Yeonmi Park

Yeonmi Park is a conservative commentator, Turning Point USA contributor, and North Korean Defector who drew social media attention and scrutiny for her harrowing tales of living in the Democratic Republic of North Korea (DPRK), and escaping through China at the age of 14. Park runs a YouTube channel named "Voice of North Korea by Yeonmi Park" and has made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. Yeonmi claims to have subsided on a diet of "plants" in North Korea that turned "poisonous" in June, leading to widespread starvation. In May 2023, a clip of Yeonmi Park saying that children in North Korea "eat mud" went viral on Twitter. She has also claimed that she was robbed by Black women in Chicago and called "racist" for calling the cops, and has spoken about how the incident turned her "anti-woke" in various media segments and interviews.
