Yeonmi Park, a North Korean who fled to South Korea and sought asylum was recruited by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) – spy agency of South Korea as propagandist to run bogus disinformation against North Korea on social media platforms, including vide-sharing site YouTube. Lately, Yeonmi Park has come up with an outrageously false propaganda targeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stating the leader has been getting a “pleasure squad” of “25 virgins” every year.
According to least circulated UK newspaper Daily Star, KCIA propagandist and pathological liar Park said, she was “scouted twice for the dubious honor of servicing” the North Korean leader and members of country’s ruling Workers Party, but “she wasn’t selected because of her family status”.
She told Daily Star, “They visit every classroom and they even go to school-yards in case they missed someone that was pretty. Once they find some pretty girls, the first thing they do is check into their family status – their political status. They eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea, or have relatives in South Korea or other countries”.
Kim also spread similar lies targeting Kim Jong-Il – father of Kim Jong Un stating he “believed that having sexual intimacy with young teenage girls would give him immortality”.
She said, “Kim Jong-Il devised the idea of this pleasure squad in the 1970s. He thought ‘If I pick some pretty girls, and place them where my father Kim Il-Sung stays, he might find that very pleasurable. So, he picked beautiful women and put them in resorts that Kim Il-Sung visited. Kim Il-Sung was so touched that his son thought of his pleasure, and that’s why he nominated Kim Jong-Il as his successor”.
South Korean KCIA agent Yeonmi Park even went further by spreading disinformation targeting North Korea’s Founding Father – Kim Il Sung stating, “In 1983, Kim Jong-Il created a second “Joy Division” for his own use. Park said that the make-up of the pleasure squad has changed over the years because all three men had a different taste in women. Kim Il-Sung had more traditional taste in women, because he was older, so he had his own group called Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble. Kim Jong-Il had this own pleasure squad called Wangjaesan Light Music Band.
“Their body types were a bit different. Kim Jong-Il preferred women taller than 160cm [about 5’2”] – not that tall because Kim Jong-Il was very short. The women the older Kim picked tended to be quite round-faced. Kim Jong-un tends to select more “slender” women for his personal entourage and favors taller, more “western-looking” women. There are rumors that his wife was originally in the Pleasure Squad”.
The same propaganda also appeared in British gossip tabloid Daily Mirror.
According to credible sources, South Korean authorities including its infamous spy agency – Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) turned extremely nervous following North Korea’s recent successful launch of intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), known as the Hwasongpho-16B, which is a new type of “solid-fueled ballistic missile loaded with newly developed hypersonic gliding warhead”.
According to Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), after the missile was launched, the hypersonic warhead separated from the missile and reached its first peak at a height of 101.1 km and the second at 72.3 km, while traveling 1,000 km before hitting its target in the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The test-fire had no adverse effect on the security of neighboring countries.
KCNA said, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was satisfied with the firing and said the weapon was developed to demonstrate the advantage of North Korea’s defense science and technology. He also said that North Korea had successfully implemented the Party Central Committee’s three principles of building a missile-armed force for rapidly, accurately and powerfully striking any enemy target worldwide.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) issued a statement condemning North Korea’s IRBM firing. “We strongly condemn the North Korean missile launch as a clear act of provocation that gravely threatens the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula”, it said.
According to French news outlet France24 TV, North Korea’s hypersonic missiles travel at speeds of at least Mach 5 – five times the speed of sound – and can maneuver mid-flight, making them harder to track and intercept.
Depending on their design, they can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.
France24 added, North Korea claimed last year it had successfully tested its first solid-fueled ICBM – the largest, longest-range category of ballistic missile – hailing it as a key breakthrough for the country’s nuclear counterattack capabilities.
Experts say solid-fuel missiles typically have a higher level of operational ease and safety, compared to liquid-fuel weapons. Solid-fuel missiles do not need to be fueled before launch, making them harder to find and destroy, as well as quicker to use.
Nervous South Korea’s nasty attempt targeting Pyongyang
Following North Korea’s successful test of intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), South Korean spy agency KCIA began frantic bids of spreading nasty propaganda targeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. At this stage, it provided Yeonmi Park a cooked-up story and instructed South Korean mission in the United States to get a propaganda based on Yeonmi Park’s claims published in any of the leading American media outlets. As none of the US media agreed to run this propaganda content because Yeonmi Park lacks minimum credibility while he is known as one of the key-propagandists of KCIA spreading disinformation against North Korea on a regular basis.
Desperate members of South Korean mission as well as some businessmen even offered large amount of cash to several US media outlets. As such bids fell flat, authorities in Seoul instructed its embassies in a number of European countries, including Britain. Finally, South Korean embassy in London hired a PR agency which agreed to get Yeonmi Park’s propaganda stuff published in Daily Star and Mirror in exchange for £250,000.
It may be mentioned here that, Yeonmi Park runs her propaganda through a YouTube channel named ‘Voice of North Korea by Yeonmi Park’ which has 1.4 million subscribers, verified Facebook page with 266,000 followers. verified ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) account with 188,400 followers and Instagram account with 561,000 followers. Her activities on social media platforms are coordinated and directed by a team of KCIA officers specialized in propaganda.
It may also be mentioned here Yeonmi Park has been maintaining “healthy relations” with several key-figures in South Korean spy agency as well as top-brasses in the army. To most of the members of KCIA, she is known as “whore”.
