In this powerful and deeply moving episode, we continue our conversation with Jihyun Park, activist, survivor, and co-author of The Hard Road Out.

In Part 1, Jihyun shared her extraordinary story of growing up under the brutal regime of North Korea, she told us about her first daring escape, the heartbreaking challenges she faced, and she opened up about her years in China - years marked by both danger and resilience.

Join us now for Part 2 where Jihyun continues her story with extraordinary courage.

  • She talks to us about being captured, imprisoned in China, and ultimately repatriated back to North Korea.
  • She shares what she witnessed and experienced inside a North Korean prison camp.
  • And how - against all odds - she managed a second escape.

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.
