The Gippeumjo (translated variously as "Pleasure Group," "Pleasure Groups," "Pleasure Squad," "Pleasure Brigade," "Joy Brigade," or "Joy Division") is a collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women between the ages of 13 and 40 (although most are believed to be between 18 and 25)
Each "pleasure group" is composed of three "teams":
Manjokjo (hangul: 만족조; hanja: 滿足組) – a "satisfaction team" (which provides sexual services)
Haengbokjo (hangul: 행복조; hanja: 幸福組) – a "happiness team" (which provides massages)
Gamujo (hangul: 가무조; hanja: 歌舞組) – a "dancing and singing team" (whose members are sometimes asked to dance semi-nude)[1][2]
Girls from throughout the country are recruited to be Gippeumjo members according to government criteria (one of which is that they must be virgins). After being selected, they undergo a rigorous training period, with some Haengbokjo members being sent overseas for massage training.[1] Gippeumjo members typically "retire" at age 22 or 25, at which time they are often married to other members of North Korea's elite, and their former membership in the Gippeumjo is kept secret
