I remember years ago reading about someone from the north who had defected to South Korea after they were shown an episode of a SK TV show about two women fighting over a car parking space. Seeing a normal person in the country next door being able to argue over something so inconsequential because they already had every basic need met cut through.
I'm sure SK tries to send propaganda information to the north. Maybe they should saturate them with bullshit first world problem complaints instead.
- CrackerNews 3y agoThe harsh reality is that NK defectors could end up being second class citizens in the South or wish to return back [0].

- jemmyw 3y agoPerhaps more harsh is that the entire population of NK cannot just defect south. A few people have managed. The only path would be an uprising and that will only work if it includes the military personnel and security apparatus. I never understand why those folks are ok doing what they do and being the tools of dictators against even their own family. But time and again we're shown people will do their job to the bitter end.
