Welcome

First of all, congrats on joining Farcast. 
I find it interesting that you are an expert on North Korea. 

There is an employee at my company who escaped from North Korea and resides in South Korea. 
While talking with her friend, the youngest aunt in North Korea is still there. 

But she says she doesn't want to escape to South Korea. 
Because her relatives in South Korea send her a lot of money. 
But when I asked her how she would transfer the money, she and her relatives in South Korea made a video call and sent the money to the broker. 

I didn't understand so much. 
How does the broker contact her and even connect her to video calls? I'm so curious. 

I didn't ask her because I thought it would be rude to ask her in too much detail. 
I'm glad I took this opportunity to ask you. 

How can she connect me to a video call with a person in South Korea?

Many defectors, like your colleagues, leave behind family and loved ones. They may use the trafficking network they used before to escape, or another broker they hear about through the defector community, to send money back to the North.

It works like this: Lee escapes to South Korea thanks to Chen’s help. Lee sends Chen 50% of their resettlement money, plus another 10% they want Chen to get to their family in North Korea. Chen takes another 40% off this 10% for the risk. Chen uses his cut to either/or 1) pay off security guards at the DPRK-China border 2) sneak into North Korea 3) pay someone else to sneak across the border with the cash.

If your colleague’s family lives close enough to the Chinese border they may have a Chinese smartphone that connects to Chinese mobile networks. But it’s incredibly risky – North Korea will execute people for having any contact with South Koreans, and imprison them in concentration camps for consuming any sort of foreign media.

wow, that's intense. much respect for those risking it all to support their families back home. hope one day they won't need to go through all this. 🌍💔
