A defector from North Korea has claimed that the country's supreme leader Kim Jong Un selects '25 virgin girls every year to be a part of his 'pleasure squad.' Yeonmi Park, YouTuber, author and American conservative activist, told The Daily Star that each woman in the squad is picked based on their looks and political inclination.
Park , who defected from North Korea to China at the age of 13 in 2007, claimed that she was scouted twice to be part of the squad, but wasn't ultimately selected because of her 'family status.' She said that the practice was started by Kim Jong Un's father, Korea's previous supreme leader Kim Jong II, sometime in the 1970s.
She alleged that members of the 'pleasure squad' are selected meticulously by visiting each school in North Korea and looking for 'pretty girls.' After the first round of selection, which involves a family background check, the selected girls are sent for a medical examination to check if they are virgin.
“Once they find some pretty girls, the first thing they do is check into their family status – their political status. They eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea, or have relatives in South Korea or other countries,” Park said.
Within the squad, there exist three distinct divisions, Park said. One is adept in the art of massage, while another specialises in singing and dancing. This latter group occasionally graces the public eye as the Moranbong band. The third division, she said, is designated as the 'sexual activities division.'
"Their duties entail intimate engagements with the dictator and other men. They are trained extensively in the art of pleasing these individuals - this is their sole objective," Park explained.
The most alluring members of the group are reserved for the pleasure of Kim himself, whereas those deemed less captivating are assigned to attend to lower-ranking generals and politicians, Park alleged in the interview with The Daily Star.
