A North Korean defector claims that Kim Jong Un spends time each year selecting 25 virgin ladies to amuse him personally in a terrifying ‘pleasure squad.’

According to The Star, Yeonmi Park, 30, claimed that officials ‘visit every classroom and even go to schoolyards in case they missed someone that was lovely’ during their terrifying searches for young ladies.
After having medical checks to ensure their virginity, the women ‘had to learn how to please these men—that’s their sole purpose,’ she said.
According to the outspoken YouTuber, Kim’s bureaucrats select women based on social status and looks, reserving those judged most gorgeous for the despot himself, with “less stunning members… ordered to cater to the needs of lower-ranking generals.”
With unusual insight, she stated the ‘Pleasure Squad’ is divided into three divisions: one that specialises in massages, another that entertains through song and dance, and a third that is willing to be’sexually personal with the dictator and other males.
Ms Park fled the dictatorship as a child and was allegedly human trafficked in China before ‘escaping hell’ to America, where she has achieved fame through her memoir and podcast appearances, frequently comparing life in the ‘Hermit Kingdom’ to the United States.
Ms. Park believes she was fortunate not to be selected for Kim’s harem owing to her ‘family standing’, implying that ‘they exclude any girls with family members who have escaped from North Korea or have relatives in South Korea or other countries’.
But she said for many, life in North Korea is so dire that parents will happily allow their daughters to be recruited in the hope they might enjoy a better quality of life.
The defector, who has amassed more than one million subscribers on YouTube with her tales of life inside the dictatorship, claimed that the luxury lifestyle is often short-lived, with women cast out when they reach their mid-twenties.
Some will be married off to Kim’s personal bodyguards, she claimed, adding that ‘there are rumours’ that the leader’s ‘wife was originally in the Pleasure Squad’.
Ms Park claimed the system had evolved as a family tradition, with the incumbent leader preferring more ‘slender’, taller and ‘western-looking’ women while his father, Kim Jong-Il had a penchant for round-faced women who would not dwarf him, standing at just 5ft 2″.
Kim Il-Sung, father to Jong-Il, ‘had a more traditional taste in women’, meanwhile, with his own group called the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, Ms. Park said.
In 2010, one defector told Marie Claire magazine that she was just 15 when two men in uniforms took her from her classroom at school without warning.
Mi-Hyang claimed they made a record of her background, in line with Ms Park’s account, and asked her if she had had sex before.
After passing their tests, she said she was expected to spend a decade with Kim Jong-Il as part of his Kippumjo, or Pleasure Squad.
She claimed she was not allowed to speak to her family during that time and knew that she would be executed if she tried to escape.
Mi-Hyang maintained that Kim Jong-Il never made sexual advances on her as a teenager, but would hold her hand.
She was convinced had she stayed in the role through to adulthood, he would have.
