It's ok man, I eat 2 ramen packets. 1 is simply not enough even though I'm not very fat. My grandfather escape North Korea when he was a child. I am glad to see you eat and hear you talk.
Ramen isn't very filling. Try adding an egg or imitation crab for cheap protein, and vegetables for fiber, and suddenly you'll feel much fuller, without spending too much extra money.
Imagine escaping from a dictator regime and yet instead of obtaining the sweet taste of freedom, he is assaulted by the guilt of leaving his family behind. Hopefully, one day he can make peace with himself and find solace in his new life in South Korea.
I remember him when he was a diplomat in Hanoi. From what I remeber, before he defected, he was a very hard working person and he was a very well respected diplomat too. Most of the North Korean diplomats we met back then were very nice people and hard working. Their families always try to learn about the outside world but very discretely. If they were found to secretly learn English, that would be very bad for them. I feel so bad for him after learning about his situation and his family back in North Korea
Its quite sad to know even gov officials like him would struggle too and strive to leave, many Vietnamese still want to defend the NK regime simply bc its name is the same name as ours, "communist gov", but the NK gov is a true dictatorship, it is nothing like the communists that freed VN from colonization,the Kim family is like a cult that is addicted to power and used communism as a tool, we have to look at the truth
Such a simple mukbang video of a north korean eating ramyeon but yet, theres so much to learn from him. From his gratitude for hot water, joy in eating the cheapest instant noodles we can easily obtain, queer way of cooking noodles without boiling the water, and sitting on the floor to eat without a table. I guess thats just the simple pleasures of life, and learning to be grateful for what we have. Wishing him all the best in finding a job and having some financial means to enjoy his freedom
@@plight5381so you knew what he meant by a table and chairs yet you felt needed to point it out, well, I found someone who was mistreated as a kid. Your mother clearly didn’t teach you about how different cultures work, either that, or you’re just here to be an idiot. Which nobody likes, especially when it’s such an amazing story to tell, nobody wants you here, or needs you, please have a good day, and let’s not respond in a stupid unthoughtful manner. Not only that you also just felt like pointing out that stuff isn’t cheap, in which, it is, it most certainly is cheap. So… idk if youre a kid who doesn’t know prices or you’re an adult who has nothing better to do than sit here being unproductive. Only reason I’m pointing such useless things, is because you felt the need to point out useless things, so, aye, fire with fire bro, have a good life everyone, and salude to Ukrain! (And yes I’m here just like you, cause I’m bored, and I feel educating someone like you is the least I can do for the community)
there will always being someone living a harder life than you so always stay humble and happy for what you have vs unhappy for what you don't have I hope this man can find peace and friendship in his life once you hit rock bottom there is nowhere to go but up
If I met this guy, I would invite him every day to eat! He should create a channel and just talk about North Korea, I think it would be very interesting and popular.
@@KatiTheButcher I think it's more that he himself isn't comfortable talking about it, since it's a sensitive topic. I doubt he'd be in much trouble in South Korea, which is all the more sad that he's the one who shackles himself to the memories of his family that he left behind.
You can feed him, but you should leave him alone when it comes to North Korea. You don't want to remind me too much about North Korea. Didn't you watch the video? It made him losing sleeps because of his guilt.
I cannot help but to feel sorry for this man and all his internal pain he is feeling… Which is why he can’t gain any weight since stress can do this to you. The pain of leaving his family and knowing that they may have to pay the price of his defection would be too much to bear to carry alone.
I am so happy to see you typed that. I am a veteran who travelled the world. In many places where I traveled, people did not have good lives. I get so angry at my fellow Americans, who are so spoiled and have no clue what much of the world has to go through. I think every American upon graduating high school should have to spend a year in the Peace Corps or something similar so they can see how others live.
An eye opener to the plight of many humans who are suffering in the world. Thank you for this video. Hope the man heal of his past and find peace and comfort for the present and future , blessed by God.
You know the north and south Korea is essentially the same when he said "i need kimchi, gotta buy some but the ramyun is still good" Ridiculous people coming/inheriting power and diving us.. I wish i could share a meal with this man with some kimchi😢
Knowing North Korea's policy on defection, highly unlikely he will reunite with his family in this life. Even extended family will have been punished in his place.
I just feel so awful for his family. I can only hope maybe they could escape one day and reunite as a family again Just found out they escaped before him now I hope they meet up
typical remarks coming from a human being that went through so much hardship... i bow to your discipline, your perseverence and your positive outlook to your new life... All my biggest wishes for this man to finally reunite with his loved ones!!
Poor guy. Don’t judge because he left his family behind. Many North Koreans are forced to do this due to desperation. Fear and desperation are strong motivations. I hope can be reunited with them in the future.❤
Just speculation no offense intended: The more that can flee…successfully, the more maybe ‘hope’ there can be for the rest, better than the attempt and then death, not only of your life but like all family. 😢❤ god bless and carry them to reprieve that this earth has to offer, to be so hungry, when the earth and avenues can offer reprieve… it’s a factor, and oh I have gotten this shin ramen on the other side of globe, it’s a poor ish man’s type of treat, that exemplifies how unjust and inhumane it is for up there to me…
@@psychotech3927 pretty sure the ones he left would be happy to know he got free and can make a future for the family, have children and so let their lives have a meaning
That's my favorite ramen too. Though I bought some of that same brand in Japan, it looked the same but the taste was completely different--kind of sweet...I didn't like it at all. I always add more ingredients--soft boiled egg, boiled cabbage, mushrooms, spinach.
@@koraegi maybe I should emigrate from Europe to South Korea and teach the North Koreans about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ? (and be their friend)
My dad was from North Korea and fortunately escaped with his mom and siblings when he was quite young. He’s told me about the devastating conditions. You eat as many ramen as you want. You deserve it. ❤.
Try to eat more vegetables and meat. Eating too much ‘instant’ ramen noodles in a package is not very healthy for you. I hope the best for you. Stay strong body and mind. You’re not the only one who has a very difficult life. Your courage to tell your story to people who have defected from North Korea is very important. Stay positive and keep a good attitude. I will send you a prayer your way to help you tonight. My Best wishes to from the USA.

Shin Ramyun isnt really ''instant'' ramen noodles though, its a lil different.
its still highly processed, devoid of nutrients except empty carbs, and high blood pressure inducing amounts of sodium. The North Korean defector doesn't care for all this cause even a single packet was a luxury item and now a comfort dish for him.
here in hawaii we have plenty korean ramyun ramen, sooooo delicious as long its not tooooo spicy, i love the Mild ramens!!! the cheese ramen is super delicious its a yellow packaging..i also love authentic korean kim chee, im happy we have korean stores here in hawaii.
My favorite pot noodle. ❤ from America. I love throwing veggies in mine and draining the water so the spice clings to the noodle. Superb with mushrooms covered in the spice.
Fun fact You dont need to boil the water before putting in the noodles The noodles won't even get bloated or soggy Throw everything in and just heat the pot
Seeing him appreciate hot water from the faucet is eye opening. I'm glad he's getting medical checkups. It's amazing that he's achieved so many goals in life through his hardwork. I wish he could reunite with his family again some day. He makes food look so delicious.
This man has suffered so much and he still feels guilt. I've meet people who wouldn't even bat an eye even if their parents or loved ones died. What a cruel world we live in
I wish I could gift this man with some Furukaki&2eggs to add to his next ramen meal. God bless this man’s heart! Sending lot’s of luv&aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
I was born in Seoul Army Hospital in the late 60's. Came to America when I was 5 with my mom. I love ramen. When I was in Japan US Navy, I fell in love with Japanese ramen and Yakisoba and of course.. SUSHI.......... But it does not beat GIMBOP.
I read a post that says, "My dad doesn't have money for retirement because he spent it on my college education. Do I tell him to start a Roth IRA?". Then I see this YT vod where a father aged man is happy to eat Ramen. Idk wtf is happening to my brain, via my eyes and ears. I get humbled as soon as I think I need to worry.
I sincerely hope in this man’s time that the Mount Paektu Kim family is replaced by a more humane government just for the reunification of families alone. This man’s on a serious guilt trip because of Kim Jong Un. I can’t fathom the logic of how a self proclaimed true socialist country can have its leadership based on heredity.
I'm super thankful for my cushy life as an American. I've willingly exposed myself to a lot more hardships than most people from the west so I've gotten a bit of perspective on things but I can't imagine coming from this guy's world into ours. It has to be like night and day. Seeing the absolutely genuine appreciation this man has for something as simple as instant ramen really helps me put into perspective just how good we have it out here.
I hope this man's family is alright. I certainly can't blame him for fleeing when hegot the chance. I've never experienced the kind of suffering he has.
I am guessing all the north Koreans have to do what they need to do to survive.only if they feed thier people escaping north Koreans would happen.but this guy is enjoying basic food he never had before.
Most of us can only imagine what you've been through. My prayers go out to you and your family. Something I heard recently is "If you are drowning you have to save yourself first before you can help others"
Shin Ramyun, yummy! I'm glad you left North Korea. I spent time stationed in South Korea for a year and visited North Korea a couple of times in 1992. It was definitely an experience. Comsomnidaa. Thank you.
As you begin this new chapter in your life, I want you to know that I am truly wishing you good health, wealth, security, and prosperity. This journey may have challenges, but I hope you find strength and support along the way. May the good Lord be your guiding light through every moment of your path.
Alot of North Korean defectors you bring on i can atleast see the human in them and the reactions they give seem like genuine reactions. I get a weird vibe this guy only cares about himself and nothing else.
To be fair, he did say he was actively feeling guilty about leaving his family behind and believing some of his lot in life may be [divine] punishment. Also bear in mind this guy was a high-ranking person in North Korea working in foreign affairs, so his demeanor may be very different. He also hasn't been in South Korea for very long. His apartment is very barren and he's still marveling at the culture shock. I saw the human with him talking about food initially and about having hot water.
@ I hear what you are saying 100% but on the same vein "He was a high ranking politician in North Korea" I feel bad for the brainwashing that happens but if hes a high ranking politician in North Korea he has done some horrible things. Then to also say how much you miss said place after leaving your family to die there. I have alot of sympathy for people but he was one of the people helping to create that environment to not show any remorse. Except for the remorse to go back is not ok to me.
You don’t know anything about this man or the suffering he has been through. N Korea is a giant prison, getting yourself out is nearly impossible much less trying to get an entire family out together. You think the leadership allowed him to take his family with him overseas? Be grateful for your blessings and stop judging people you know nothing about.
@jackyack7850 your being a hypocrite by not knowing my life telling me to count my blessings as if I had an easy one lol. I don't care what your scenario is being a leader in North Korea he has done horrible things. Are you dumb? Let alone after doing said horrible things he left his family to deal with the consequences if you think that's ok your scum.
@jackyack7850 your talking as if he was a civilian who escaped. You need to read more and study. He was a political leader he caused many of the problems that make that place a prison. And you feel bad for him? Then go live in North Korea please.
This guy can probably do many, many more things, some of which would absolutely blow your mind. In fact, he's probably as smart as anyone you'll ever meet. Hopefully he can find a way to use his brain in South Korea in order to find a career that allows him to make money, so that if he ever has the chance, he can help out those he left behind.
i like how he refers to south korea as "korea". understanding that nk is a bunch of bs. the people are anxious to approach him probably because he radiates a cptsd energy
There's no South or North Korea. There's just the Republic of Korea and the part of the Republic of Korea illegally occupied by the Workers' Party of Korea.
Are you for real?! Of course we can judge him, how deplorable to leave your family to starve for your own self fulfilment. People die and sacrifice for their families every day. Search your soul for meaning
Shin is my favorite ramen. Funny enough I discovered it in college after a heartbreaking breakup. Whenever I eat it I feel a flurry of emotions. Probably not as intense as this man, but I feel a comraderie with him seeing it is also his coping food. ❤❤❤ wish you best man. Live a long life, day by day.

Seeing this man eat his favorite food brought me much joy. I wish him and his people good luck.
I sincerely hope in this man’s time that the Mount Paektu Kim family is replaced by a more humane government just for the reunification of families alone. This man’s on a serious guilt trip because of Kim Jong Un. I can’t fathom the logic of how a self proclaimed true socialist country can have its leadership based on heredity.
It's dictatorship!
Easy, the ruling family are evil
I'm super thankful for my cushy life as an American. I've willingly exposed myself to a lot more hardships than most people from the west so I've gotten a bit of perspective on things but I can't imagine coming from this guy's world into ours. It has to be like night and day. Seeing the absolutely genuine appreciation this man has for something as simple as instant ramen really helps me put into perspective just how good we have it out here.
I hope this man's family is alright. I certainly can't blame him for fleeing when hegot the chance. I've never experienced the kind of suffering he has.
The man found joy in all the small things we took for granted. Hopefully, some day he can be reunited with his family.
He "studied hard" and got good grades.

"Correct" Answer: 18 holes on one.
🤣😆
Very humble and no BS guy. Good man. Hope him the best
The simple things!
How calmly he speaks of such a heavy guilt. His family was most likely executed for his escape which is why he feels such remorse.
I read another comment saying his family escaped before he did. I hope it is true.
Also how he speaks about such heavy things between gulps of food....
it isn't his fault that NK is ruled by the worst regime... :(
@@KatiTheButcher not true. read his interviews
@@m4x658 that's sad.
I like how he looks happy and excited when he gets his ramen
Did they starve him first 😭
Yes for full immersion
He def looks like he could gain a little weight.
@@MrTytyjohn64 r/woosh
Read the captions. He said he had a health check, and they told him not to eat after 10pm.
@@MrTytyjohn64 lmfaooo bro is funny as shit
Bless this man. He has so much to teach about North Korean life.
Shin Ramen is my favorite instant also!
Blessings for this man 🙏🙏
I am guessing all the north Koreans have to do what they need to do to survive.only if they feed thier people escaping north Koreans would happen.but this guy is enjoying basic food he never had before.
Most of us can only imagine what you've been through. My prayers go out to you and your family. Something I heard recently is "If you are drowning you have to save yourself first before you can help others"
Shin Ramyun, yummy! I'm glad you left North Korea. I spent time stationed in South Korea for a year and visited North Korea a couple of times in 1992. It was definitely an experience. Comsomnidaa. Thank you.
i'm not korean but i feel like korea had an amazing history more than i was amazed by ancient egypt. its beautiful that they still share one language
Damn I’ve never been this early
i feel for this man. I hope the best for him
I wish to pay him a good meal!
As you begin this new chapter in your life, I want you to know that I am truly wishing you good health, wealth, security, and prosperity. This journey may have challenges, but I hope you find strength and support along the way. May the good Lord be your guiding light through every moment of your path.
Alot of North Korean defectors you bring on i can atleast see the human in them and the reactions they give seem like genuine reactions. I get a weird vibe this guy only cares about himself and nothing else.
To be fair, he did say he was actively feeling guilty about leaving his family behind and believing some of his lot in life may be [divine] punishment.
Also bear in mind this guy was a high-ranking person in North Korea working in foreign affairs, so his demeanor may be very different. He also hasn't been in South Korea for very long. His apartment is very barren and he's still marveling at the culture shock.
I saw the human with him talking about food initially and about having hot water.
@ I hear what you are saying 100% but on the same vein "He was a high ranking politician in North Korea" I feel bad for the brainwashing that happens but if hes a high ranking politician in North Korea he has done some horrible things. Then to also say how much you miss said place after leaving your family to die there. I have alot of sympathy for people but he was one of the people helping to create that environment to not show any remorse. Except for the remorse to go back is not ok to me.
You don’t know anything about this man or the suffering he has been through. N Korea is a giant prison, getting yourself out is nearly impossible much less trying to get an entire family out together. You think the leadership allowed him to take his family with him overseas? Be grateful for your blessings and stop judging people you know nothing about.
@jackyack7850 your being a hypocrite by not knowing my life telling me to count my blessings as if I had an easy one lol. I don't care what your scenario is being a leader in North Korea he has done horrible things. Are you dumb? Let alone after doing said horrible things he left his family to deal with the consequences if you think that's ok your scum.
@jackyack7850 your talking as if he was a civilian who escaped. You need to read more and study. He was a political leader he caused many of the problems that make that place a prison. And you feel bad for him? Then go live in North Korea please.
Shin Ramyun is the best Instant Ramen in the world.
I've tried many different brands and varieties, but nothing beats Shin Ramyun for me.
omg this guy can speak french???
This guy can probably do many, many more things, some of which would absolutely blow your mind. In fact, he's probably as smart as anyone you'll ever meet. Hopefully he can find a way to use his brain in South Korea in order to find a career that allows him to make money, so that if he ever has the chance, he can help out those he left behind.
If he was sent to Vietnam as a diplomat, then it's likely. Although, how much French is used in Vietnam these days...? 😂
I would love to see him go to France and eat some French food .
You're surprised a diplomat can speak foreign languages? Really? Don't think much of Koreans, do you? 🙄
So he left his kids behind, that's brutal
I just want to give him a hug........사랑해~!!!!!
Dude was so happy when looking at his not one, but TWO packs of ramen, we’re not so different after all brother 🥹
The survivor's guilt is strong with this one. Poor man. I hope someone is able to tell him it's not his fault soon... Not that he'll believe it.
It might be his fault, people need to stop being so self justifying.
I hope this brother will find peace. Everything we have deserves gratitude from us daily if not constantly. Hope everyone has a great day/night.
I wish I could take this guy out for dinner!
God bless this man, what hardships. I hope he can find forgiveness for himself. Much love from USA
i like how he refers to south korea as "korea". understanding that nk is a bunch of bs. the people are anxious to approach him probably because he radiates a cptsd energy
Yeah I noticed that too. South Korea is what all of the Korea landmass should strive towards
There's no South or North Korea. There's just the Republic of Korea and the part of the Republic of Korea illegally occupied by the Workers' Party of Korea.
@@blazing1793 yes sir
He seems like a chill dude. Would totally have loved to have a chat with him if it weren't for the language barrier.
ramen noodles alone in broth as the only food for a day is not very healthy
He has a bag of rice so i dont think hes only eating ramen.
It is healthier than living in North Korea.
@@craigwilliams7635 how do you know?
he wants to gain weight though
Its really eye oppening to see that hes thankful for everything he has.
Who are we to judge him. I truly wish him well. Please have protein and vegetables too.
Are you for real?! Of course we can judge him, how deplorable to leave your family to starve for your own self fulfilment. People die and sacrifice for their families every day. Search your soul for meaning
한국에서 식재료는 매우 비싸다
There are several things that I missed in this world, and that is hearing the Korean language, the customs, and, of course, the food.
It would be more believable if he actually had a NK accent...
Shin is my favorite ramen. Funny enough I discovered it in college after a heartbreaking breakup. Whenever I eat it I feel a flurry of emotions. Probably not as intense as this man, but I feel a comraderie with him seeing it is also his coping food. ❤❤❤ wish you best man. Live a long life, day by day.
Too much sodium.
