While the inspectors were nominally checking all the unit\u2019s families, they actually focused their inquiries into the family of a forty-something man surnamed Kim (a pseudonym), a driver for a coal mining company. That led the neighbors to surmise the inspectors were deliberately targeting Kim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was understood that Kim was earning money by doing business in Rason and the other areas he visited, but nobody knew for sure what kind of business he was doing. Whenever he would return from one of his business trips, which typically lasted for a week or two, his car would be full of rice, meat, or used clothing and other everyday items,\u201d the source explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inspectors decided to target Kim because they found it suspicious that his family always had ample food and goods when everyone else was struggling. Given the likelihood that Kim had used his government-provided vehicle to engage in illegal dealings, most neighbors expected he would be punished.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>A curious turn of events<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But contrary to those expectations, the inspectors did not find any issues, and Kim resumed his everyday life without being punished, as if nothing had happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn the second day of the inspection, the team of inspectors was treated to a sumptuous meal at Kim\u2019s house and remained there until late in the afternoon. People are whispering that the inspectors had never meant to prosecute Kim but had launched their inspection as a way to shake him down for money &#8211; and that\u2019s apparently how things actually went down,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neighbors have noticed that since the inspection, Kim\u2019s wife has been unusually attentive to a sixty-something woman surnamed Cho (a pseudonym) who lives next door, dropping by Cho\u2019s house everyday with something to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That has led neighbors to suspect Cho was the one who tipped off the authorities. The neighbors have reason to think that Kim\u2019s wife is taking such good care of Cho because the inspectors let the family know she was the informant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCho was furious because she\u2019d gotten caught making moonshine a few months back and all her booze and bootlegging equipment were confiscated. It\u2019s likely she told the authorities about her prosperous neighbors out of jealousy. Regardless, the neighbors think it\u2019s wise [of the Kim family] to butter up the informant instead of picking a fight with her,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Daily NK works with a network of sources living in North Korea, China, and elsewhere.
