Not really, considering many are paid to tell tall tales, and they left because they were biased.

Just like the Iranian diaspora chuds who were cheering the mass murder of children in their “homeland” are also wholly unbiased, totally and completely free of any distortion, leaning, or parti pri, right? No, the people who bailed from their country are going to be the most biased. Not to mention there is an entire industry built around paying defectors to say bad things about the DPRK and that they even try to out-do one another on how extreme their stories are. See Yeonmi Park While you’re at it, see: What’s the Deal with Defectors? or Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul edit: Some more from a Dessalines comment: Is north korea a totalitarian dictatorship? Are they all really required to get the same haircut? A short documentary. South Korea boosts reward for defectors to $860k USD. Are north korean defectors really paid to lie by the south? A short documentary. What is everyday life like? A conversation with a North Korean Citizen.
