A North Korean defector has called on President Donald Trump to help topple Kim Jong-un’s regime by force.
Song Byeok, who worked as a propaganda artist before fleeing the brutal regime in 2002, told Mail Online that he believes conflict with the dictator is ‘unavoidable’.
But Mr Song, who now lives in South Korea, said that war on the Peninsula is a price worth paying in order to being peace and stability back to his home country.
With an ‘armada’ of US warships parked on North Korea’s doorstep, Mr Song called on America and other world leaders ‘to make a change so the North Korea people can be free.’
Mr Song said the Kim regime will never give up power without a fight because officials are fearful of what people will do once they find out they have been lied to their entire lives.
But he said that the internet is already changing some people’s perceptions inside the isolated nation, and making them realise that the world outside North Korea is not as bad as they have been told.
In the event of a conflict, he believes that many ‘ordinary citizens’ would refuse to fight for Kim Jong-un because ‘they want democracy.’
For Mr Song, it was the experience of watching members of his family starve to death during the great famine in the 1990s that convinced him to defect.
He lost his mother and sister to the famine, while he was forced to make posters glorifying the ‘arduous struggle’, as it was called by then-ruler Kim Jong-il
