Other Angels

As I prepare to meet The Little Angels of Korea at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts tonight, a stark reminder of why there need to be little angels (of Korea or anywhere) comes to me by way of Canada's National Post:

"In her youth, Kim Young-soon was a dancer and a member of the North Korean elite who lived a life of calculated caution, surrounded by privilege and propaganda in Pyongyang."

Read more about Kim Young Soon here and here.

A sordid, revealing video from Reuters of life behind that veil (briefly lifted) appears here.

N.B.: On second thought, "other" angels seemed a more appropriate header here.
