The brothers spoke about their love for North Korea, Kim Jung Un, and the United States as “the enemy”.

Their answers to the question, “What are your personal dreams?“, sounded much like something out of North Korean textbooks.
Hong Soon Chul: This is my most precious dream. I want to repay my debts to the most honorable leader, Kim Jung Un.
Hong Chul: My life goal and purpose is to protect the comrade supreme commander.
