    One of my earliest engagements with thoughts about DPRK was the horror show that goes on behind the scenes of the KPOP industry. I imagined those DPRK defectors who regret doing so (which I was aware was a phenomenon). I imagined how they must have witnessed the oppulence and excess of such an industry. They must have had a sour taste from advertisements and deep sexual pathology. And I thought to myself how I could sympathize with someone who regretted leaving a group that opposed a capitalist vision of excess and poverty.
