President Kim turned out to be James Kim, an evangelical Christian Korean-American, and a quick Internet search brought up interviews with him about a similar college he had set up in the early 1990s in Yanji, China, called Yanbian University of Science and Technology (YUST). In one of the interviews, Kim said that he had raised $10 million from evangelical churches worldwide to construct the school in Pyongyang.
Why did Pyongyang green light this? Just for the money? And despite the “risks” of missionary brainwashing? Guess threats should be enough to keep them at bay...or they figure they could just imprison anyone who catches Christianity?
