Yeonmi Park is a North Korean defector, author, and public figure who has gained international recognition. She escaped North Korea as a teenager in 2007, eventually settling in the United States after time in China and South Korea. Her memoir, "In Order to Live," details her journey and has sold over 100,000 copies.
She is notable for being one of the most prominent North Korean defectors in the world. Park first gained media attention in South Korea and later came to global prominence following a speech at the 2014 One Young World Summit. In the 2020s, she has established a profile as a conservative political commentator in the U.S. through media appearances and her second book.
The term "yop recall" currently appearing in headlines is unrelated to Yeonmi Park. It refers to a recent food safety recall in Canada for YOP brand drinkable yogurt products. News reports indicate the recall was issued due to potential plastic contamination in the items.
