“I was sold for $20 as a sex slave in the 21st century … And they say they’re oppressed because people can’t follow their pronouns they invent every day?” North Korea defector Yeonmi Park sai…
Park’s first book was “In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom.”In an interview this week with The Post, Park recalled what it was like to be a North Korean defector who escaped tyranny and oppression only to meet college students intent on claiming victim status and earning oppression points. She dubbed her alma mater a “pure indoctrination camp” and said many of her classmates at New York City’s most elite school were “brainwashed like North Korean students are.
Growing up in North Korea, Park was told words were dangerous and could lead to her or her family being imprisoned — or executed.In the first five years of her life, an estimated 3.5 million North Koreans died of starvation. Park recalls hunting for cockroaches on the way to school to quell her hunger — even as the Kim’s regime banned the words “famine” and “hunger.”
“I didn’t escape in search of freedom, or liberty, or safety. I escaped in search of a bowl of rice,” she writes. Seven years after they were first separated, Park also reunited with her older sister. But they found out that their father had died shortly after he managed to escape to China.Losing him, Park said, made her “step into a different life: one dedicated to human rights, and improving the lives of people suffering under tyranny. A life of meaning. A life that would make my father proud.”
