North Korean defector and human rights activist Yeonmi Park is back with a new book. But this time, her target isn’t Kim Jong Un — it’s “woke” America.
In “While Time Remains,” Park covers well-trodden right-wing talking points, taking aim at gender pronouns, cancel culture and even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And she draws on her experiences as a North Korean refugee — a victim of brainwashing, malnourishment and trafficking — to present herself as well-positioned to recognize oppression when she sees it.
