Who is that? I've seen here around in memes

That's Yeonmi Park, a sort of Korean Candace Owens who went on Rogan to talk about how supposedly, in cursed North Korea, they:

-Have never heard of ice cream

-Must push the trains by hand

-Subsist on rats, who subsist on corpses, in an endless cycle of rat-human consumption

-Have no word for love

These are not exaggerations, and I'm definitely forgetting some other bangers as well. In leftist circles, she's kind of become a joke about all the "In Scary Badcountry, (insert cartoonish bullshit here)" propaganda that we all grow up hearing.

Thanks for the explanation, sounds like something I should dredge up and check out for myself!
