Seriously though, check out the cover of her first book and compare to any recent photos. Even for a Korean girl you could say she overdid it with the plastic surgery.
By the way I have been told Eunsun Kim's book is a much better story, but I haven't read it to compare.
Without commenting on this particular North Korean’s looks specifically, I often get an uncanny valley feeling looking at North Koreans, in what footage they let out or when their curated fans at international sporting events are shown on camera. I suppose life under Communism will do that.
I’ve seen her interviews. Very good.
Yep she is great at articulating her position and connecting it to her background.
Also it helps that she is easy on the eyes.
I'd want to see her without makeup and camera filters before I make that assessment. There's more than a bit of "uncanny valley" vibe to her videos.

I was surprised to see a North Korean look so good, but I don't have yellow fever.
I just thought they would have poor nutrition or living standards or something.
