F ew political transformations are as dramatic as that of Tae Yong Ho. Until his defection in 2016, he was North Korea’s deputy ambassador in London. A video circulating online shows him earning applause from British fanboys of his country’s despotic regime by predicting that “the future will be of socialism”. Four years later he became the first defector directly elected to South Korea’s parliament. Representing the conservative People’s Power Party ( PPP ), he now predicts that the North Korean regime he once served “will inevitably collapse”.
政治转变与泰阳一样戏剧性。直到2016年叛逆，他还是朝鲜在伦敦的副大使。在网上流传的视频向他展示了他在英国狂热者对本国专制政权的掌声，他预测“未来将是社会主义”。四年后，他成为第一个直接当选韩国议会的叛逃者。他现在代表保守派人民权力党（PPP），现在预测，他曾经服务的朝鲜政权“不可避免地会崩溃”。
