MONSTER AND ME:
A DEFECTOR who fled Kim JongUn’s inner circle has told how she witnessed first-hand the brutality the dictator unleashes on his oppressed people.
Hee Yeon Lim risked her own life to reveal how the paranoid North Korean leader casually orders the executions of anyone he deems to have crossed him or his party.
The 26-year-old spoke out as crazed Jong-un heads on a dangerous nuclear collision course with Donald Trump over his provocative missile testing that could end in all-out war.
Hee Yeon lived a life of privilege in the capital Pyongyang as she was the daughter of an army colonel – but that did not protect her from being exposed to the horrors the despot subjected his people to.
She revealed she was forced to watch a group of musicians being publicly executed at a football stadium after they were accused of making a pornographic video.
Hee Yeon also told how Jong-un enjoys £1000-a-time lunches while millions of his subjects survive on nothing more than grass or bark.
And she said the podgy dictator plucks teenage girls from school as his sex slaves, despite being a married dad of three.
He also has hundreds of secret luxury boltholes deep in his rogue state to hide in, making it virtually impossible for foreign spy chiefs to track his whereabouts.
And he even forces members of the elite to watch the executions he orders on a whim.
Speaking of the brutal killings she witnesses, graduate Hee Yeon said: “We were ordered to leave our classes by security men and made to travel to Pyongyang.
“There is a sports ground there, a kind of stadium.
“The musicians were brought out, tied up, hooded and apparently gagged, so they could not make a noise, not beg for mercy or scream.
“They were lashed to the end of anti-aircraft guns.
“There were around 10,000 people ordered to watch that day and I was standing 200ft from these victims.
“A gun was fired, the noise was deafening.
“It was absolutely terrifying and the guns were fired one after the other.
“The musicians just disappeared each time the guns were fired into them. Their bodies were blown to bits, totally destroyed, blood and bits flying everywhere.
“And then after that military tanks moved in and they ran over the bits on the ground where the remains lay.
“The tracks were run over the remains and blood repeatedly, over and over again and made to grind the remains, to smash them into the ground until there was nothing left.
“I felt desperately ill from witnessing this. It was so horrible and I could not eat for three days as it made my stomach churn.
“What I saw that day made me sick in my stomach. Despite our privilege we were scared. I saw terrible things in Pyongyang.”
