    Many left during the Arduous March, aka the horrible DPRK famine caused by a mix of not enough access to global trade of resources and they were not able to supply fertilizer in the amounts necessary. This period is believed to have taken place between roughly 1994-1998. Yeonmi Park, growing up in that period probably had it rough and most likely left in her teens or something. Like loathsome dongeater (lol @ username) said, most likely she smelled a paycheck for giving embellished astounding stories of strife and struggle, all the while ignoring the factors which don’t allow DPRK to develop naturally.
