Mr Kim fled North Korea on a fishing boat with his entire family in May.

In the first interview with a defector to have escaped since the pandemic - he tells us how he masterminded their remarkable escape and reveals new details about life in the country.

LATEST: Ever since the Hamas attack, South Korean politicians have invoked comparisons with what Pyongyang might do to the South.

But is it really at risk of a such an attack - or has the conflict merely given it a reason to get tougher with North Korea?

South Korean police have caught a man for indiscriminately beating a female convenience store staffer because she had short hair and was assumed to be a feminist. He told police he was part of a masculinist group, and that feminists needed to be hit.
