Kenneth Bae described to CNN the hard labor and verbal torment he endured as the longest-held U.S. citizen detained in North Korea since the Korean War.
The South Korean-born U.S. citizen also thanked Dennis Rodman for a 2014 outburst about Bae, saying the basketball star's highly publicized rant drew attention to Bae's plight.
"I thank Dennis Rodman for being a catalyst for my release," Bae said in his first live interview since his release.
