can someone explain the defect part, i dont understand how he became a traitor just by talking to his sister.

He left NK and the guy who set him up with his sister was an agent for NK. The agent told him to go back and the teacher said no, so they killed his family. He became a traitor because they didn't want him to talk about things like this and because he left.


His sister defected by leaving the country - from the party's point of view, having contact with another traitor automatically puts your status as a traitor too.

This is such a sad story but very informational and touching. I really felt bad for his family since he knew he couldn't go back and their blood was indirectly on his hands. I never really read to much into how Kim Jong Il grew up but this was a great realization how north korea raises their people and how a dictator was formed.

Thanks for linking the article. It provided tons of insight into that deceased madman. I wonder though, why and when did that monster change, because it seemed to be fairly quick and drastic.

Very insightful and quite an emotional tale. After visiting South Korea this summer, the conflict that exits between the two is truly interesting.

i feel very much for this teacher, the stress and grief he must feel is just extraordinary. reading this made me very sad because if you think about it this is happening all around the world albeit on a much smaller scale, it just flabbergast me to see the evil of the world. i would give up my freedom that which i have enjoyed very much to a person in that country so they could experience the world for themselfs and see that there is so much more to aspire for. i hope to see that country's evils catch back up with it in my lifetime

author might have just set this guy's death sentence

My friend, who still lives in North Korea, will spend the rest of his days tormented with guilt. At the same time, he did not forget to beg me over and over that this incident was a state secret and that I was not to tell a soul, not even my wife. I kept his secret for some 16 years. There seems little point now in protecting a party, a government, and a leader that failed to do the same for its people.

I can read it though... Try and try again?

OP, thanks for sharing, this is quite an insightful read, and the personal tragedy makes me wonder how much more such vile things happened under the Kims, and more importantly now, in the future.

Also, Wikipedia's "Personality" section for KJI is quite lol.

KJI was one crazy motherfucker. It's interesting to read this after reading about all the propaganda from his cult of personality.

Ahh it finally loaded, is it normal for you to be able to access stuff just by trying again and again? I'm kinda new at dealing with the firewall :D
