Few cared about these stories. Some fortunately were documented, but many others have likely been lost or made far harder to recover, as attention remained fixed on redevelopment and an idea of "progress" while residents were pushed out and forced to resettle elsewhere.

Large parts of Bogwang-dong and Hannam-dong in Seoul’s Yongsan-gu are being demolished for the Hannam District 3, or New Town, redevelopment project. This comes 17 years after the area was designated a promotion district. The plan calls for 127 high rises w/ 22 floors max.

NEW: I sat down with the highest-ranking defector known to have fled the North Korean regime in 8 years. He told me Pyongyang wants Donald Trump to return to the White House. It would be “a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity” for North Korea, he said. bbc.com/news/articles/…

"In the early days of Covid, people were "extremely scared". The state broadcast images of people dying around the world. ... As more people survived Covid, they began to think the state had exaggerated the dangers, he said. "Now many believe it was just an excuse to oppress us."

Reporting on this tragedy has felt like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The vast majority of people facing forced repatriation were likely simply living their lives, be it undocumented. In the DPRK, they will face torture, detention, or worse, the UN and experts say.

PODCAST: This week, NK News Seoul Correspondent @IfangBremer discusses the detention of a North Korean defector in China, as well as the filing of criminal charges against U.S. soldier Travis King following his release from the DPRK last month. nknews.org/category/north…
