There have been doubts about the truthfulness of this defector for a rather long time. This lengthy article from 2014 goes into some of the inconsistentcies in her stories.

Some highlights from the article.

On her being a reality tv star in South Korea.

Buried in the shows archives are some snapshots of Parks childhood in North Korea that explain why shes known on the show as the Paris Hilton of North Korea. Theyre in sharp contrast to the story shes now telling her international audience.In one episode in early 2013 she appears with her mother. Family photographs are flashed on the screen and Park jokes, Thats my Mum there. Shes beautiful right? To be honest, Im not the Paris Hilton. My mum is the real Paris Hilton. Park then goes on to point out the top and chequered pants her mother is wearing were all imported from Japan and adds, My mum even carried around a Chanel bag in North Korea, to which the host responds incredulously, There are Chanel bags in North Korea? Park tells him there are and he then asks another woman if shed classify Parks family as rich. The woman answers, Yes, thats right.

On how she intends to tell her story

Yeonmi Park is backed by the American Libertarian non-profit organization, Atlas Foundation. Shes one of its Young Voices and has recently started her own foundation based in New York you can donate online through PayPal, but what exactly your money will be used for is not clear. What is clear though, is that Yeonmi is travelling and speaking in 2014 and is available for international speeches.

Now when it is revealed that she has set up her own foundation in New York to receive donations she offers an immediate and dubious explanation

But one very important thing to correct: I do not have a foundation. The website was a dummy site built by a friend, and it was not supposed to be live. There was no way it could accept money, and I havent taken any. I am so sorry for the confusion. The site has been taken down.

That tells me she's full of shit and a grifter the same flavor as a Jimmy Dore or Candice Owens.
Her friend built a dummy site that takes donations but it was never supposed to work.
Please.
You don't have to be Wumao to see this women is a liar and a grifter.
