Marjan asked:

I've heard the story is completely a lie...to become famous.Is it true?

Ellen It's probably not a complete lie. There are some parts to his story that correlate with what verified North Koreans have said in their accounts, despite coming from different areas and having no connection to each other. Some of his stories also match up with satellite imagery, so we can know that there are bits and pieces of truth throughout. However, he did go back on several of his statements, which then calls into question the rest of his narrative.
