Han Jin Myung (born 1984) Is a North Korean defector in South Korea. He is formerly the North Korean diplomat to Vietnam, Han served at the North Korean embassy in Vietnam as a second secretary for two years before defecting to South Korea in 2017. Han Speaks French and Korean Fluently and has said that If he does not find his life improving in South Korea, he might move somewhere else.[1]
Early Life/Education

At the age of 11, Han Jin Myung was selected to enter a Pyongyang Foreign Language University-affiliated Foreign Language Academy. At 28 Years old, he entered University. The university that Han went to was the Kim Il Sung University in the North Korean Capital, Pyongyang
Diplomatic Career
[edit]Han worked at the North Korean Foreign Ministry for about 6 years. Han was responsible for diplomatic relations to Equatorial Guinea, then Vietnam. Han was paid about $400 Dollars a month. Han thought that this wage was too low which was one of the contributing factors of why Han defected.[2]
Defection
[edit]Some North Korean officials got in a dispute with Han over some revenue he was gaining from selling property, They wanted 20% of his profits. Han did not want to so he denied. Han knew that he would loose his status as a diplomat because of this and it would've been likely that he was going to be sent to a labor camp or be sent to death. He escaped from the North Korean Embassy in Hanoi then started running to the South Korean Embassy. Han was being chased by the Vietnamese Police which were trying to deport Han to North Korea for punishment. Han successfully ran to the South Korean Embassy and was deported instead, to South Korea.
