Kim Jong Un takes time out of his busy schedule to select 25 virgin girls a year to personally entertain him in what a North Korean defector called his “pleasure squad.”

Yeonmi Park, 30, told the Daily Star that officials would “visit every classroom” and “even go to schoolyards in case they missed someone pretty.”

It wasn’t all about attractiveness, however; Park added that the girls’ political loyalty also played a factor on whether they chosen.
Park claimed she was scouted twice for the so-called honour but wasn’t picked in the end because of her “family status.”
She explained “they eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea, or have relatives in South Korea or other countries.”

If given the green light, the next step for the young women is a medical examination to ensure they are, in fact, virgins.
Candidates who move on are then subjected to more invasive tests where even the tiniest defect, like a small scar anywhere on the body, will get them disqualified.
Once only a “handful of girls” are left, they are sent to Pyongyang to see if they make the final cut.
If selected, their “only reason to exist is to please the dictator,” Park said.

She said for many, life in North Korea is so grim that parents welcome their daughters being recruited in the hope they might enjoy a better quality of life.
Park, who fled North Korea for China in 2007 at the age of 13, has amassed more than 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube with her tales of life inside the dictatorship.
She moved to the United States in 2014 and became an American citizen eight years later, even writing a book about her search for freedom in the U.S. after defecting.
Park also mentioned that Jong Un has very specific taste, and opts for women who are “slender,” “taller” and more “western-looking.”

Within the pleasure squad, there are three different divisions, she added.
The first group are trained to massage, the second bunch specialize in entertainment such as singing and dancing, while the third bevy of women make up the “sexual activities division,” and have to not only be intimate with the tubby tyrant but his inner circle as well.
The most beautiful girls are reserved to attend to the dictator essentially as sex slaves, while the less attractive members must cater to the needs of low-ranking generals and politicians.
“They have to learn how to please these men,” Park said. “That’s their only goal.”
