North Korea Once Kidnapped A Movie Star

In 1978, film buff and future North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il (who's dad was in charge at the time) decided he wanted to make a really good movie. And he decided he needed the BEST film stars for it, so he kidnapped South Korean actor Choi Eun-hee and her ex-husband, director Shin Sang-ok. He kept them in North Korea for several years, forcing them to make movies, including his very own version of Godzilla, Pulgasari. They only escaped in 1986, during a press conference in Vienna!
