North Korea defector hails Trump's tough stance on hostile country
LONDON – Hyeonseo Lee is one of the best-known defectors from North Korea. And, at only 37, one of the most outspoken about the North Korean regime, now led by Kim Jong Un.
“The North Korean regime really can control people,” she told Fox News, “I think they are the best dictator in the whole planet.”
After fleeing North Korea in 1997 when she was still in her teens and then following difficult years in China, she finally made it to South Korea and the West.
Her book, "The Girl with 7 Names," referring to the alias's she used during her escape, is a global best-seller
Her "Ted Talk" speech has been viewed online some 13 million times.
She "talks" about "slavery" under the rigid regimes of Kim Jong Un's father and grandfather.
“We only receive thus much and we don’t have enough,” she explained, “that’s how we automatically became the slave of the regime.”
She witnessed executions, indoctrination, and a famine in the '90s, which left an estimated million dead and abandoned.
“Because of so many dead bodies, certain people’s job was to get rid of the bodies, with carts,” she recounted.
She was also taught about enemy No. 1, America, she said.
