In this powerful and deeply moving episode, we sit down with Jihyun Park, activist, survivor, and co-author of The Hard Road Out. Jihyun shares her extraordinary story of growing up under the brutal regime of North Korea, offering a rare and intimate look into daily life inside the world’s most secretive country.

She takes us through her first daring escape, the heartbreaking challenges she faced, and the unimaginable risks she took in search of freedom. Jihyun also opens up about her years in China - years marked by both danger and resilience - as she fought to survive and ultimately reclaim control of her life.

This is a conversation about courage, endurance, and the unbreakable human spirit. Jihyun’s story is not only a testament to her strength, but also an urgent reminder of the realities faced by countless North Korean defectors today.
