Brokers in North Korea?
When watching this movie, I was surprised to see there was a woman playing a role of a kind of broker. She bribed some guards to get Joon out of the re-education camp (prison) and to get him across the border into China. I know a little about North Korea after reading some books and watching some documentaries, but I've never heard of these kind of brokers.
Do these kind of brokers also exist in real life in North Korea? And if so, where can I find more information about them?
