It appears she essentially works for the Libertarian activist organization 'The Atlas Project', who have her all over media. I've run across her videos many times on youtube. The article I link say that other North Korean activists are very concerned about her as harming their cause because honesty is very important to them.
If one grows up in a place like DPRK, I'd imagine one is easy prey for "professionals".
The best course of action for a person who escapes North Korea is to just LIVE amongst a wide variety of people, liberal, conservative and all points in between.
The worst course of action would be to exclusively fly under the wing of ANY "organization" and I do not care if it's a libertarian, liberal or conservative "organization".
Just ****ing LIVE.
I make this observation thanks to MY OWN six year tenure as camera and editor at American-Russian Television in West Hollywood. We served the Los Angeles Soviet diaspora and I encountered plenty of new arrivals, some of whom were immediately "taken under the wing" of this or that "well meaning organization"....
The case that springs to mind the most was
Larisa Eryomina.
If she looks vaguely like a well known American actress, it's because she heard it every single day...Shelley Long from "Cheers".
She finally MET Shelley Long and they got along famously and it looked for all the world like a bright path forward lay before the both of them.
Andrei Konchalovsky, who had worked with her in the USSR, was so charmed by the two of them together that he declared he was
very interested in taking a first stab at a COMEDY film, which later became "Tango & Cash"...but his original idea was to do a FEMALE comedy buddy film.
So what happened? Ms. Eryomina was lured away by a Russian attorney, Boris Gorbis, who convinced her that she might be falling in with a dangerous communistic element in Hollywood which might jeopardize her immigration status in America.
Gorbis' fraud was exposed but she never got over losing the chance to star alongside Shelley Long in a Konchalovsky film.
The fallout was epic, and it cost her the acting career she wanted to bring with her to the USA.
She is a retired housewife in West L.A., living on memories.
