I am sorry... I wouldn't dare to talk about these things if I wasn't Korean
myself ... My grandfather was a general in North Korea, for a short while
though ... My other grandfather was a low-ranking spy for Russian communist
regime. A couple of people were arrested based on his 'tips' ... What I am
trying to say is that this story is also MY story ...
