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 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.
