North Koreans starved to death during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a recent defector from the country, who also described the execution of a man for listening to South Korean music.
The man, identified only as Kim, escaped last May with eight other members of his family, including young children, and made the dangerous escape to South Korea by boat. His account is impossible to verify independently but, if accurate, it suggests that food shortages in parts of North Korea have been worse than many outside observers have assumed.
Justin is salivating.
