To Ri Kon-Yung, what do you think of the Japanese?

Ri Kon-Yung: "" (Translation: I thought that they were evil people for what they did to the Koreans until I met a Japanese man visiting the North, I have to admit it, he was really nice, since I couldn't read that well, he taught me how to read, I was only 13 when I met him, since then, I had high hopes for the Japanese, if one came to visit after a nuclear test, I wrote a little sorry note)

Andrew: "When she spoke Korean, her voice, I cannot describe it, it's so soft, Ri Kon-Yung, He is very interested in the growth of South Korean children and he observes me when visiting the DMZ, his voice, very delicate and shy, Ri Ji-Min, her voice is almost like a child, soft and peaceful, the family look too peaceful for a country that has a terrible human rights record, but the UK is trying to help the nation improve the rights, the 1966 World Cup is one of the reasons why DPRK won't attack, but what upsets Mr and Mrs. Ri and my biological parents is that if one of those missiles hits the USA, me and Marie would be killed, this is why she goes to DPRK time to time during the year so her parent's know she's okay."

'He ate all the poor children at the end!', 'Can I eat that?' and more! Yes, Supreme Leader keeps out of the public eye, only parts of his past are revealed….It’s just a facade I keep up.

I do, I was given a bunch of sweets, I only ate the fruit-flavoured candies, since when I tried taffy, I said it was horrible and tried to get it out, and I used fruit hard candies to wash them out, and my love of fruit-flavoured sweets was born)

DANNY RUTTER?!", pardon my language, And my dad freaked out, he dropped the phone in fear, he had difficulty eating right after that, Danny picked up the phone and chastised him for yelling at my real father, my dad hates getting yelled at and he just cries and screams because he thinks he's in trouble, there was one time on soldier my dad was friends with tried driving a tank, he made so many darn mistakes, we were just laughing at him, my father laughed the hardest, to the point he actually peed himself, he changed after we went home, when my adoptive family went back to the hotel, my parents tell the Korean War, known as Fatherland Liberation War in North Korea, yet I'm still not brainwashed, but interesting, we once went to the DMZ and saw Andrew there, my dad is also a tour guide and I'm his translator for those who don't speak Korean or understand it, my adopted family come too, my dad is given fruit flavoured candies, and fruit, especially oranges, he is friendly enough to let people sit on chairs, something you cannot do in the south of DMZ, I know about the Thrift Shop incident, were me and 5 other soldiers, including dad, his and laughed in private."

Ri Ji-Min: "" (Translation: Yep, pretty well until we had to leave the country)

To Ri Ji-Min and Ri Kon-Yung, how do you deal with screaming children in restaurants?

Ri Ji-Min: "" (Translation: I have a UK Visa and I went to the UK with my husband so my daughter can be with us for an exchange trip, and that ROK boy's parents, Park In-hwan and Park Ki-ok came along, Park Mi-Cha, she was dressed in clothes like one of those Japanese girls, she even had a smartphone and I was very unfamiliar with ROK culture and I showed curiosity, and back to the question, I hate screaming kids, we went out to eat at a Korean restaurant, there was these d****ed parents letting their bratty kids run around the restaurant, one of them took my daughter's swordsman toy off her, she's quite attached to that doll, she went over to the parents and demanded the doll back, the little girl, who was holding it said no until Ri Min-Li yanked him out of her hands, she even made her cry, saying she wanted the doll, Look, my daughter is not a vicious child, she just hates people taking Mr. Swordsman off her, she held the doll around like an infant and she sat down, I found that quite hilarious, I was snickering alongside Park Mi-Cha, she can be nice at times, but a little shy, like Kon-Yung, while I had a more enthusiastic personality, yet sweet and gentle, I hate screaming kids, but the cutest is when Min-Li asked me to protect her dolly, the kid tried snatching it, but since I had military training, STRONGER!, I stopped her,yelled "Mr. Swordsman is okay!", and she said "Protect Mr. Swordsman with all your heart!", her dad apologized for this, saying that his little girl had a tendency to take toys off other kids in public places, Mr. Swordsman wasn't damaged, but my daughter, after she got almost beaten to death left her with PTSD, She would never let Mr. Swordsman go, she will hand it to people, but not giving her it back will trigger this, so her doll is like an Anti-PTSD object, just to prevent another attack)

To Marie, how do you deal with bratty children?

Marie: "I remember one of our pet cats died from a seizure and in January when I was 10, before PTSD, we were staying at a hotel, and I watched a couple episodes of some anime to comfort myself and play some relaxing Korean music, these three boys walked in, I think they were 7, 4, and 3, they said "Lol, you're too old to watch cartoons", I said "What are you doing in my room?", and they were like "Dunno, we're bored", and I said "Isn't it rude to come into people's rooms? Get out!", and they were like "No!", and I was like "Why are you even in here?", and the 3-year old was like "Mommy said it was okay", I was on the verge of searching up creepypasta pictures, and I did and they got scared out of their wits, and ran, 1 hour later, the brat's mom came in, she said (imating mother bad at parenting) "OMG! STAPH SKARING MEH KEEDS! DEI TLD MI BOUT WAT U LUKED UHP, STAPH DOIN DAT R I WIL KAL DA POLEES! (OMG! STOP SCARING MY KIDS! THEY TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT YOU LOOKED UP, STOP DOING THAT OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE!", and I said "No, they were annoying little---", then she cutted me off "DEI DUN NO ANI BETUR! (THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER!)", then I said "When I was there age, I didn't walk-", then she said "Dei r steel jus keeds! I guna kal da polees!" (They're just kids! I'm gonna call the police!)", then I got up and yelled in Korean and Andrew translated "DEAR OVERPROTECTIVE WOMAN! IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBLITY TO MONITOR YOUR OVERDEVELOPED SEMEN STAINS OF 3 CHILDREN, IT'S YOUR JOB, AS A PARENTS TO MONITOR THEM, STOP BEING A PUSSY, GROW UP, AND DO SOME PARENTING, I'M ONLY 10, I MAY WATCH THINGS YOUR BRATS MAY NOT BE SEEING, JUST BECAUSE IT'S ANIMATED DOESN'T MEAN IT'S FOR D*** KIDS!", I then hugged Mr. Swordsman, then the woman took it off me, then I bit her fingers, called my adoptive family in, I told them everything, I hugged Mr. Swordsman, I then sat him on the laptop, and Danny was like "Look, I gave Marie that so she can watch anime in peace and listen to Korean music, she's right, control your kids!", she stormed out and we never saw her again."

To Ri Kon-Yung, did you ever hear about your father?

Ri Kon-Yung: "" (Translation: Him? hm, he was 19 when he died, he was a soldier, and he starved to death, he had difficulty, finding food, his last words were "I'm......i'm so hungry....." he dropped to the weight of a 16-year old and he died during the  Arduous March, he wasn't really that old, he died of starvation after being starved by the famine for 3 months, I never tell Ri Min-Li about the Arduous March, even though she knows about it)

To Ri Kon-Yung, what is your opinion on Ri Dae-Jung, your daughter's Another Genderbent Counterpart

Ri Kon-Yung: "" (Translation: Even though he is related to my daughter, I don't like him very much, he's just sadistic and cruel, He's like a Korean POW guard at a Japanese POW camp, so brutal)

To Marie, why does Ri Dae-Jung like Marvel Cinematic Universe films?

Marie: "They were the first films he watched when he arrived in the TT10, we put on subtitles incase he didn't understand English."

To Marie, what hobbies do your parents have after defecting to South Korea?

Marie: “Dad’s picked up an interest in the Nintendo Switch and video games, he calls it a ‘funny device’ because he doesn’t have the basic concept of a video game console yet, his favorite game to play on it is Pokémon because he likes how bright and cute they are, now, he thinks Ninetales is a Kumiho, which is a nine-tailed Korean fox who eats men’s livers, when he was playing a second hand copy of Pokémon Black 1 and White 2, he thought Ghetsis, the main villain of the games was female because of his long hair and resemblance to N and referred to him as a she until Mom corrected him.”

Park In-hwan: “He’s got a long way to go, I taught him how to cook, he loves KFC, sushi restaurants, McDonalds, Ji-min likes Pepero, My wife is definitely her K-Pop buddy, she likes BTS but her interests range from action films to surprisingly FPS and violent video games, Kon-Yung’s interests are mostly more childlike while Ji-Min’s a bit more rambunctious.”

Park Ki-ok: “One major problem she has is that Ji-Min swears even worse than the DPRK’s news lady, in both English and Korean, she was actually asked to leave a Hanawon class and return to her dorm because she swears so much, her exact words when she found out Kim Jong-un’s mother was half-Japanese was to exclaim “What in the actual fuck!”, she was there for about three months and we told her we’ll take care of her apartment while she and Kon-Yung were taught to adapt to life, the tutor was quite patient with Ji-Min because she has actually serious behavioral problems stemming from being in North Korea and the fact she had to put her daughter up for adoption because she and Kon-Yung at the time were not fit to raise a child.”

To Kon-Yung, What was Hanawon like for you and Ji-Min?

Kon-Yung: “We were there for three months, I got a haircut, Ji-Min was interested in getting streaks in her hair, and looking at baby clothes for her unborn twins, while in the facility, there had to be security guards due to safety concerns, Ji-Min doesn’t like living in a place where she can’t roam freely and didn’t get along with her tutor at first because she saw him as controlling, she actually was asked to leave a class on the Kim family during a lesson to teach us about de-indoctrination because she let out the F-word when she found out Kim Jong-un was quarter Japanese, now she didn’t sound angry, she sounded amazed, the tutor allowed her to come back after an hour and even visited her during break, Learning the South Korean dialect was a bit difficult and I wonder how Min-Li does it but I got the hand of it quickly and so did Ji-Min.”

Park In-hwan: “I got their apartment set while they were there, the tutor became more considerate of her due to her pregnancy and when he was teaching her sex education, he taught her what she should not eat during her pregnancy and helped her get up after she got too heavy to get up by herself.”

To Ki-Ok, how was the new apartment for Ji-Min and Kon-Yung?

Ki-ok: “They loved it, I even got them a room set up for Marie, which Kon-Yung and I set up together after he got back from Hanawon, Ji-Min did have to take it easy due to her pregnancy, two months later, she had the twins, that was her first time in a hospital since she found out she had the appointment to know the gender of her babies.”

To Marie, how do birthdays go in your family?

Marie: “Eomma shares her birthday with Kim Jong-il’s…she has expressed distaste for it because one, her birthday’s on a North Korean national holiday and since this is a country that cares more their leader, she never properly had the chance to celebrate her birthday and her family does NOT care, she actually told me her family cared more about the Kim dynasty than their own family, to this day, she just expects others to celebrate Kim Jong-il on her birthday, Dad’s pretty much the same since he came from a much poorer family, Eomma got confused when Danny sent her a gift in the mail which was a horror film.”
