Any details you can share? Sounds interesting, but I probably won't get around to reading it.

Ms Park has gone from tragic and respected refugee, to fullout lunatic being caught in all kind of lies. I feel genuinely sad for her. Find the early interviews with her, without the plastic surgery (mentioning this because of timeline, not for judgement). You will see a different person.

WOW I had no idea - after the first interview, I didnt follow her in any regard... so I had no idea...

But - I did have a secret thought when I first saw the interview on Rogan, that the reason she was largely given credence and airtime was her atractive looks...

Based on your comment, she might be a demented sociopath along the same ilk as Elizabeth Holmes. (who thought getting pregnant would keep her out of prison)

It's not. The author's own dad publically called him out as a liar about his story (I believe the author claimed his dad was dead). It's a fabricated story, like almost all defector stories from North Korea. Stories like his sells well, and there's no way to verify any of it.
