•LIE 1: Did Yeonmi escape to China with both her parents (Version 1), or was her mother r*ped because her father was absent (Version 2)? pic.twitter.com/5sanGncqnJ

1 – Originally, Yeonmi claimed that her mother, father, sister and herself crossed the border into China, escaping the NK.

Then, the story changed abruptly. Yeonmi began claiming that her father stayed behind to minimize the risk and that her mother was r*ped by a smuggler.

2 – These links are from early 2014, when Yeonmi originally claimed she traveled to China with her entire family.https://t.co/IeysDMMcnp https://t.co/OvbumicGun https://t.co/6GNfsI4EuU https://t.co/kINLsTadS4

Note that she makes it explicitly clear who she traveled with.

3 – These links are from late 2014, when she began telling the false r*pe story, now claiming her father never traveled with them.https://t.co/FZ4VK8i9TL https://t.co/w9H3xZgWt8 https://t.co/FIP145TzSC

4 – Yeonmi can’t even maintain her lies, at times claiming the r*pist was a people smuggler, other times claiming it was a Chinese local.

After her popularity began to rise, Yeonmi switched the story to garner sympathy and attack anti-Western regimes.

3 – Why so many discrepancies, and why can she not remember such important details, such as the location of the execution?

The execution story is one of Yeonmi’s defining stories, reciting it often. However, she can’t even get the details straight.

4 – Multiple interviews regarding the execution, none of which have the same corresponding details.https://t.co/w9H3xZgWt8 https://t.co/VYie3aXI6q https://t.co/FIP145TzSC https://t.co/xYXPmHQNGI

•LIE 3: Did Yeonmi Park witness starvation and/or was she forced to eat grass to survive? pic.twitter.com/YQS7zKe5Pv

— 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 (@brxndtwiggins) May 12, 2023

1 – Yeonmi tells two versions of this story.

Version 1: She never witnessed any starvation and was not forced to eat grass.

Version 2: She witnessed people eating grass and bugs. Yeonmi also ate grass and bugs.

3 – Yeonmi Park also tends to accompany this story with fantastical tales of “dead bodies in rivers” and “pushing trains to get to work.” All of these claims have, of course, been rebuked by experts.https://t.co/Dbx7JEkD65

— 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 (@brxndtwiggins) May 12, 2023

4 – Yeonmi has routinely lied about her family’s wealth in North Korea, with it being well known her family was wealthy, and lived lavishly.

Below are two links where Yeonmi tells two opposing stories regarding wealth:https://t.co/44YLk8BjPn https://t.co/CZ5FAL5CjF

•CONCLUSION: Aside from this thread, there are 20+ blatant lies/discrepancies in Yeonmi’s story. And that’s without even beginning to talk about her embellished claims regarding the current state of NK.

For a full rundown, see below:https://t.co/JUKQnLEY5q

1 – As I’ve previously made aware, (see thread below) Yeonmi Park is a deceitful liar, working hand in hand with Western governments to destabilize illiberal regimes. https://t.co/CfXWLjUKaz

— 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 (@brxndtwiggins) May 12, 2023

2 – This thread serves to provide CONCRETE and undeniable evidence of her grift.

Yeonmi Park has pedaled off the support of human rights activists for too long, using BLATANT lies to defend her interventionist and pro-Western positions. pic.twitter.com/1hd4QBUx9R

— 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 (@brxndtwiggins) May 12, 2023

3 – And while there is no shortage of interviewer willing to host her for a few extra views, the goal is to at least begin to dent her reputation. pic.twitter.com/o8HUHoMCg9

— 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 (@brxndtwiggins) May 12, 2023

4 – This is most important among conservative activist groups, as Yeonmi Park has slowly creeped her way into youth-led organizations like TPUSA.

Her collaboration with TPUSA should be a MAJOR warning bell for right-wing creators alike. https://t.co/IHEyY1XIHA

5 – Ultimately, I will continue to update this thread as I see fit. Use this as a basis for your arguments against Yeonmi Park, and to call out her baseless accusations.

Yeonmi Park is a Western-backed foreign agent, operating with the sole intent to destroy its opposition. 💯
