North Korea selected “3,000 court maids” from among 16-year-old attractive girls who had graduated from middle school. Of them, top class maids were assigned to guest houses of its leader Kim Jong-il or other luxury hotels, next in line in beauty were named as agents for anti-South Korean espionage activities in both the ruling Workers Party and the administration. The remainder have been set to work at guest houses under the party, the military or the foreign ministry.
Such agents selected for their beauty have been well trained for anti-South Korean activities at 16 years of age and are positioned at key posts of the party, the government and other anti-South Korean departments, according to poet Jang Jin-seong, who fled the North.
He said that North Korea has allured famous politicians, journalists and scholars in the South and overseas in badger games. They were invited to live in the village at the foot of Mt. Munsu at Dongdaemun Station, Pyongyang, where many mistresses are living with their children.
Most husbands of the mistresses there are renowned figures overseas, he said. “A considerable number of them are surrogate mothers of North Korea.”
The "ssibaji," or surrogate mother, has been North Korean policy for mixed blood with foreigners that Kim Jong-il launched and carried out when he took charge of the anti-South Korea espionage department of the party in the late 1970s, according to Jang.
In earlier days, North Korea kidnapped youths in the countries to enhance the level of espionage activities which can hardly be obtained by training in the North. They were trained and re-sent to their respective countries to fulfill their duties, which has been regarded as a cruel crime.
Later, they believed that it’s not a good approach to espionage activities which have to be done based on the agents’ loyalty to the state. As a result, the surrogate mother system has been adopted in lieu of kidnapping. The children born between the agents and foreigners are actually North Koreans although they look like foreigners.
The North Korean anti-South Korean espionage department has sent a large number of women to foreign countries to make them give birth to mixed blood children by seducing foreigners such as blacks, whites, Arabs and Southeast Asians.
