The following sentences/phrases are from http://www.sukikim.com, which have appeared in most of Suki Kim interviews and The Interpreter related interviews.

undercover?

how was she undercover in pyongyang? did she not show up as a foreigner there to teach english?

the term "undercover" implies she somehow snuck in to the country and blended in as a local. that seems highly unlikely from the job alone.

there are a number of westerners (mainly british, i believe) who have taught there and written articles about it. i don't recall any of them claiming to be "undercover". 2601:19C:527F:A660:7172:56B:67D4:14A8 (talk) 20:24, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
