I had her interview translated into English, and had the entire interview published in a journal geared toward the North Korean military. The article was titled "In a North Korean Nuclear Defector's Own Words." The interview had not been published in English
prior, or, as far as I know, since.</div><div class="" id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_7_1413574101821_4" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_7_1413574101821_4" style=""><span id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_1_1413574101821_77334" style="font-size:16.3636360168457px;background-color:transparent;" class="">In it, the defector discusses the origin of North Korea's nuclear weapons program (It began in Hamhung, not Pyongyang), the number of Soviet advisors, how North Korea kidnapped several South Korean scientists including Do Sang-rok (who is known as the father of North Korea's nuclear weapons program),
how and when North Korea's nuclear weapons program was moved down to Pyongyang, and when the Soviet advisors withdrew.</span></div><div class="" id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_7_1413574101821_4" style=""><br clear="none" id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_1_1413574101821_76298" class="" style=""></div><div class="" id="yiv3772346576yui_3_16_0_7_1413574101821_4" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16.3636360168457px;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;font-style:normal;background-color:transparent;">I have attached my original article which was co-authored by an elderly resident of Seoul who can speak Korean, Japanese and English.
