you should read Yeong Mi Park's "In Order to Live" book. I love her like a big Bro - or like I love all my students - even though I never met her. She is brave, smart, kind, and trying to help North Koreans. At 13 she was forced into sex with an evil - well not completely evil- Chinese gangster after she got out of North Korea. Later she became a online vid girl South Korean men chatted and watched.

I wish somehow I could have taken my vacation in Southern China next to North Korea and run into her the day the Chinese Gangster took her shopping before he had sex with her that night years ago. I would have slammed that guy on the ground, rented a car and drove through Laos and into Thailand and delivered her safe and sound at the South Korean Embassy. Anyway, right now as I write there are North Korean girls in China afraid to run away for fear of return to North Korea who are the sexual thralls of evil Chinese Human traffickers. I told my friends before I went to Ankor Wat I might end up in jail for murder if any evil Cambodian guy came to my hotel with an underage girl trying to sell her to me for the night as I was told it often happened if you were a single white guy traveling there. Luckily no pimp showed up at my hotel and I did not kill anyone there.

I do not fault Ms. Park for these sexual things. She seems so sweet and sincere in her speech and I wish her all the posh living and fat salary she can get from doing UN style speeches and work she now does.

Anyway you should read her book- and if you find out the name of the PC Bang guy who called her a Waygookin and kicked her out of his PC Bang go there and yell at him - and make him write an apology to her.

Actually met her in person about a year ago (along with half a dozen or so other escapees) at a fundraiser in Seoul.

Some really crazy shit happens to a lot of them

Minus the comma, and I am inclined to agree.

Wow I wish I could have met her too. It is really so sad.

Other than a few terrible times in the Marines I had an easy life. She is a jet set wanted well paid speaker like the brave Pakistani girl who got shot in the head. I am glad for her. I hope she has an easy life and weds a rich K-Star idol and lives happily ever after.

Unfortunately, that is not the case from my understanding. They don't really make any money from speaking, at least significant money anyway, and despite people feeling bad for them, and saying that they need to take action, nothing happens, nor will happen.

Watch some more documentaries, or go meet them at any of their events, and you will quickly see that often times they are treated just as bad, if not worse HERE in S.K, than they were in China after they escaped.
