Turn on the TV in South Korea and you'll easily find an entertainment show starring North Korean defectors. It's become a popular way for them to make money, and South Koreans like watching. Young defectors living in the South are also becoming social media stars. In 2017, over one thousand North Koreans escaped to the South. We spoke to YouTuber Ttohyang who posts videos about daily life in North Korea and SoKeel Park, South Korea Country Director at the charity, Liberty in North Korea.
