Drew, People, who goes to North Korea they are not allowed to see the reality of North Korean and Korea. Whatever we know with social media. One thing for sure, Kim Jong-Un is not good and people are suffering. I saw same conditions in Libya , while working in 2001. People were not allowed to go out of country, they had no idea about outside world.
@@haris9481 I have left Libya in 2003. I have no idea at all. I heard and watched in Social media that it’s worse now. In 2001-2003 I was there and everything was good, people were good and co-operative.
Thoughts on DPRK? Probably the next regime that needs to be addressed ha. There's no reason a dictator should treat a country full of people like that.. and to think she wasn't treated much better on either side of the border is equally sad
Freedom, at the same time, have a cost to it. There must be a balace between freedom and communism. USA is a example of when there is too much freedom. I think Singapore should be the model country in this case.
Wow her ability to converse in English improved tremendously. Very far from her 2014 speech. She's now speaking in a natural way. So glad she has a fighting spirit to live and learn.
As if that’s the only way to justify her existence and validation. No one needs to speak English in a “natural” way to get their point across. She got into Columbia in NY with her “unnatural” way of speaking English so.
@@fomosexual op is just saying her english has improved and it's very impressive - learning any language is difficult, but english is perhaps one of the most difficult languages to learn. her english back then was still fine and allowed her to get her point across as well.
UA-cam posters "Yoel And Mari," Yoel is from Cuba, he learned English by watching US television. BTW you guys should watch a few of their postings, you will develop a whole new appreciation for what we have in the USA.
As a refugee myself who walked almost a month to escape for freedom, I must say how thankful we are for those countries that allow refugees to start again. 🌸
I’ve watched many of her speeches and interviews and what always hits me is when she says “People always say I was so brave for crossing to China. And I have tell them I wasn’t brave, I was just starving to death!”
Yeh she said the pain of starvation is worse than being raped. She actually said she’d rather be raped than go through the pain of severe starvation again. Can you imagine that being in that much physical pain from starving you’d rather be attacked and raped? I can’t even work that out.
I watch all of Yeonmi’s videos. She has a way of telling her stories that make me feel her pain. It breaks my heart thinking about all of the people still living in that hell. Every time I watch her videos I wish I could reach through the screen and hug her.
Look up yeonmi Park exposed or yeonmi Park lies. Her story changes frequently and she's regularly caught lying. Her story is greatly exaggerated. There's multiple versions of her story and the sex work one is only one of her many versions. Not saying life in North Korea is not hard. But I am saying that yeonmi Park is a liar who's using an exaggerated version of her experience to lie and make money.
I'm sure ur right but its more of lies mixed in truth. Most people I see that call her out believe NK propaganda. Not saying u do but that does say something.
@@Yomamadrunk she’s a straight up liar, I feel bad for her, but she was in the top 1% of elite lifestyle, and couldn’t believe other defectors were from the same country, she’s a liar, using NK for internet clout and money.
When she started saying the price they sold them for, I started crying. How can someone do this to a human being... selling them? This is made me so sad.
I'm Chinese and this is still happening here every day, despite how terrible the situation is the government is still not willing to do more, ppl prefer male kids so they abandon girls or kill them right after they are born, which leads to 30M more men than women, and what's the solution? stop killing girls? no, they chose human trafficking, this country is hopeless
Her story was terrifying but she has turned it into such an inspiring thing. So much respect to her. And her love of America is more than some people I know have. She is an example of what being American is all about.
Look, she was saved by a miracle of God, through missionaries...meanwhile, nothing better goes for her peoples no mater what she does as an human rights activist...maybe this should ring a bell ???
@@thethirdtime9168 like what? I propose to american single women to go ask nk men for marriage from mr kim...but hey, china gives 100k usd reward for catching one who escapes...instead of blaming others for doing nothing maybe you should come with an ideea that brings results...if you can...and have nothing else to do...because some peoples are strugling to survive even in rich and free countries...

It is amazing to learnt that she came a truly long way from not getting educated from young to a university graduate and fluently spoken with love and passion. An ultimate example for quitters!!

I've read her book "In Order to Live". Try to get a copy because it's a must read. The kind of atrocities done by the hermit kingdom, North Korea is unimaginable. We are extremely lucky to have not been born there.
@@drewbinsky Drew how dare you, you glorified NK said nothing but GOOD THINGS! You NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT NK!! Everyday she was living through an atrocity as well as well as millions of people dead an alive have been living through this atrocity up until current and future of the NK people whom DONT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE BEING OPPRESSED
This is the best interview I have seen with her. She is an incredible inspiration. I had no idea Yeonmi Park lived in Chicago and I've been an IL resident my whole life, super cool! I also find it super cool that you interviewed her with the Regis hotel behind her (the tallest building in the world designed by a female architect)
Holy Crap, The end of this interview was freaking nuts. Its so sad the division that is happening in our country, and when the NK Defector says the US is beginning to have similarities you know something is wrong. Everyone should hear this!
Who decide who is committing hate crime? In N korea they say every problem is because of US imperialism, and in the US they say everything is caused by the white men! America is doing a shit job in educating the young.
@@thesampsoninstitute really because someone who has lived in both, much unlike you, says differently, that there IS starting to be similarities, on the next episode on how to spot a commie liberal 😂
@@kristiemansfield you speak like that n I’ll believe you if you are North Korean or ever lived in that country for many years . If not , don’t judge other if you don’t like people judge you . That’s simple , right ?
I just finished reading her book. This interview only touched the surface compared to what she went thru… she is the epitome of resilience. Highly recommend her book. Thank you for the way you handled this interview.
“I sacrifice myself for my family” That hit hard, I can relate but not on that level. I had to do some bad shit when I was younger and almost got killed to spare my family/ex. But no where on this level man. She is strong as fuck.
What an inspirational and wise young lady. Thank you Yeonmi for sharing your story and thoughts. And thank you Drew for arranging this important interview.
Chills were running up and down my spine when she was comparing the current state of America to North Korea. The fact she is worried about it absolutely terrifies me. It is a kick in the shorts for sure.
i always wonder then, how come you dont see that yourself, and i see some same things develop in europe, the populists are gaining power thought telling lies.
You're absolutely right, felt a punch to the gut when she said that, mostly because I think it's true. We as Americans are living in dangerous times, when all our rights and liberties are at stake and most of us don't even know it, do we need a repeat of history to realize this? Wake up America, get your head out of your apps.
It’s been happening around the world. Since the pandemic of covid 19, it has gotten worst and worst. I live in Australia, and I have seen this happening here. My parents live in Brazil, and it's happening there! So the government is the biggest censorship ever. Express yourself become hate speech as is somebody has to approve what can you think or feel. Then you got the agenda of gender / racial segregation.... It's a complicated life nowadays
I'm glad she said it in this and other videos but to me it's been pretty obvious for some time now. The current left, particularly the young left, clearly don't believe in free speech.
Yeonmi is one of the strongest people I've ever heard of. Unbelievable strength. Humbled and heart broken by her story. Love her comments on American society. Love her honesty. #Truth #Honesty #Hero #KoreanStrength #HumanStrength #YeonmiPark
One of the best 25 minutes i've spent in my life. Is always a pleasure to listen to Yeonmi Park, she knows what's shes talking about and more people should listen to her.
I watch Yeonmi's videos a lot. But in this video you've brought out her inner self without her carefully prepared format. This was breathtaking to listen to, so animated, so focused. Thank you. This lady is more of an American than so many who were born here, because she doesn't ignore, and SEES the damage that our petty divisions can, and do, bring. She has suffered things that most cannot imagine, let alone survive. I am grateful that she is here to speak boldly about problems that we are so willing to ignore while we head to get coffee.
Her love for America is more patriotic & more wholesome than many people who lived their entire lives in the US. I adore her! I really hope we don't let her down.
Nobody will start the nuclear war to save nk people from dying of starvation...realistic talking..If CHINA is the key, as she said, she must be a dreamer...lets hope a lucky one twice...who knows?
As a veteran, it made me cry. I am probably much older than most here but I hope the younger generations can find the love for their fellow man that Yeomni found here.
I was disappointed to see Ms. Park was on Fox News with Tucker Carlson. Fox News Is just fascist right wing Republican propaganda. Same mindless crap as North Korea.
She has such a strong mental and goal in life. She's beautiful and I'm glad she made it to tell us all she said it in this video. I wish you a long life to do everything you couldn't do before! May God help you!
This testimony is really heartfelt. I'm really glad she made it, and she is right if you were born in the USA you should be very proud because after having lived here for over 25 years, there is not a place in the world I wish to be but here. Love the people, culture, and everything in it. I even tell people sometimes that I was born in the wrong place lol.
Thank you for sharing this blog , her story was so touching and my outmost admiration for this very talented brave woman who endured hardship and struggles and I wish she would achieve all her dreams and desire she wanted in her life .
Thank you for this video. She is incredible. She has such strength, compassion and intelligence. Remarkable woman. Every human needs to hear this. Praying for freedom and humanity for all! ❤️
I am truly inspired by this young lady. The wisdom that comes from her short life is inspiring. Her statement "Freedom needs discipline and responsibility like a virture" should be at the entrance of every school in America, if "Freedom" is to endure.
@@TheBadbucky she's probably not lying, the past interviews she had were when she didn't speak the best English, she's said this before. How do you know she's lying?
Would love to hear the two of you talk about your trip to North Korea a few years ago. What a great interview. So glad yeonmi made it out of north korea and is doing so great now.
Hats off to this girl she has seen such tough time yet that smile on her face melt my heart , this is called true love for life no matter what we are going through never give up or lose hope
Excellent. I agree that we have to keep up the fight to have our freedom. Division, fear and distrust is a downhill slope in my opinion. Thanks to her speaking up.
she is so brave and not to mention absolutely gorgeous I love her so much it sucks that she had go through all of this im so happy that she gets to have freedom I want her to have more because she deserves it
I love Yeonmis story. I subbed to her channel. Try to escape from a isolated country is a very difficult goal, dream, or a decision. Park's English is fantastic, her voice is very beautiful. Also as a Chicagoan myself, I'm proud of her for choosing to move to Chicago. She didn't choose something freaking obvious like New York, Chicago is the great option since it has friendly people, lakes, beautiful unabundant buildings, and the best US city ever. Also, the background shot here is fantastic, you got St. Regis and Aon perfectly. I cried mostly throughout the story. And her words, honestly, and description is beautiful, just beautiful. I'm proud of you Drew for meeting this woman who has a true emotional backstory. Keep up the great work for the both of you 👍🌎
Thank you so much Drew for this interview! What I particularly appreciate here is that you put aside your hate towards politics and you asked her also about it. It probably was uncomfortable for you but necessary for this interview.
I watch yeonmi’s channel but this was a different and amazing perspective of her story. You showcased her purpose in a way I have not seen before, despite watching hours of her videos. I hope you and she are both able to reach even more people.
What a very humbling and inspiring story... It's with heavy heart to know the horrendous things that other human being experience.. make me more thankfull for what I have in life. Wishing you all the best in life.
Thank you Drew for sharing this with us. Amazing that a young lady who has seen more than any daughter should is one to remind us all about freedom! Maybe if we spend more time listening to her message instead of worrying about what thundieberg says we can move forward. It won't matter how clean the air is if we're not free to breathe it!
She is so inspiring. It is amazing how she has such an accurate picture what is going on in America. I appreciate her courage to stand up for what she believes in to try to fight for freedom around the world. It was a privilege to listen to her experience, and what she has to say.
Drew never stops surprising us, such a warm hearted guy who cares for others and humanity in general 👍❤️ I like Yeonmi very much, of course I am a subscriber of her channel. This was an eye opening video, even though we know the story. 💕 Being human is much more than just a word 🙏
Thank you Drew. As the creator of this content you had the power and ability to edit as you pleased. You chose to allow her to share an incredibly powerful message to the American people and I for one am extremely grateful. Her closing words and statements are profound and I believe what she is saying needs to be heard by us all. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and a beautiful message to share.
She is truly an amazing woman. Very few can say they have experienced what she has but she still cut through the lies and found truth. I’ve been a fan of hers for awhile. If she ever comes to Oklahoma my family and I are happy to show her an Okie life and learn from her also.👍👍
This is incredible.. i am a year late to see this but by golly this young lady has some powerful messages for the world... I am awed by your strength and your wisdom ❤ Thank you both for this wonderful piece
. Thank you for posting her ordeal. Firstly, It was heart-wrenching to realize how innocent she was and could be put through that terror. But, it is so good that she is so clear minded and has found her purpose. Thank you Drew. I did not know about her. She is inspiring.
Thank you for your interview with Ms. Park. She is brilliant and an American treasure reminding us why this nation is so important to the rest of the world. We cannot let our light fade.
What are your thoughts on North Korea? Would love to hear from you. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

This beautiful, young lady is a very brave person. I watch the videos on her UA-cam channel. She is very sweet and kind.
That is one mentally strong woman 🔥What a great message and insight she's uncovered through her struggles and experiences
I've read her book "In Order to Live". Try to get a copy because it's a must read. The kind of atrocities done by the hermit kingdom, North Korea is unimaginable. We are extremely lucky to have not been born there.
Exactly... and China is not far behind
Thanx God Almighty Allmerciful
@@lc5929 agree 💯
Where can I get the book.
@@JavelinX8 It's available on Amazon
THANK YOU for spreading her message, and supporting her. She is brilliant. Every human needs to hear this. I’m sending you both all my love❤️
Nice good 👍
❤️❤️
She actually lies about a lot of stuff
She’s a grifter looking for $$$
@@drewbinsky Drew how dare you, you glorified NK said nothing but GOOD THINGS! You NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT NK!! Everyday she was living through an atrocity as well as well as millions of people dead an alive have been living through this atrocity up until current and future of the NK people whom DONT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE BEING OPPRESSED
This is the best interview I have seen with her. She is an incredible inspiration. I had no idea Yeonmi Park lived in Chicago and I've been an IL resident my whole life, super cool! I also find it super cool that you interviewed her with the Regis hotel behind her (the tallest building in the world designed by a female architect)
her words are so touching! and she is so intelligent!!
Holy Crap, The end of this interview was freaking nuts. Its so sad the division that is happening in our country, and when the NK Defector says the US is beginning to have similarities you know something is wrong. Everyone should hear this!
Agree. (In the US, it's all white people's fault. BLMs.So that's how Biden works, not about the truth )Bull crap always push out the good.
Who decide who is committing hate crime? In N korea they say every problem is because of US imperialism, and in the US they say everything is caused by the white men! America is doing a shit job in educating the young.
Europe is in the same shit. Greed driving
There are precisely zero similarities between North Korea and the US.
@@thesampsoninstitute really because someone who has lived in both, much unlike you, says differently, that there IS starting to be similarities, on the next episode on how to spot a commie liberal 😂
What an insane story!!
I know right n her speech is powerful . She could be good leader , she has strong personality and big dream and that’s why she survived
Shes a liar
@@yellow01umrella would you like one way ticket to North Korea ? Make sure don’t come back till you experience yourself . !!!
Because it’s not true.
@@kristiemansfield you speak like that n I’ll believe you if you are North Korean or ever lived in that country for many years . If not , don’t judge other if you don’t like people judge you . That’s simple , right ?
What an incredible young lady. Respect to her. Thank you for bringing this vlog.
I just finished reading her book. This interview only touched the surface compared to what she went thru… she is the epitome of resilience. Highly recommend her book.
Thank you for the way you handled this interview.
“Freedom needs discipline, needs responsibility, needs virtue.” Perfectly said.
Very insightful and wise words
“I sacrifice myself for my family”
That hit hard, I can relate but not on that level. I had to do some bad shit when I was younger and almost got killed to spare my family/ex. But no where on this level man.
She is strong as fuck.
I hope your okay today
I read Yeonmi’s first book 📖, amazing to see her free and in America 🇺🇸. She deserves all the happiness in the world !
What an inspirational and wise young lady. Thank you Yeonmi for sharing your story and thoughts. And thank you Drew for arranging this important interview.
Chills were running up and down my spine when she was comparing the current state of America to North Korea. The fact she is worried about it absolutely terrifies me. It is a kick in the shorts for sure.
i always wonder then, how come you dont see that yourself, and i see some same things develop in europe, the populists are
gaining power thought telling lies.
You're absolutely right, felt a punch to the gut when she said that, mostly because I think it's true. We as Americans are living in dangerous times, when all our rights and liberties are at stake and most of us don't even know it, do we need a repeat of history to realize this? Wake up America, get your head out of your apps.
It’s been happening around the world. Since the pandemic of covid 19, it has gotten worst and worst. I live in Australia, and I have seen this happening here. My parents live in Brazil, and it's happening there! So the government is the biggest censorship ever. Express yourself become hate speech as is somebody has to approve what can you think or feel. Then you got the agenda of gender / racial segregation.... It's a complicated life nowadays
I'm glad she said it in this and other videos but to me it's been pretty obvious for some time now. The current left, particularly the young left, clearly don't believe in free speech.
It’s amazing that it takes someone who lived in utter oppression and terror to tell us how we are becoming more like those horrible nations.
Sending love and support to Yeonmi! Please come to London and give the people here a speech on freedom!
Yeonmi is one of the strongest people I've ever heard of. Unbelievable strength. Humbled and heart broken by her story. Love her comments on American society. Love her honesty. #Truth #Honesty #Hero #KoreanStrength #HumanStrength #YeonmiPark
This interview was such a good one. What stuck with me is "freedom without virtue is anarchy"... Love and prayers to her and to us as humans. 💜

One of the best 25 minutes i've spent in my life. Is always a pleasure to listen to Yeonmi Park, she knows what's shes talking about and more people should listen to her.
I watch Yeonmi's videos a lot. But in this video you've brought out her inner self without her carefully prepared format. This was breathtaking to listen to, so animated, so focused. Thank you. This lady is more of an American than so many who were born here, because she doesn't ignore, and SEES the damage that our petty divisions can, and do, bring. She has suffered things that most cannot imagine, let alone survive. I am grateful that she is here to speak boldly about problems that we are so willing to ignore while we head to get coffee.
Very nicely done! Most relaxed interview yet! She’s the best! Love her♥️
Her love for America is more patriotic & more wholesome than many people who lived their entire lives in the US. I adore her!
I really hope we don't let her down.
it’s because she finds refuge & safety here, America is beautiful but us as Americans don’t see the true freedom we have.
Nobody will start the nuclear war to save nk people from dying of starvation...realistic talking..If CHINA is the key, as she said, she must be a dreamer...lets hope a lucky one twice...who knows?
As a veteran, it made me cry. I am probably much older than most here but I hope the younger generations can find the love for their fellow man that Yeomni found here.
I was disappointed to see Ms. Park was on Fox News with Tucker Carlson. Fox News Is just fascist right wing Republican propaganda. Same mindless crap as North Korea.
@@traceyreed9167 I love America too
That was incredible. Her message on freedom and virtue rang deeply true, and loved listening to how beautifully she spoke on really complex topics.
What a beautifully well spoken, intelligent young woman. Her voice is the voice of reason and she sees things through new eyes. Bless you sweetheart
She has such a strong mental and goal in life. She's beautiful and I'm glad she made it to tell us all she said it in this video. I wish you a long life to do everything you couldn't do before! May God help you!
What an inspirational young woman. I applaud her courage and fortitude. We need more people like Yeonmi Park in this world.
This testimony is really heartfelt. I'm really glad she made it, and she is right if you were born in the USA you should be very proud because after having lived here for over 25 years, there is not a place in the world I wish to be but here. Love the people, culture, and everything in it. I even tell people sometimes that I was born in the wrong place lol.
Thank you for sharing this blog , her story was so touching and my outmost admiration for this very talented brave woman who endured hardship and struggles and I wish she would achieve all her dreams and desire she wanted in her life .
Thank you for this video. She is incredible. She has such strength, compassion and intelligence. Remarkable woman. Every human needs to hear this. Praying for freedom and humanity for all! ❤️
I am truly inspired by this young lady. The wisdom that comes from her short life is inspiring. Her statement "Freedom needs discipline and responsibility like a virture" should be at the entrance of every school in America, if "Freedom" is to endure.
Such a brave person. The amount of craziness that her eyes have seen are enough to break any person in the world.
No. She’s lying. It’s a cash grab.
Not a word of what she says is true
@@TheBadbucky she's probably not lying, the past interviews she had were when she didn't speak the best English, she's said this before. How do you know she's lying?
Obviously not. If she can handle it imagine how many other people would be able to handle it. Maybe little bitches wont last
@@TheBadbucky why do you say she lies?
She is a strong woman and your story is an heroic one. Much love and respect!
She is leader material, so wise and she knows the answers to the problems in this world
Thank you so much Dru she just changed my life, I'm great full for my life after hearing her story.
Would love to hear the two of you talk about your trip to North Korea a few years ago. What a great interview. So glad yeonmi made it out of north korea and is doing so great now.
I am so amazed by her. She is so smart and her experience makes her so inspiring
Such a beautiful message. much love, stay safe and stay free
Awesome interview, thanks for sharing her story. Is a big eye opener for anyone. Merry Christmas from Portugal! And stay safe ✨👍
Hats off to this girl she has seen such tough time yet that smile on her face melt my heart , this is called true love for life no matter what we are going through never give up or lose hope
I adore Yeonmi. I’ve been watching her channel for a while now. Such a brave and inspiring person❤
She is really wonderful person with message to be told among everyone. Really inspiring and brave woman.
Wow this is beyond incredible! Great piece Drew ! She is a testimony 🙏🏾
Excellent. I agree that we have to keep up the fight to have our freedom. Division, fear and distrust is a downhill slope in my opinion. Thanks to her speaking up.
Nice good 👍
amen, keep up the good fight 🤍
It was really beautiful to hear her stories. It makes me cry sometimes
Wow, such a lovely eloquent young woman. Her story is amazing, wise beyond her years. Power, blessings and safety to her and those she works with.
As an Mongolian im very proud of you and the soldiers who rescued you im glad you made it out there and hopefully you'll have ur best life possiblr
Her book “In order to Live’ is the most gut wrenching example of human nature. Praise God for her survival and freedom.
This brought tears to my eyes, what a lovely and smart woman! 💕💕💕💕 I wish all success to her!
Excellent interview. Her words are incredibly valuable. America needs to really wake up and appreciate what we have. God bless and Yeonmi safe.
This was fascinating. Everyone needs to hear her story.
She’s such an inspiration. Yeonmi is a beautiful and strong human being.
she is so brave and not to mention absolutely gorgeous I love her so much it sucks that she had go through all of this im so happy that she gets to have freedom I want her to have more because she deserves it
Everyone should see this and listen to what she has to say.
I'm 79 and had just about given up on the US. She gives me hope...
Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing her story so genuine and Inspiring. Appreciate her efforts and all that she’s doing. Freedom is not to be taken for granted.
I love Yeonmis story. I subbed to her channel. Try to escape from a isolated country is a very difficult goal, dream, or a decision. Park's English is fantastic, her voice is very beautiful. Also as a Chicagoan myself, I'm proud of her for choosing to move to Chicago. She didn't choose something freaking obvious like New York, Chicago is the great option since it has friendly people, lakes, beautiful unabundant buildings, and the best US city ever. Also, the background shot here is fantastic, you got St. Regis and Aon perfectly. I cried mostly throughout the story. And her words, honestly, and description is beautiful, just beautiful. I'm proud of you Drew for meeting this woman who has a true emotional backstory. Keep up the great work for the both of you 👍🌎
Wow such an amazing story, she has alot of great wisdom and advice coming out of what she's been through
Great human. Thank you for giving her this platform.
Thank you so much Drew for this interview! What I particularly appreciate here is that you put aside your hate towards politics and you asked her also about it. It probably was uncomfortable for you but necessary for this interview.
I watch yeonmi’s channel but this was a different and amazing perspective of her story. You showcased her purpose in a way I have not seen before, despite watching hours of her videos. I hope you and she are both able to reach even more people.
What a very humbling and inspiring story...
It's with heavy heart to know the horrendous things that other human being experience.. make me more thankfull for what I have in life.
Wishing you all the best in life.
It’s so nice you’re sharing this story !!! Thank you😊
She is so so wise, amazing job, Drew!
That was an excellent interview. There was a lesson to be learned. Hope you had a happy holiday.😎
Nice good 👍
@@dististudioofficial5156 WTF does Nice Good Mean? You have replied to EVERY Comment with Nice good. Go read a book expand your vocabulary!!!!
Thank you Drew for sharing this with us. Amazing that a young lady who has seen more than any daughter should is one to remind us all about freedom!
Maybe if we spend more time listening to her message instead of worrying about what thundieberg says we can move forward. It won't matter how clean the air is if we're not free to breathe it!
She is so inspiring. It is amazing how she has such an accurate picture what is going on in America. I appreciate her courage to stand up for what she believes in to try to fight for freedom around the world. It was a privilege to listen to her experience, and what she has to say.
Lateeeee
Drew never stops surprising us, such a warm hearted guy who cares for others and humanity in general 👍❤️
I like Yeonmi very much, of course I am a subscriber of her channel. This was an eye opening video, even though we know the story. 💕
Being human is much more than just a word 🙏
This is the collab made in heaven I've been waiting for! Thank you for bringing light to Yoemnie's story and activism.
Thank you Drew. As the creator of this content you had the power and ability to edit as you pleased. You chose to allow her to share an incredibly powerful message to the American people and I for one am extremely grateful. Her closing words and statements are profound and I believe what she is saying needs to be heard by us all. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and a beautiful message to share.
She is truly an amazing woman. Very few can say they have experienced what she has but she still cut through the lies and found truth. I’ve been a fan of hers for awhile. If she ever comes to Oklahoma my family and I are happy to show her an Okie life and learn from her also.👍👍
Thank you for making this video. Her message is so important.
Literally this is your best work. Incredible story telling. Reachout when you have a moment.
This is incredible.. i am a year late to see this but by golly this young lady has some powerful messages for the world... I am awed by your strength and your wisdom ❤ Thank you both for this wonderful piece
Great interview 👍
I love this Channel 💞
Yeonmi Park is a brave girl
I want to read her books 📚
Greetings from Ireland 🎉
She is so talented and make a great sharing about the situation in North Korea and America.
Thank you Drew
. Thank you for posting her ordeal. Firstly, It was heart-wrenching to realize how innocent she was and could be put through that terror. But, it is so good that she is so clear minded and has found her purpose.
Thank you Drew. I did not know about her. She is inspiring.
Nice
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment
what an inspiring and strong, intelligent lady. Thank you for sharing her story.
Thank you for your interview with Ms. Park. She is brilliant and an American treasure reminding us why this nation is so important to the rest of the world. We cannot let our light fade.
