Before I defected from North Korea, I never dreamed of giving a speech at Harvard University, the top university in the world. When I was in North Korea, I thought Kim Il-sung University was the best in the world. I didn t know much about the rest of the world, and I couldn t even imagine giving a speech in English at a world-class university.
