The growing discontent among North Korean elites

Through hundreds of hours of interviews with North Korean defectors, author Jieun Baek has pieced together insights into the "Hermit Kingdom's" privileged class of elites. In a new essay for Foreign Affairs, Baek explores the stifled discontent growing among the cadre of high ranking officials running the country for the Kim family. As Baek tells Host Marco Werman, the Kims have created a system of a few carrots and many, brutal sticks to keep the elites in check.
