.
absolutely she is. she was on joe rogan's show saying that she was on a train where it broke down and everyone had to get out and push the train. yes, rather than just walk, they decided to push an 80,000 pound train car. riiight.
then she said that she saw rats eating the eyeballs of a deceased and they had to chase the rat so that they could eat it. and she saw someone's intestines falling out of their body while begging for food. because when your intestines are splayed out, your utmost concern is eating.
and joe rogan absolutely didn't push back at all. what a moron.

Proof? Source? Evidence? Can't just make statements like that without literally anything supporting or even explaining it. I'm curious!
take everything that the US media pushes about NK, Russia, China and Iran (aka "the new Axis of evil") with a heavy dose of salt.

Here she is at the Oslo "Freedom" forum being trained on how to spread her propaganda.

Quote from MastaMINDz7 :
It's loosely based on prior coverage and questions asked about her that did not line up. She came on the air and clarified some of these things but people will think what they think and given how the world and it's inhabitants are today...I can understand the cynicism. The thing is we like to place high standards on "regular" people but never to politicians that ruin your way of life. Like you can't fathom this lady lying to you but it's ok for Faucci and the government to act without impunity. But yeah...it's better to protect your $2 on Amazon. šŸ‘
uhh, no. she's a paid propagandist. see my links.

Quote from slickdude99 :
There were many posts from the CCP army or their supporters spreading lies about her to paint her in a negative light just for speaking poorly of China's human rights. They'd make stuff up like her story kept changing to discredit her but ignores her explanation and the sad truth is people who don't know her or don't have the time to do their own due diligence just believe what is spread because it's simply what's available and convenient at the moment. What made the negative publicity worse for her is that she went on Joe Rogan and Fox News to tell her story so those who were against those platforms for whatever reason already made up their mind about her regardless of facts. When it comes to how one forms or expresses their opinion of her, you can pretty much guarantee they fall into one of those buckets, including the user who posted poorly of her above.
no one's making anything up. there are videos of her embellishing her story and flat out contradicting her previous stories.
for every CCP army person you accuse, there's probably another CIA agent or 10 that's spreading misinformation against our foreign (made up) "enemies". And this has been going on for decades.

Former CIA explicitly explains how the US spreads lies to smear other countries.

you mean other than the fact that he was leading gain of research laboratories in the US, before it was banned so he moved the research to Ukrainian and Chinese labs.
and how he conspired with the CIA to cover it up. Fauci IS the source of covid.
yeah, total class act.

Quote from takoma20 :
Lost me with the ridiculous Fauci bashing. The guy was a civll servant and trying to end the pandemic as quickly as possible. I don't really get the conspiracy theories.

Hey I didn't mean to start unnecessary drama here. I won't judge anyone on their beliefs. I just hope that at the very least people take the news at face value and also seek out independent news sources. I apologize for going off topic in this thread. One thing I will commend you for is choosing to spend your money where it aligns with your morals. You clearly see her as a grifter and that's ok...I think we all know that these atrocities of the CCP and NK are very real and that's the main point.

https://www.science.org/content/a...stleblower
Quote :
A few researchers have revealed how they cooperated with some of the intelligence agencies. Evolutionary biologist Kristian Andersen of Scripps Research and virologist Robert Garry of Tulane University, who have co-authored studies supporting the zoonotic origin and testified before Wenstrup's committee, both met with CIA agents probing the COVID-19 origin over the past few years. Andersen said that "several scientists were part of their team and they knew their stuff." He asserts that the new whistleblower allegation "obviously is bullshit."
Garry similarly says it sounds "ludicrous," noting that the CIA agent who interviewed him "had a solid grasp of all the molecular biology" and didn't give him any sense of leaning in either direction. "This keeps getting stranger," Garry adds.

It's notable that other North Korean defectors and refugees have repeatedly called her a liar, so I'd take everything she says with a big grain of salt. And I definitely wouldn't buy her book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeo..._of_claims
