But why would they want to escape from the People’s Paradise of Best Korea?
According to Hexbear, it’s actually the UN which is preventing North Koreans from leaving their country.
God I’m so glad I never see hexbears.
I feel like they’re moving to .ml and I’ll need to instance block that soon.
Yea I’ve noticed too. After many defederated, they have multiple accounts to spread their bullshit
But they also don’t want to leave because they know how the west just wants nothing more than to mill them.
And also anything that indicates NK is less than perfect means you’re racist, colonialist, and white. And its not true. And it’s the CIA doing a coverup/false flag.
If the brain were truly a muscle, theirs would be swollen from all the mental gymnastics needed to maintain their perceived moral high ground… And every single one has that tinge of “surely the leopards wouldn’t eat MY face…”
They should all go live in North Korea and find out
I’ve been told more actually defect to them for the “greatest medical system in the world that has the cure to cancer”
Tankies: “wow, the CIA must be working around the clock!”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The number of North Koreans who defected to South Korea tripled last year, as the easing of border closures imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic encouraged students, women and diplomats to make the perilous journey.
Defector numbers plummeted after North Korea sealed its border with China in early 2020 to prevent the virus from crippling its already inadequate healthcare system, with guards reportedly ordered to shoot suspected escapees on sight.
Very few people attempt to reach the South directly via the heavily armed demilitarised zone or by crossing the de facto maritime border, known as the northern limit line.
Last year, 13 defectors fled to the South by sea, the ministry said, adding that their willingness to risk their personal safety was indicative of “worsening conditions in North Korea”.
“Many must have found it unacceptable after experiencing what it was like to live in the free world, knowing that the economic situation even worsened and internal controls strengthened in North Korea.”
The most high-profile defectors include Thae Yong-ho, who defected in 2016 from the post of deputy ambassador at the North’s embassy in London, declaring himself “sick and tired” of Kim’s regime.

Glad they got out, but I have to think Dear Leader will punish their families for it.
