Global News Insight speaks to a North Korean refugee who sat alongside South Korea’s president, Moon Jae-in, during the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

At the Winter Olympics opening ceremony a few special volunteers, handpicked by the South Korean government, sat in the VIP section alongside the President Moon Jae-in.

They were brought to the South during the Korean War by American troops, in the largest humanitarian sea convoy in US history.
