#8  Note that these are PARTY ELITE members and not your average run-of-the mill Koreans. Kind of like Hollywood stars of North Korea. The 'more equal then others' as it were.....

These are the people who have all the food (knowing that the USA will pay to feed the starving millions) while the rest of the country starves.
