YEONMI PARK | A North Korean Defector’s Search for Freedom in America (Ep. 431)



In this episode, we welcome Yeonmi Park to the show. She is a North Korean defector, human rights activist, and author of a bestselling memoir In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom (2015). She also has a new book out now called While Time Remains: A North Korean Defector’s Search for Freedom in America.

Let’s get into it…
