 “Ask a North Korean” is an NK News series featuring interviews with and columns by North Korean defectors, most of whom left the DPRK within the last few years. Readers may submit their questions for defectors by emailing [email protected] and including their first name and city of residence. Today’s question is about holidays in North Korea. Rose — who was born and raised in North Korea and lived there until she defected in 2019 — recalls spending time with her family to celebrate the Lunar New Year and her first taste of a Western holiday.
