North Korean Olympic cheerleaders ‘used as sex slaves by Kim Jong-un’s twisted regime’
The troupe - dubbed the 'Pleasure Squad' by insiders - are reportedly forced to perform sex acts on party leaders during their trip to the games
TERRIFIED members of the North Korean cheerleading squad are made to have sex with high-ranking members of Kim Jong-un’s twisted regime, according to a disturbing report.
The troupe - dubbed the 'Pleasure Squad' by insiders - are forced to perform sex acts on party leaders during their trips to the Olympics and at home, a defector
“It might seem like a fancy show on the outside [but] they also have to go to parties and provide sexual services,” said defector Lee So Yeon, a military musician who fled the country in 2008.
“They go to the central Politburo party’s events, and have to sleep with the people there, even if they don’t want it.
“Those sorts of human-rights infringements take place, where women have to follow what they are told to do with their bodies.”
The uniformly dressed cheerleaders are reportedly subject to an extreme vetting system based on their looks, family backgrounds and loyalty to the Workers’ Party
They are monitored 24 hours a day by state-appointed minders, even while they eat and go to the toilet.
Yeon’s account of the sexual slavery backs up reports in which female defectors from North Korea have described being “selected” to sexually service members of the political party.
In 2010, defector Mi-hyang claimed she was only 15 years old when soldiers in green uniforms stormed her classroom and chose her to become a sex slave for Kim Jong -il, the father of Kim Jong-un.
Lee Il-nam, a nephew of Kim Jong-un’s father, who defected in 1982, also detailed some of the “Pleasure Squad” parties in a shocking book.
The parties, often held at the tyrant’s official home, included kinky games in which the women were forced to strip and shave their pubic hair, Lee Il-nam wrote in his book 'Kim Jong-il’s Royal Family.'
“The routine at the parties included eating, drinking and dancing, but usually ended with erotic games,” he wrote.
“A favourite was a game in which the losers had to take off clothes one by one. It was enforced, regardless of men or women. If they got heavily drunk, they also played a hair-shaving game.
"If men lost, part of their head hair was shaved, as if it was mown. For women, their pubic hair was shaved.”
When the cheerleaders “retire,” they’re often married off to elite guards and sometimes paid to keep quiet about the regime’s dirty secrets.
The cheerleaders formed the bulk of the Olympic delegation of 280 North Koreans to their neighbour state.
Only girls over five foot three and from good families are allowed to join the “army of beauties”.

Top officials “cherry pick” the most gorgeous girls in the land to join the troop. Kim Jong-un has even taken one for his wife.
They are subjected to intensive training and gruelling workouts by coaches and are also taught how to apply “smoky” eye make-up.
The girls tend to be in their early 20s but can sometimes be even younger, indeed Kim Jong-un’s wife was in the squad when she was just 16.
