      As my understanding she is a north korean refugee that tells incredible stories about previous life under dictatorship. She is not very fluent in english, so the stories became even more fascinating.

          i mean if you come from North Korea then almost anything else would seem like a progressive utopia to what you grew up with.

        she’s known to lie a lot. see this page for example… (use translator)

        i know life in north korea is genuinely awful in many ways but that person just straight out lied too many times. defo not worth the attention they get.

        I’m sure her talking about North Koreans having to push trains sometimes is just a language barrier issue.

        Definitely not her making stuff up because she knows that she can say pretty much anything she wants because it’s very hard to disprove whatever she says. Definitely not making a lot of money from stealing the spotlight from people who have real stories about suffering in North Korea that deserve attention more than her bullshit. No no, North Koreans are special people who can push trains that weigh thousands of tons AND can do it while starving to death. :D

        Yea. I watched a whole documentary / interview with her. She’s been through a lot. I think she has her own Youtube channel and such.
