Daily NK <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/more-than-80-percent-expected-university-graduates-dispatched-members-three-revolution-teams\/\">reported<\/a> in 2021 that up to 80% of the country&#8217;s college graduates would serve in Three Revolutions Teams to provide low-cost labor to various enterprises and factories throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the reporting partner, the Three Revolutions Team member is accused of bringing a new USB card to give to the workers every time he returned to the logging camp.
