North Korean soldier and defector (1976-)
Lee So-yeon was born in North Korea, probably in 1976, to a university professor father. She joined the army in 1992 in order to get more food and other rations.[1]
Lee served in the North Korean army as a sergeant for about 10 years. She was taught to revile Americans; that they were jackals, vampires, and barbarians. The goal was to make South Korea a “sea of fire” and America a “pile of ashes.”[2]
While in the army, Lee was stationed in South Hwanghae Province in an all-woman division. Her job was to relay coordinates from the front line to commanders operating artillery pointed at South Korea. She was hungry even in the army.[2] The average soldier was proud of North Korea’s nuclear weapons. She said North Korea does not have the power to defeat America. She witnessed a lot of sexual abuse and violence against female soldiers while in the Army.[1] Lee describes Donald Trump as a “cool guy” because he has “guts” and stands up to North Korea. After her first attempt to defect failed, she was imprisoned for one year and tortured. Her second attempt to defect to South Korea in 2008 was successful. She did so by crossing the Tumen River to China.[1] Lee is now the director of the New Korea Women’s Union; an organization dedicated to helping female defectors from North Korea and exposed North Korea’s abuses against woemen.[2]
