"Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea" by Barbara Demick is an oral history of North Koreans who managed to settle in South Korea. It's reads as a biography of about a dozen people whom we first meet in the early '90s. The cohort experience the severe North Korean famine of the mid-90s. They then leave North Korea in the late '90s and early 2000s. Demick collected the stories from interviews conducted in South Korea from about 2005 to 2010. Worth the read.
