North Korean defectors become TV stars in the South | Unreported World

North Korea's Reality Stars: Tensions between North Korea and the US are spreading fears that nuclear war could break out at any moment. But some North Koreans do escape the regime, with more than 30,000 defectors now living in South Korea. There’s even a TV show that quizzes them about their lives in the North. Seyi Rhodes went to South Korea’s capital Seoul to see the show in action.

This Wednesday’s classic Unreported World is as relevant today as it was when first broadcast in April.
