    I hear life in South Korea is pretty bleak these days. But is it really worse than a North Korean gulag?

      I saw a video about a support group for NK defectors in SK.

      The main reasons for some people regret leaving NK were:

      • They were born and raised in a rural environment without any technology and in SK you must know to use a digital device for almost all jobs.
      • They miss family, friends, their environment, etc. They are now in a very strange place without the people from their lives.
      • Some are treated as second class citizens, targeted cause being tech illiterate and having a noticeable different accent.
