A 23-year old, poverty-stricken young woman who appeared in newspapers and on TV around the world when she was filmed by a cameraman inside North Korea died of starvation in October, it has been revealed.
The woman, who appeared in a KBS special program, “North Korea’s Third Generation Succession: Who Is Kim Jong Eun?” alongside global media including the BBC(UK) and Asahi TV(Japan) amply demonstrated the dire straits in which some North Korean people live. Reduced to rags following the death of both her parents, she said she wandered the fields looking for grasses.
Speaking with the cameraman, who asked what she planned to do with the grass, the girl, who admitted that she also slept outside, said, “I’m going to eat it.”
Speaking with The Daily NK today, Asia Press said, “According to Kim Dong Cheol, who interviewed the girl in South Pyongan Province while he was doing some research inside North Korea in June, she died on or around October 20th.”
“It was discovered that, without a home, she had been wandering in the market and on the streets, before dying in a corn field,” the Asia Press spokesperson explained, “Since then was harvest time, she went there to eat corn but seems to have died of starvation.”
Her body was apparently already decomposing by the time it was found, but the local People’s Safety Ministry agents were in no hurry to deal with it because she did not have any family, so it was left for a long time.
According to Asia Press, “The chaotic situation caused by the currency redenomination in November last year has caused an increase in kotjebi numbers across the country, and in some regions there have been people dying of starvation. She was also a victim of that impractical plan.”

I've given up hoping starvation will end around the world and starting concentrating on hoping it won't grow here. Our government and our people seem to be set on seeing the poor starve to death. I can't believe our governor, among other things, just stopped hospice for the poor. Seems they can't die off fast enough for her.
How can the richest country in the world not have enough money to provide food for it's people? Medical care? etc. Seems all Obama's promises were empty.
I kind of hope the evil greedy blanks that run this country get their comeuppance sooner rather than latter. We've tried voting them out, we've tried demonstrations...what's left?
Nobody ever starved before tyrants began masquerading as communists?This is the glory of socialism. Misery, starvation, and a morally dead aristocracy.
If you are broke in South Korea, it is no picnic then either. South Korean media are quite direct about the level of pain the destitute face there.
But this level of crass and stupid is only achievable with communism. From Ethiopia in the 80's, modern Cuba, Russia in repeated periods in the 1920's 1930's and again in the 1950's, China during the "Great Leap Forward..." As Marx said, History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. This is a particularly gruesome kind of face here.

Hospice doesn't do anything to keep people from dying, sheila. And we do provide food for our people, as well as medical care.

As long as the current regime in North Korea is in power the people will keep starving there.

And what is our excuse?
Thanks for blaming the USA.Of course our blocking trade with NK has nothing to do with their problems at all.
Famines were common in the days before Republican government. There were laws to artificially depress the prices of food, prevent folks from selling stuff for the best price they could get, And there was just the fact that moving bulky stuff from point A to point B was hard due to no roads and bandits where there were roads.
But this kind of thing in the 20th Century has been exclusively the results of deliberate policy by Socialist states.
Because we will try to save premmies.quorap. We have the highest infant mortality rate in industrialized nations....we also have the highest rate of deaths due to malnutrition. In fact, on a list of the best countries to live in, we don't even make the top 10, so me socialist countries do.
I use to rant about North Korea ALL the time.
I was outraged that NK had prisons where children were born, and lived their entire lives in a work camp.
But, China is their governments protector. And absolutely nothing will change in North Korea until China stops protecting them.
And that is not likely to change perhaps ever.
