It fell to Fox News to remind Americans that while “some observers continue to fawn over Kim Jong-un’s sister and North Korea’s ‘smile diplomacy,’” the brutal dictatorship is still holding three Americans prisoner.
Fox News Associate Editor Caleb Parke writes:
Concern has only grown for the three Korean-Americans—Kim Hak Song, Kim Dong Chul and Tony Kim—since the death of American college student Otto Warmbier last June after the he spent 17 months locked away in North Korea. And though advocates said they were given some hope during President Trump’s State of the Union address, when the image of a North Korean defector defiantly holding his crutches in the air was met with rapturous applause, there’s also a desire to see continued action and pressure applied against the rogue regime.
“My mom, my brother and I miss our dad so much. We’re so worried about him and his health,” said Sol Kim, whose father, Tony Kim, has been held by North Korea for about nine months.

Whenever I hear of Americans being held captive in NK, I can’t help but wonder what they were doing there. I hope we have some intelligence assets working in NK. But I cannot think of a more dangerous job.
I have no illusion that NK is the residence of evil when it comes to human rights abuses. But what reason could any American citizen have for visiting NK (besides some delegates or approved media types on special occasions). I pray for their safety, but remain open to the possibility that they actually are spies for us. If so, God Bless those heroes.
From 1972 to 1988, I cared (at least a little) about the Olympics. For me, it was a Cold War phenomenon. Would massive East German “women” win the shot put? Would the US get more gold medals than the Commies? Would anyone from the communist bloc try to defect to the West?
After the Soviet Union fell apart, things got less interesting for me. Media coverage became sappy and it was just “Who came from the most disadvantaged background?”
And now all of a sudden we are sort back in a Cold War kind of mood, but this time the US Media is cheering for the North Koreans who starve their people into submission and execute people with pieces of artillery.
NK is the media’s wet dream.
The thought of having the power to cast dissenters into labor camps and dispose of them at will sends them into convulsions of orgasmic rapture.
They fawn because they see the ultimate goal of all “progressives” realized in NK’s torture state.
Too bad she wasn’t there for the Kim Jong Un Lookalike ,LOL

Same here.
I also have started to wonder if anyone has set up an over/under on how long Jong-un's sister will last in NK when she gets back before she has an unfortunate accident with a wood-chipper. That dude is severely paranoid. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be getting any time in the spotlight if I had to go back there.
OK, Fat Boy’s attractive sister attends the Olympics, we got it! We have seen and heard all we need about her, time to move on to something important. Almost as bad as having to constantly hear how global warming is ruining our world. Enough is enough!
And yet, you find her strangely attractive. Why is that?
