A North Korean defector has told how dictator Kim Jong-un picks 25 virgin girls every year to be part of his “Pleasure Squad.”
The young women are chosen for their attractiveness, claims 30-year-old Yeonmi Park, as well as for their political loyalty.
Park claims that she was scouted twice for the dubious honour of servicing the tubby dictator and his party cronies, but she wasn’t selected because of her ”family status”. She explained: “They visit every classroom and they even go to school-yards in case they missed someone that was pretty.
“Once they find some pretty girls, the first thing they do is check into their family status – their political status. They eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea, or have relatives in South Korea or other countries.”
The next step is a medical examination to ensure that they are virgins. Candidates who pass that test are subjected to a more detailed medical examination, with even the smallest defect – such as a tiny scar anywhere on the body – being grounds for disqualification.
The rigorous testing leaves “just a handful of girls from all around North Korea”, who are then sent off to Pyongyang. Once selected, Park said, the girls’ “only reason to exist is to please the dictator”.
