Kim Jong Un takes the time each year to select 25 virgin girls to personally entertain him in a disturbing “pleasure squad”, a North Korean defector has claimed.
Yeonmi Park, 30, alleged that officials “visit every classroom and…even go to schoolyards in case they miss someone who is pretty” in their gruesome searches for young women, according to The star.
After undergoing medical tests to prove they are still virgins, the women “have to learn to please these men; that’s their only goal,” she said.
According to the outspoken YouTuber, Kim’s officials select women based on their social status and attractiveness, reserving those they deem most attractive for the despot himself, with “less impressive members…ordered to serve the needs of generals and lower-ranking politicians. .
With rare insight, he stated that the ‘Pleasure Squad’ is divided into three divisions: one specializes in giving massages, another in entertaining through song and dance, and a third prepared to have ‘sexual intimacy with the dictator and others.’ men’.
Ms. Park fled the regime as a teenager and was allegedly trafficked in China before “escaping hell” to reach the United States, where she found success through her memoirs and podcast appearances, often comparing life in the “Hermit Kingdom” with the United States.
Ms. Park has shared great stories of life in North Korea since she defected as a child.
Park claims that she was lucky to avoid selection for Kim’s harem due to her “family status”, suggesting that they “eliminate any girls with relatives who have escaped from North Korea or who have relatives in South Korea or other countries.” .
But he said that for many, life in North Korea is so terrible that parents will happily allow their daughters to be recruited in the hope that they can enjoy a better quality of life.
The defector, who has amassed more than a million subscribers on YouTube with her stories of life within the dictatorship, stated that the luxury lifestyle is usually short-lived, and that women are expelled when they reach their twenties. years.
Some will be married to Kim’s personal bodyguards, he claimed, adding that “there are rumors” that the leader’s “wife was originally in the Pleasure Squad.”
Ms Park claimed that the system had evolved as a family tradition, with the incumbent leader preferring “thinner”, taller and “Western-looking” women, while her father, Kim Jong-Il, had a predilection for round-faced women who did not shrink. him, with a height of only 5 feet 2 inches.
Kim Il-Sung, Jong-Il’s father, “had a more traditional taste in women,” meanwhile, with his own group called Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, Ms. Park said.
Little is known about life inside North Korea, and even fewer details have been leaked about the supposed ‘Pleasure Squads’.
In 2010, a dropout told Marie Claire magazine that she was just 15 years old when two uniformed men pulled her out of her classroom at school without warning.
Mi-Hyang claimed that they did a background check, according to Ms. Park, and asked her if she had had sex before.
After passing the tests, he said he was expected to spend a decade with Kim Jong-Il as part of his Kippumjo, or Pleasure Squad.
She claimed she was not allowed to speak to her family during that time and knew she would be executed if she tried to escape.
Mi-Hyang maintained that Kim Jong-Il never made sexual advances toward her when she was a teenager, but that he held her hand.
She was convinced that if she had stayed in the role into adulthood, he would have done it.
Critics have cast doubt on stories of life inside North Korea espoused by Park since her rise to prominence as a conservative or “heterodox” voice in the United States.
Park shrugged off criticism in an interview with Megyn Kelly last year, the Washington Postbefore Kelly claimed Ms Park retold verified stories.

Jay Song, a professor of Korean studies at the University of Melbourne, told the Washington Post that Park had been “very enterprising” in her stories, but felt she was “really misrepresenting the entire community” of defectors.
Ann Jolley, writing in The Diplomat, warned of “serious inconsistencies” within his stories. Park accepted His English skills and imperfect childhood memories may have caused some errors in his memory.
Ms Park previously told how she was sold into sex slavery in China for $200 while trying to escape North Korea as a child.
In 2022, she officially became a US citizen, eight years after her family moved to the United States.
He attended Columbia University and in his 2015 memoir compared the environment to that of North Korea, assessing that the students were “brainwashed like North Korean children.”
