Dispelling Myths and Misconceptions about North Korea

Wilson Center NOW

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Sung-Yoon Lee, Fellow with the Wilson Center’s Indo-Pacific Program, Former Kim Koo-Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies and Assistant Professor, the Fletcher School, Tufts University. He discusses his project at the Wilson Center, “The Pyongyang Playbook: North Korea’s Provocations, Peace Ploys, Propaganda, and Unification Policy.” Lee explains that while many in the West often mock North Korea and the Kim regime, we need to take the self-isolated, totalitarian state much more seriously.
