Former North Korean defector TV star Jon Hye Song has accused several high-profile defectors in the South of fabricating stories about their experiences, in a video by DPRK state-run outlet Uriminzokkiri on Monday.

Jon, who is known as Lim Ji-hyun in the South, has made two previous appearances on the outlet, being interviewed in videos on August 19 and July 15.

Mentioning the names of several well-known North Korean defectors in the South, Jon described them as “scum,” claiming that one encouraged others to make up stories for South Korean TV outlets.

“[The defectors] can’t make up many lies
