 During class, several men entered the classroom. They looked around the room and then ordered me to &#8216;stand up. They assess my height and instruct me to come to the principal&#8217;s office in the afternoon. When I got to the principal&#8217;s office, all the female students, who were rumored to be the most beautiful girls in the school, were there.
This is the scene of the selection of the North Korean &#8220;joy squad,&#8221; as announced by Joo Song-ha, a reporter for the South Korean newspaper Dong-a Ilbo and a defector, on his YouTube channel. The &#8220;joy squad&#8221; is a group of mainly women who serve the leaders and officials. The group was established during the reign of Kim Jong-il, but according to Joo, his son Kim Jong-un has also taken over the group.

 &#8220;The &#8216;joyous group&#8217; was selected by the &#8216;Section 5&#8242; of the Central Committee of the Workers&#8217; Party of Korea, but now it seems to be handled by a different department. It was around 1976 that the &#8220;Section 5&#8221; was created. It was created by Kim Jong-il in the name of his father Kim Il-sung&#8217;s longevity. Most of the members of the &#8220;joy squad&#8221; are good-looking women. It is not clear whether they only sing and dance in front of the Kim family and top officials, or whether they also perform sexual services,&#8221; said a reporter from a Korean newspaper.
According to Mr. Joo, the selection process for the &#8220;joy squad&#8221; is unique. According to Mr. Joo, the selection process for the &#8220;joy squad&#8221; is unique. &#8220;Section 5&#8221; personnel visit schools all over the country and scout for beautiful women. Some of them are men who are selected to be assigned to the security forces. Mr. Chu himself was also screened. Mr. Chu explained.
<h2>There were two finalists.</h2>
 The first screening is done at the school to see how they look, and the second screening is done at the county or district hospital to see if they have any infectious diseases. Next is a physical examination at the same level. The next step was a physical examination at the same level, which included a test to see if you were a virgin. There were only about fifty people left to be screened in Pyongyang, the capital, and each person had to fill out a three-page document.
The first page of the document was a photograph of the face and full body, the second page contained information about the applicant&#8217;s background and family, and the third page contained a letter in blood stating that the applicant would be loyal to the general.

 Kim Jong-il read through the entire 150-page booklet for 50 people and selected 10 of them. He would eat with two or three more people at a time and finally select two. The girls would take care of Kim Jong-il&#8217;s personal care, as well as go hunting, swimming, and karaoke together. Some of the women who were rejected in the final screening were kept as mistresses by party officials.
Kim Jong-il is famous for his flamboyant relationships with women, but around 1992, when he was 50 years old, physical problems prevented him from having sexual relations. Kim Jong-il was famous for his flamboyant relationships with women, but around 1992, when he was 50 years old, physical problems prevented him from having sexual relations. The &#8220;pleasure corps&#8221; came to an end in 1994, when two members were selected. However, after Kim Jong-il&#8217;s death, the group is said to have been revived again. Mr. Gao Yongqi, editor-in-chief of Daily NK Japan, who is an expert on the situation on the Korean Peninsula, tells us.
 &#8220;In 2012, the year after Kim Jong-il&#8217;s death, the &#8216;joy squad&#8217; resumed operations. Kim Jong-un put it back into operation. He probably has them drinking and performing sexual services for him.
 The dictatorial leader, whose fate depends on his decisions alone, is under so much pressure that he rarely gets a chance to relax. It seems to be a stress-relieving partner. I guess the reason why they changed from &#8216;Section 5&#8217; to another section is because the existence of the &#8216;pleasure group,&#8217; which is treated as top secret, became known.
The &#8220;joy squad&#8221; provides close support to the leader in various ways. The &#8220;pleasure squad,&#8221; which provides close support to the leader in various ways, plays an important role in the operation of the dictatorship, and is undoubtedly an indispensable part of the Kim family.
