diplomat North Korea

Ryu is a former North Korean diplomat who defected to South Korea in 2019. He has since become a vocal critic of the North Korean regime and its dynastic leadership. Ryu's insights into the North Korean legal and political system shed light on the importance of the Paektu bloodline, which dictates that only descendants of Kim Il Sung can lead the country, thereby raising questions about the future leadership of North Korea, especially regarding Kim Jong Un's daughter.
