In May, 2011, a team from Daily NK went to China to do some research into the situation on the ground there. During that process, they took the chance to interview ten North Korean citizens at length. These people came from every walk of life, bringing with them different feelings and emotions about issues as diverse as Kim Jong Un, the market, food aid and the use of drugs. Here, Daily NK presents the full text of their opinions in English.
