Secret Agent No 1
"I was in no position to argue if a mission was right or wrong", says Kim Hyon Hui. In 1987, she successfully carried out a mission to blow up a South Korean airliner, killing 115 people. Sentenced to death in Seoul, she was later pardoned by the South Korean government, who decided she was merely a brainwashed victim of the Kim cult. In this exclusive interview, she recounts her journey from a bright teenager, hand-picked by the regime to become a deadly agent, to dealing with a life of guilt. "I regret what I did and I am repentant", says Kim Hyon Hui, who feels it is now her destiny to testify about the "terror perpetrated by North Korea".
