The North Korean Plastic Surgery Honey Trap
pg. 315-316
After all, in case nature had been in any way deficient, these were women who had access to the high-level 915 Hospital, staffed with plastic surgeons. (Doctors at 915 also operated on spies who were in need of disguise, according to an ex-spy, Ahn Myung-jin, who told me about the hospital.)pg. 328
Choi met a Chinese woman who had been kidnapped to work as a language teacher and learned from her that the spies employed in such operations must be good-looking. A handsome spy, pretending to be rich, could easily pick up a targeted female victim. If a spy's natural endowments were insufficient, the plastic surgeons stood ready to perfect what nature had wrought. Choi learned that "there was a special hospital for Kim Il-sung, his family and high officials. There were always soldiers there."http://books.google.ca/books?id=qoZx6hOCNukC

South Korean Teens Buy Dreams Of Beauty In Plastic Alley
"Koreans want it all," says Dr. Ing Gon Kim, owner of the Apkujung Feel Aesthetic Clinic and one of Seoul's best-qualified plastic surgeons.
"Koreans are born with small eyes, wide and flat faces, and flat, low noses," says Kim. "What they would like are larger eyes, narrower and more oval-shaped faces, and higher and narrower noses."

Eyelid Surgery a Restaurant Must
It has been belatedly revealed that since the start of the 2000s, young women working in North Korean restaurants both in Pyongyang and abroad have been required to have double eyelid surgery.
A source with a long history of visits to Pyongyang explained to The Daily NK yesterday, “When I was in Pyongyang last year, I heard from someone related to the North that since the start of the 2000s all waitresses had double eyelid surgery on Kim Jong Il’s instructions,” and added, “It seems that Kim Jong Il places great importance on the appearance of workers in restaurants earning foreign currency.”
According to the source, the target of Kim Jong Il’s requirements includes workers at restaurants within Pyongyang fraternized by foreigners, including Korean and international restaurants in the Yanggakdo and Koryo Hotels, coffee shops and other shops.

North Korea’s Overseas Restaurants Used for Espionage and Gaining Hard Currency
Many of the restaurants feature a traditional cold noodle dish and include song and dance numbers by North Korean waitresses and singers who intelligence officials say are also trained in the black arts of intelligence seduction.
Defectors say waitresses at the eateries are trained in intelligence gathering with an emphasis on prying corporate secrets from business travelers.
However, North Korea expert Alexandre Mansourov said North Korean restaurants are less important as sources of foreign cash than their role in sub-rosa intelligence and other operations.
Mansourov said: “One can’t ignore the fact that some of the remaining food outlets often serve as local bases of operations for North Korean operatives of all stripes engaged in all sorts of missions in the countries in question.”

Beware of sexy waitresses in North Korean restraurants - they may be spies?
No doubt that with North Korean restaurants popping up all over China, Asia and the United States it could pose a problem for some patrons who have secrets if they are not careful in what they do or what they say in such places.
Seduction is a classic technique in the spy game, said one CIA spy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “If you get caught in a honey trap you could be vulnerable to blackmail or possible recruitment by the hostile intelligence service later on”, he said.
Best words of advice in this case is beware of sexy women who flirt with you and seem to take an extraordinary interest in you at restaurants and bars that serve North Korean delicacies, especially if you're married, work for the military or a company that has defense ties.

North’s cheerleaders toe treacherous line
In Pyongyang, hundreds of attractive young girls are now being subjected to a vigorous cheerleading program in preparation for their performance at the upcoming Asian Games in Incheon.
Mostly in their 20s, the girls in this camp allegedly learn how to dance in unison, cheer gracefully, walk like true ladies, dress themselves and apply makeup. They’re even educated on how to properly converse with people from the outside world.
In a sense, their training is just like that of their Southern counterparts in the Miss Korea beauty competition.
Kim Jong-un allegedly ordered his officials to select girls “who look attractive based on South Korean standards.”
On top of grueling workouts, the cheerleaders are also learning how to apply smoky eye makeup, which was previously banned, and some have even been forced to have plastic surgery, including double-eyelid operations and Botox injections.
Plastic surgery is even offered to some of the privileged for free if authorities believe it to be necessary and beneficial to the Communist regime.
The Ministry of State Security, the regime’s top spy agency, selects the cheerleaders and has officials thoroughly investigate their family backgrounds.
Some parents were told that their daughters were tentatively chosen - though the girls would have to obtain plastic surgery before securing a final spot.
Several years ago, when this JoongAng Ilbo reporter visited Pyongyang, a female assistant at the Pyongyang Koryo Hotel admitted that “those in charge of greeting guests from the South or other countries at restaurants that serve international cuisine, or workers in charge of international business services, can receive plastic surgery free of charge.”
Since former cheerleader Ri Sol-ju became the first lady of the regime, more parents have seen it as an opportunity for their children to “move up” in the social hierarchy.
While they stay in South Korea, they should always be under the surveillance of officials from the Ministry of State Security, they added.
They should also report their conversations with any South Korean during their stay, and have one-hour daily meetings with officials to reflect on their daily actions as well as report their observations concerning fellow cheerleaders.
“The girls are [likely] trying to make their faces and skin color appear whiter [to look prettier,]” another intelligence official in Seoul said in response.

Honeytrap: ‘Dear Leader’ author claims North Korea used female spies to control businessmen, politicians
0:16 - 1:14
Yet, Jang Jin-sung, author of the memoir ‘Dear Leader’, claims that the North Korean regime hasn’t been as belligerently blind about its international neighbors and has, in its own way, attempted to control the activities of visiting foreign politicians, journalists, and businessmen.
According to Jang, North Korea’s ‘honeytrap’ plan, established by former leader Kim Jong-Il, was established to set up foreign dignitaries with female spies posing as translators or aides. Their job was to sleep with such men and become pregnant. Many of the men returned home and then received a phone call informing them that their North Korean lover had become pregnant.
The idea was that North Korean regime would then be able to emotionally blackmail the victims, compelling the men to hold an interest in North Korea’s future plight. Politicians caught in the honeytrap would then have an interest to protect and support North Korea in their own countries or at the UN. Entrapped journalists would have an incentive to write positive articles and reviews about the country and businessmen would invest money into the country’s crippled economy.
The children of these unions would then be raised and indoctrinated with North Korean ideology, before being sent abroad as spies or to lure other powerful men into protecting North Korea.
