How did soft-spoken Yale undergraduate Adrian Hong come to organize resistance to Kim Jong-un’s regime, help defectors escape from North Korea, lead a failed defection operation in Madrid’s North Korean Embassy, and find himself on the run as an international fugitive?

On this episode, we’re joined by Bradley Hope, the author of The Rebel and the Kingdom: The True Story of the Secret Mission to Overthrow the North Korean Regime. Here, we discuss the conflicting stories of what went down at the Madrid Embassy, the consequences Adrian Hong and his co-conspirators face for embarrassing North Korea and causing an international incident, why the largest resistance groups committed to helping people defect from North Korea are in the United States, how Kim Jong-un’s regime brings in the big bucks when the country is starving, how China and North Korea’s relationship may be changing, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
