Fixer charges $15k for N. Korea trip, interview with Kim Jong Un

Kim Jong Un interview would be first between N. Korean leader and international press since 1994

Update: An AP spokesperson told NK News that they are not involved in Dr. Chayon Kim's trip: "AP entered North Korea on our own, under the same process by which AP journalists regularly access the country, with our bureau in place there."

SEOUL – An exclusive interview with Kim Jong Un was offered to journalists covering Korean War anniversary events in North Korea as part of a 17-day trip organized by the same Korean-American fixer to facilitate Dennis Rodman's Pyongyang visit.
