North Korea’s Kippumjo is a means of bringing in foreign currency

If you recall the article “7 Things North Korea is Really Good At,” by foreign currency, North Korea is famous for counterfeiting US dollars (supernotes), hacking, smuggling drugs and arms, and organized crimes. North Korea runs a dozen restaurants in Beijing. Apparently there are around a hundred of these all over China. These North Korean restaurants have k-tv or the so-called Karaoke facility. North Korea maintains a pool of beautiful women as the waitress. They are all Kippumjo. They do not just serve food and beverages. According to a North Korean defector, they also offer sexual services for around 700 to 800 dollars. This is evidence that North Korea is forcing women into sexual slavery to bring in foreign currency.
