Just Real Stories and Food with a North Korean defector If you’re curious about North Korea beyond the fences of the DMZ, this is the experience for you. Hosted by Eunhee, a North Korean defector fluent in English, this intimate session offers something the DMZ never can—a real, human connection. You’ll meet Eunhee at a cosy North Korean restaurant in Seoul, where you’ll get to taste authentic dishes from the North—meals she grew up with and still cherishes. Depending on your booking time, it will be either lunch or dinner (or street food options!). While sharing the food, Eunhee will open up about her personal journey: growing up in North Korea, escaping the regime, and starting a new life in South Korea. This is not a scripted tour. It’s a safe space for conversation, storytelling, and honest questions—nothing is off-limits. From daily life in North Korea to the defection process and resettlement challenges, you’ll gain insight that’s hard to find elsewhere. No translators. No filters. Just a meaningful, first-hand encounter with someone who has lived both sides of the Korean divide. Perfect for: Anyone wanting to go beyond the headlines.
