Interviews with Kim Seung-chul

Interviewed November 22, 2024

That is a really tough question. I would say that North Korea is a place that does not respect human beings and treats them like robots.

It has no respect for individuality. Such practices strengthen the North Korean regime.

If someone were to explain North Korea to the outside world, they could do that by bringing up the human rights issue, but I think there should be other topics as well. Topics like literary works, films, and the arts.

It is unfortunate that not many defectors carry much influence when it comes to the arts.
