By Daily Mail Reporter A former North Korean spy who used to steal sex secrets for Kim Jong-Il has revealed that she now lives on benefits as nobody will employ her thanks to her previous career. Won Jeong-hwa, who now lives in the small town of Gunpo, just south of Seoul in South Korea, has found that her espionage skills are not valued in her adopted country, and she has struggled to hold down waitress or cleaning jobs because employers fire her as soon as they discover her past life. While some former spies find their new life in the South a joy - writing books and speaking about North Korea on television - that is far from the experience Won has had.
