In her viral talks viewed online nearly 350 million times and in her book park urges audiences to recognize think about and resist the oppression that exists in North Korea and around the world.
And you described the conditions that you grew up in so your first of all what stands out quite remarkably is the degree of hunger.
So you mentioned as well and so we can talk about your familial situation that in the 1990s the average wage in Korea was the equivalent of $2 a month.
