Insulting & disrespectful. Also, we should call them escapees since defection connotes being a traitor to your county. north Korea is not "their" country as it only belongs to KJU. They escaped from the most despotic regime in the modern era. They are escapees. Respect them. https://t.co/8EBC943e4V
In Korean, defectors used to be called talbukja (νλΆμ), or literally, “escape-North-people,” i.e., escapees. I once heard tell that talbukja has since been replaced by another, more politically correct term that doesn’t offend the DPRK, but I don’t know what that term is, or even if such talk is correct.
