North Korea won’t give up its nuclear weapons. They’re its lifeline. - Kim Hyon-hui

When I was given the mission, my role was to disrupt the Seoul Olympics. North Korea thought that hosting the Olympics would permanently divide the Koreas ... and make South Korea more economically powerful than the North. So I was ordered to harm the ‘South Korean puppets’ by hitting the flight.

North Korea is using the Olympics as a weapon. It’s trying to escape the sanctions by holding hands with South Korea, trying to break free from international isolation.

In North Korea, I lived as Kim Il-sung's robot. In South Korea, I got to live a new life.
