The Intriguing Challenge of Interviewing Fake Workers in North Korea
When it comes to interviewing individuals allegedly posing as North Korean workers, one question consistently baffles them: “What are your thoughts on Kim Jong Un’s physique?”
According to Adam Meyers, who has conducted numerous interviews with these candidates, this particular question tends to derail the conversation almost immediately. The reason is simple—expressing any negative comments about the North Korean leader is a risk they are unwilling to take. As a result, the interviewers often find themselves faced with abrupt hang-ups, highlighting the delicate nature of discussing anything related to the country’s leadership.
This dynamic raises significant questions about the broader implications of such interviews. For anyone navigating the intricate web of North Korean politics and perceptions, even the most innocuous inquiries can lead to tension or immediate dismissal. It becomes a fascinating glimpse into how fear of reprisal profoundly affects communication and interaction, even in a professional context.
