The Mosaic continues with its series of conversations on North Korean defectors. Last week, we spoke with Freedom Speakers International (FSI) co-founders about the significance of teaching English and public speaking to the defectors. Now, we're speaking with two North Korean refugees, Myeonghee Kim and Nayoung Lee about their stories.

We discuss life under the regime, a famine that killed hundreds of thousands, the culture of fear in North Korea, and how they escaped.
