A defector is going to have an inherent dislike of the DPRK because they.. well, defected. If someone is happy there, they're not going to defect are they?

Bull$hitters like Yeonmi Park don't make me inclined to believe defectors.

This is a good point, we should ask some average North Koreans directly, that way we get a better balance of viewpoints. Maybe we can catch some on a vacation abroad or something.
