For a brief time after, my dream career was to lead South Korea’s Ministry of Unification, which deals with inter-Korean affairs. The first time I actually met a North Korean was in 2010, in Vienna of all places. A museum was hosting an exhibition of North Korean art, and I went three times. During my last visit, a man who identified himself as a bureaucrat from North Korea’s culture ministry approached me. The South Korea government blocks many North Korean websites.
