Kim Jong Un ‘selects 25 virgin girls every year to serve him in his Pleasure Squad’, claims defector who says she was short-listed for the dictator’s harem

Kim Jong Un takes time every year to select 25 virgin girls to personally entertain him in a disturbing “pleasure team,” a North Korean defector claims.

Yeonmi Park, 30, claimed that officials “visit every classroom and… even go to schoolyards in case they miss someone who is beautiful” during their gruesome searches for young women, according to The star.

After undergoing medical tests to check if they are still virgins, “the women have to learn how to please these men – that is their only goal,” she said.

According to the outspoken YouTuber, Kim’s officials select women based on social status and attractiveness, reserving those deemed most attractive to the despot himself, with “less stunning members… instructed to cater to needs of lower-ranking generals and politicians’.

With rare insight, she claimed that the “Pleasure Squad” is divided into three divisions: one specialized in giving massages, another in entertainment through song and dance, and a third willing to “be sexually intimate with the dictator and other men’.

Ms Park fled the regime as a teenager and was reportedly trafficked in China before ‘escaped hell’ to reach America, where she has found success through her memoirs and podcast appearances, portraying life in the ‘Hermit Kingdom’ often compared to the US.

Ms. Park claims she was lucky to avoid selection for Kim’s harem because of her “family status,” suggesting that “they eliminate any girls with relatives who have escaped North Korea or have relatives in South Korea or other countries ‘.

But she said life in North Korea is so dire for many that parents willingly allow their daughters to be recruited in the hope they will 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, claimed the lavish lifestyle is often short-lived and excludes women from their mid-20s.

Some will be married off to Kim’s personal bodyguards, she claimed, adding that “there are rumors” that the “leader’s wife was originally in the Pleasure Squad.”

Ms Park claimed the system had developed as a family tradition, with the incumbent leader favoring more “slim”, taller and “Western-looking” women, while his father, Kim Jong-Il, favored curvy women. faces that would not be in the shadows. him, at a height of only 1.80 metres.

Kim Il-Sung, Jong-Il’s father, meanwhile, “had more traditional taste in women,” with his own group called the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, Ms. Park said.

Little is known about life in North Korea and even fewer details have been leaked about the so-called ‘Pleasure Squads’.

In 2010, a defector told Marie Claire magazine that she was only 15 when two men in uniform took her from her classroom without warning.

Mi-Hyang claimed they recorded her background, consistent with Ms Park’s account, and asked her if she had had sex before.

After passing the tests, she said she was expected to spend 10 years 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 claimed that Kim Jong-Il never made sexual advances on her as a teenager, but held her hand.

She was convinced that he would have done the same if she had stayed in the role into adulthood.

Critics have cast doubt on the narratives of life in North Korea espoused by Ms. Park since her rise to prominence as a conservative or “heterodox” voice in the United States.

Park brushed off the criticism last year in an interview with Megyn Kelly, as reported by the WashingtonPostbefore Kelly claimed to have fact-checked stories told by Ms Park.

Jay Song, a professor of Korean studies at the University of Melbourne, told the Washington Post that Ms Park had been “very enterprising” in her stories but felt she was “really misrepresenting the entire community” of defectors.

Ann Jolley warned in The Diplomat of ‘serious inconsistencies’ in her stories. Park admitted her English skills and imperfect childhood memories may have led to some errors in her memory.

Ms Park previously told how she was sold as a sex slave in China for $200 while trying to escape North Korea as a child.

She officially became a U.S. citizen in 2022, eight years after her family moved to the United States.

She attended Columbia University and in her 2015 memoir compared the environment to that of North Korea, judging that students were “brainwashed like North Korean children.”
