Welcome back from another episode of the Federalist Radio Hour.

My name is Sean Fleetwood, a staff writer here at the Federalist, and I'm going to be

your host for today's discussion.

As always, make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on Instagram,

Facebook, and Twitter at FDRLST.

For today's episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Jan Mi Park.

Jan Mi is a North Korean defector and human rights activist.

At the age of 13, she escaped North Korea only to fall victim to sex trafficking in China,

before later escaping to South Korea and eventually America.

Jan Mi is now a US citizen, and she's here today to talk about her brand new book, which

is out now, called Well Time Remains, a North Korean defector search for freedom in America.

Jan Mi Park, welcome to the program.

Thank you for having me.

It's great to have you here.

So before we jump into the book, I was hoping you could provide our audience with a quick synopsis

of your experiences in North Korea, because I think it's one thing for American citizens to,

you know, read about what's going on in North Korea from policy analysts and experts.

But it's a whole other thing to hear from someone who experienced the brutality of the Kim regime

up close and personal.

Yeah, thank you.

I think when I try to describe North Korea to the people outside,

it almost seems like, you know, talking about different planets.
