Thae Yong Ho is the first defector from North Korea to be directly-elected to ROK’s National Assembly. His pseudonym, Ku-min, means “saving people.”
He and fellow defector Ji Seong-ho, a human-rights activist, successfully ran under the banner of opposition conservative United Future Party in the midst of the ruling party’s landslide.
After watching DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS, I hope that the social status of defectors improves as a result of voters’ acceptance of these two candidates at the polls.
