You want us to do what? - the couple had been kidnapped and forced to live in North Korea for years before they found out the truth. The wife was a former beloved movie actress. The husband was an award-winning film director. And now North Korea had kidnapped them to make movies for Kim Jong Il. It sounds like a fictional story - but it was very much real. And the couple’s lives depended on how good of a movie they could make. (Please listen to Part 1 before this episode!) Book Rec: “A Kim Jong Il Production” - by Paul Fischer (Even my Korean parents who grew up with this case on the news learned so much from this book! 10/10) Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com

About The Show

Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for you. Welcome to Rotten Mango but don’t worry it all comes with a seasoning of comedy/sweetness.
