Im a South Korean. I knew an older gentleman, a Korean War veteran, who escaped thru Russia. He was a border officer stationed near Russia, and somehow fell in love with a Russian girl named Sofia or Sophia, who knew how to speak Chinese. Song also knew how to speak in Chinese, so that's how they communicated. He died many years ago, so I have no idea how the two even got into contacts, but the two escaped. He basically told his men to get an early night's sleep and that there would be no late night guard duty that day. However, there were other men who were under the supervision of other officers who had not given similar orders. With his own men out of the way, he took a mad dash towards Russia, and eventually got there undetected. He threw away his pistol and went to the place where his girlfriend marked on a map which was her house. She convinced her family that he was her boyfriend from China(she went to a Chinese university to study architecture), and gave him a fake Chinese passport another Russian managed to source. The Russian man who did all this found out about Song's real identity and decided to help out. He decided not to report him. The only problem was his uniform, the only piece of clothing he had. Thankfully, North Korean uniforms during that era looked very similar to Chinese uniforms(at least the color and style). However, in Russian flea markets, people sell old military badges and pins ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Nazi German, Russian, etc. This is how they sourced a Chinese badge and pinned it on his chest to make it seem like he was wearing a Chinese uniform. I still don't get why they couldn't have bought him normal clothes, but moving on. We gotta know that this was during the era of Soviet Union and the girl and her family wasn't rich. So, when they sourced a South Korean missionary in Russia, teaching Protestantism to Eastern Orthodox people, he agreed to take Song to South Korea. After contacting some people, he was able to go to South Korea. A few years later, his girlfriend came to live with him. She was able to track him down by tracking down the missionary who guided her to his church group. There, they settled in Busan and he was able to join the South Korean military. He converted to Christianity and retired as a priest in a small church, where my parents met him. He actually gave me his hat. His uniform and peaked cap was shredded to rags, but he somehow kept his field cap clean the whole time.
Honestly, that might actually be better for them. It's not like the knowledge would make them more likely to escape, but realizing how bad they have it compared with other countries would absolutely destroy the morale.

No this shows you to not buy in to these kinds of ideologies and to never allow your government to trick you into accepting their lies that they know what's best or have your best interest at mind. They don't. 99% of politicians are only ever thinking about themselves and the pursuit of power and wealth
Unfortunately it's practically impossible right now to escape from North Korea. The borders across China, Russia, South Korea and even the coasts are heavily guarded now. If you see statistics, you will see that in 2021 and 2022 only 50 people approximately managed to escape. The insanity of this dictatorship only gets worse and worse and we say it couldn't get any more. I can assure you it can.
I follow Yeonmi Park's channel on YT. I also purchased both of her books, In Order to Live and While Time Remains. Her escape from North Korea with her mother is nothing short of a miracle and horrific as to what followed. A recent abdominal surgery, Yalu river crossing in winter, on to the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, into China, sold as a wife. She was 13. She and her mother eventually made it to South Korea and the U.S. It took years to find her sister. Her father didn't make it. He died in North Korea from misdiagnosed stomach cancer. One of her videos a year ago dealt with a defector who made it to China. He was captured. The video is titled: North Korean Defector Who Escaped Chinese Prison Recaptured and Fatally Shot By The CCP. I would post the link but that never works on YT. Comments with links are always deleted.
@@elkelewtschuk9894you can. There are plenty of debunked stories about NK. The "defectors" try to make a simple buck by telling horror stories because it's what people want to listen to.
Excellent piece! I've never heard such a complex issue as the Korea's explained so intensely but yet broken down for everyone to understand. Thank you.
This was so wonderful to have been made! Part of this is a lot of people don't know how bad it is! They just know the people are punished for disagreeing with anything. You just raised awareness and maybe more can help.
All of this because of the country you are born in, over which you have zero control. Absolutely horrendous. Very well presented with the darker aspects kept family friendly. Hard hitting, you really never know what direction this channel will take next 🙁❤
Well in the US the liberals are doing everything they can to destroy it. So many young, opinionated fools think socialism or communism would work even though history has shown they always devolve into tyranny. Whenever you give the government too much control, they will eventually take all of it.
They can leave North Korea, just as easily as minorities can leave, & or get into the U.S. All they gotta do, is kiss the right ash, but after kissing all of that ash, they start feeling lyke they’re entitled, to a piece of the pie, just lyke the United States of Americans, who have begun to feel entitled, to all kinds of say, with regards to how, & what kind of laws should, & shouldn’t be constituted! Because they admit, that North Koreans are in prison, any North Korean who manages, to escape gets the upmost treatment, from wherever allied country welcomes them… …but since the U.S. totally denies “modern-slavery,” & those who want nothing more, than an escape route, not only are “modern-slaves,” not allowed to leave, for that reason, but minorities are also forced to stay, in the U.S. under the false pretenses, that refute claims of having been born, into “modern-slavery” solely for sake, of balancing Americas debt, to the labor industry around the world, post having deprived other nations, of labor forces via “abolishing slavery!” #PropagandaShouldntBeASecretDisserviceToExaggerateNorthKoreanWarCrimesMiddleEasternWarCrimesRussianWarCrimesAndOrToUnderstateTheWarCrimesWithinTheUnitedStates

But I think we are better and treated better by our government then that of government of NK. And no way is this country even close to the North Korean country
I'm a South Korean. It is heartbreaking that people in the North are living like that. South & North had lived in the same country for many centuries and shared the same history in the past. There are some who want unification here and some who don't, but I think before that, Kim's dynasty should end and someone reasonable should emerge there and take power. 6:18 At the right part of it, it is the photo of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, not theirs. 11:46 It's East Sea, not Sea of Japan.
Do you believe China would allow this? After all, if the Republic of Korea doubled its territory its power would certainly skyrocket, and with USA as an ally, the Republic of China would feel unbearably threatened. The Kim dynasty is self proclaimed and annoying for anyone else in the world, but whatever comes next is likely either another dictatorship or chaos with nuclear weapons.

more like self-centered. They simply don't care enough about the people and have higher priorities, which will eventually lead to the country's economy being incredibly low due to mass starvation. If they do understand the struggles of the citizens and still do nothing to prevent them, they are perhaps evil to some extent. Although 'evil and good' aren't that black and white, most of the people in the world are in between. By the way, I'm talking about the NK government
You know what's worse, even if you somehow make it out and become a legal citizen in other countries, that won't stop people from dragging you back to North Korea.

I sure hope that they never reunite. South Korea will become like the North. I have no memory of my birthplace as I was adopted when I was a baby but I hope to one day fly to Seoul. A reunification of the countries would probably make that impossible. I do not see S. Korea withstanding the onslaught of N. Korea's dictatorship. It's not like the former East Germany where the USSR collapsed and lost control of the countries behind the Iron Curtain in 1989. I was a senior in high school when the Berlin Wall came down. Reintergrating the East and West has taken decades in the making but East Germany has never had a dictator in control of the government like N. Korea does. Once they lost the backing of the Soviets, I think E. Germany was open-minded to rapprochement. I don't foresee N. Korea being in that manner. They tried to overrun the S. Koreans during the Korean War, hence why the DMZ was established and is patrolled by S. Korean and American soldiers. I'm half Korean and half American born in the 1970s, so even after the Korean War, US troops were present in S. Korea. Unfortunately, I just don't see reunification being possible.
As a Polish person im sad that north koreans are working probably for saying a word like "We deserve more food!". Like we are very nice guys but sadly our country i facing threats from russia and we need resources or somthin please do not hate on Poland.

It makes sense that none of the successful defectors would claim to have gotten out through tunnels, they don't want those tunnels discovered so that other defectors can continue to escape. Hopefully more will continue to escape that living nightmare of a country.
the narrators intro alone really pulls attention towards the content. very tense and suspense filled, if not for today i didnt know the situation in N. Korea was that dire. very sad
I couldn't think of anything to say I showed my family this video and with the stuff going on they said they're better off offing themselves than trying to escape it sounds worse, but they say it's better than having your innocent family pay the price for you trying to escape.
This year the world scout Jamboree is in South Korea with scouts visiting the DMZ I wonder if some groups are planning to use the presence of often sympathetic western scouts to escape or to gain outside info
I've done research of my own on this subject bcuz it bothers me so much and I feel compelled to make a correction to some of the info Be Amazed has shared regarding the 'upper class' or 'elite' citizens, which is mostly government and military officials... First of all, the info shared here is really well researched and conveyed with accuracy and attention to detail so this is not a criticism at all, but, rather, an addition to the information that's been provided. So, that said I read an article about several soldiers that were able to defect to South Korea, one being the man who drove the vehicle across the DMZ, and after they were all given check-ups the doctors doing the exams noted that every single one of them was not only malnourished but had tapeworms!! And I mean, multiple tapeworms that were each easily 2' in length. Even the elite class are starving and, in fact, the military is expected to grow their own food bcuz the government doesn't have enough resources to provide it for them! So, when the soldiers' gardens aren't producing, they steal food from the civilians, which is always at gunpoint. Further, there is an enormous number of orphans that are left to survive on the streets bcuz the "Kim Dynasty" are such a bunch of evil, selfish monsters that they won't even spend the money to build orphanages. A journalist had snuck in a button camera to document the human rights violations and saw a little boy attempting to use a plastic bag to gather up dirty gutter water and the journalist stopped the boy, trying to explain that the dirty water would make him sick. The little boy became furious with the journalist, pulled away from him, and guzzled the water bcuz it was, literally, the only water there was to drink. There's no plumbing or running water available to civilians! Which also means that it's extremely likely that most of the population also suffers from tapeworms on top of the malnutrition. The UN is supposed to prevent these types of human rights violations, however, any decision to act must be approved by a unanimous vote by the Top Five Countries, namely the USA, the UK, France, Russia, and China and since China is an ally of N.Korea there's never a unanimous vote to intervene! Stupid? Very!! Regardless, this kind of thing can't be allowed to continue any more than Human Trafficking should be allowed, yet, we stand by and let it happen.
I'm sorry, but this video made me lose all respect for your country, it's just not right, okay. I think you're a nice person though, because Canadians are really nice.

You are not communist tend and care about common people communist is for commoner to eat what they work for, have free school tuition, free medicare and food for masses like Cuba. You are not communist you are authoritarian and dictatorship government who only one was right and have to follow.
The dumb thing is, he could earn the Nobel Peace Prize by facilitating unification with South Korea, disarming his nuclear weapons, and solving poverty and hunger. But instead he chooses to be a dictator threatening the West and their allies. Almost like he's just a pawn/proxy for China.
No when Kim is gone by death or illness guess who feels his position? His sister and she has been reported a cold cruel person who would have the balls to launch the nukes
Anyone can say what they think they would do in that situation, but who knows until you're in it. I would like to believe I would try to escape because my mentality is I'm already dead if I stay here, I might as well try.
You know what I find weird about humanity? It’s that thousands of years ago, we all lived as one, single unit. But then hundreds and hundreds of years later, we became more divided, more different, more diverse, sometimes more negative. Let that sink in
Knowing myself well to know I have a problem with authorities and my yolo attitude, I'd probably not escape myself, but die trying to get some across the border, or some of them down with me.

I love the National Geographic map of the earth at night. One telling area is the Korean Peninsula. South Korea is brightly lit while North Korea is almost entirely dark.
It breaks my heart to see so many suffering and dying. As I hold my wife and daughter's tightly, I thank God for them. And the freedom we sometimes forget just how important it is. I pray that such an evil regime will one day end,and the people can heal and live free.
It's not quite as bad as it could be, as at least the asylum rejections meant they were sent to South Korea. But still, it's not like having a policy of just accepting all NK applicants would make a meaningful difference in immigration numbers.
I like how he makes this video and makes it even harder for North Koreans to escape, cuz North Korean government and leader can use the internet just fine but nobody else can use the proper internet
There is nothing in this video that they don't already know about. The easiest way is still to find any way to leave and then simply disappear. The problem is that if you really are that high profile, China looks the other way in allowing operatives from North Korea to operate and hunt down the highest profile defectors. So you are either caught by China and sent back (if lucky) or simply meet a bad ending, usually by poisoning or being kidnapped and shot somewhere else. So it's not that there have been less people using the underground railroad so much as most of them simply are never found again/don't make it TO the embassy and we don't hear about it. There could be 2000 people hiding a mile from the South Korean embassy but it's so heavily patrolled that it might as well be a thousand miles. Hence their trying other embassies or going to odd places out of the country. With mixed but still higher than average results.
@@plektosgaming Interesting, you seem to know alot or just think about what can happen while you try to escape, either way, if I was in North Korea I'd definitely try to escape, worst that can happen is death regardless, but Best is that I walk free, high risk high reward know what I'm saying?
@@gizimizi1144 The stories you hear from friends in the South Korean communities, while certainly exaggerated a bit, are nonetheless shockingly accurate in places to what was in the video. China doesn't put walls on the borders because they already have systems to reward citizens for turning in people who are acting against the government's wishes. Every laptop and computer is hacked and scanned, every communication as well. It's natural for them to expand this cultural surveillance program into catching North Koreans and most of the citizens are all too happy with cashing in on a few rewards. Such that the numbers have dropped to a few hundred a year.

There's like a little piece on the north eastern part of N.K. that crosses a little part of china. Why not use that to cross a small piece of china and cross the border to the next country?
There is actually a very short border with Russia itself. Go check it out on Google Earth. There appears to be an official crossing point across the river. Obviously this would be heavily guarded and the river seems pretty wide to get across by other means at that point. I wonder how heavily the border is guarded on the Russian side though and would Russia send defectors back to North Korea as China would?

With his own men out of the way, he took a mad dash towards Russia, and eventually got there undetected. He threw away his pistol and went to the place where his girlfriend marked on a map which was her house. She convinced her family that he was her boyfriend from China(she went to a Chinese university to study architecture), and gave him a fake Chinese passport another Russian managed to source.

Excellent piece! I've never heard such a complex issue as the Korea's explained so intensely but yet broken down for everyone to understand. Thank you.
This was so wonderful to have been made! Part of this is a lot of people don't know how bad it is! They just know the people are punished for disagreeing with anything. You just raised awareness and maybe more can help.

North Korea - The world’s highest security prison.
A few days ago, a wise man said, "North Korea is the world's largest and most successful prison program".
Fck that wise man, just flamethrower the upper of south korea
Prison? More lice labor camp x2 hell
The US has a far greater prison population than N Korea.

more like gulag
All of this because of the country you are born in, over which you have zero control. Absolutely horrendous. Very well presented with the darker aspects kept family friendly. Hard hitting, you really never know what direction this channel will take next 🙁❤

North Korea's story makes one appreciate the democracy in their own country which might not be perfect but, come on.
They would probably envy me in Canada if they knew that it is wayyyy better
Yes... democratic countries can be messy and dirty, but it's heaven compared to dictatorship
It makes me more committed to doing what little I can to preserve our democracy!
Well in the US the liberals are doing everything they can to destroy it. So many young, opinionated fools think socialism or communism would work even though history has shown they always devolve into tyranny. Whenever you give the government too much control, they will eventually take all of it.
I am shocked. As a UK citizen I'm disgusted we rejected them

They can leave North Korea, just as easily as minorities can leave, & or get into the U.S.
All they gotta do, is kiss the right ash, but after kissing all of that ash, they start feeling lyke they’re entitled, to a piece of the pie, just lyke the United States of Americans, who have begun to feel entitled, to all kinds of say, with regards to how, & what kind of laws should, & shouldn’t be constituted!
Because they admit, that North Koreans are in prison, any North Korean who manages, to escape gets the upmost treatment, from wherever allied country welcomes them…
…but since the U.S. totally denies “modern-slavery,” & those who want nothing more, than an escape route, not only are “modern-slaves,” not allowed to leave, for that reason, but minorities are also forced to stay, in the U.S. under the false pretenses, that refute claims of having been born, into “modern-slavery” solely for sake, of balancing Americas debt, to the labor industry around the world, post having deprived other nations, of labor forces via “abolishing slavery!”

I'm a South Korean. It is heartbreaking that people in the North are living like that. South & North had lived in the same country for many centuries and shared the same history in the past. There are some who want unification here and some who don't, but I think before that, Kim's dynasty should end and someone reasonable should emerge there and take power.
6:18 At the right part of it, it is the photo of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, not theirs.
11:46 It's East Sea, not Sea of Japan.
Do you believe China would allow this?
After all, if the Republic of Korea doubled its territory its power would certainly skyrocket, and with USA as an ally, the Republic of China would feel unbearably threatened.
The Kim dynasty is self proclaimed and annoying for anyone else in the world, but whatever comes next is likely either another dictatorship or chaos with nuclear weapons.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3 ; 16) ! He wants you to return to his realm! Please Spread this Word, For he is the Lawful King of Kings, the first and the last, the beginning and the End! The Time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent (Change of mind, namely from unbelief to belief) and Believe in the Gospel (Mark 1; 15)
How to be saved!
Jesus Christ, who is the son of God, died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again on the third day to give you eternal life in heaven as a gift (1 Corinthians 15 ; 3-4) & (Romans 6 ; 23)
Believe in Jesus Christ and his promises and you will be saved (Acts 16:31)
Grace from God is another factor that saves you (believe in Jesus and not in yourself and in your works), because if you justify yourself by the law, then this is no longer grace, but a curse, since Jesus removed us from the curse of the law given by Moses (Romans 3; 20 -21) ,(Galatians 2; 21) ,(Galatians 3; 13-14) and Galatians (5; 4)
But don't get me wrong! Jesus commanded us to keep his commandments (John 14:15-17) and what commandments they are! Love God with all your heart, mind and soul (Matthew 22:37-40), To love one another he loved us (John 13:34), to love your enemies our lives, which can teach us much” (Matthew 5:44-48)! In this way we process our faith, strengthen it and make it even stronger than before, since for our works on earth we are waiting for Blessed Rewards in heaven
May God bless us and may God have mercy on all of us!!!❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

more like self-centered. They simply don't care enough about the people and have higher priorities, which will eventually lead to the country's economy being incredibly low due to mass starvation. If they do understand the struggles of the citizens and still do nothing to prevent them, they are perhaps evil to some extent. Although 'evil and good' aren't that black and white, most of the people in the world are in between. By the way, I'm talking about the NK government

There's a 10th option: wait until the countries reunite (may not happen) and escape the suffering.
Or Russia.
They could reach a compromise for ex USA soldiers leaving S.K with N.K cutting ties with China and destroy all Nukes.
@@jakg4why?
I sure hope that they never reunite. South Korea will become like the North. I have no memory of my birthplace as I was adopted when I was a baby but I hope to one day fly to Seoul. A reunification of the countries would probably make that impossible. I do not see S. Korea withstanding the onslaught of N. Korea's dictatorship. It's not like the former East Germany where the USSR collapsed and lost control of the countries behind the Iron Curtain in 1989. I was a senior in high school when the Berlin Wall came down. Reintergrating the East and West has taken decades in the making but East Germany has never had a dictator in control of the government like N. Korea does. Once they lost the backing of the Soviets, I think E. Germany was open-minded to rapprochement. I don't foresee N. Korea being in that manner. They tried to overrun the S. Koreans during the Korean War, hence why the DMZ was established and is patrolled by S. Korean and American soldiers. I'm half Korean and half American born in the 1970s, so even after the Korean War, US troops were present in S. Korea. Unfortunately, I just don't see reunification being possible.

This is a real eye opener to people who have no idea how lucky they are to be living here in the US
I've done research of my own on this subject bcuz it bothers me so much and I feel compelled to make a correction to some of the info Be Amazed has shared regarding the 'upper class' or 'elite' citizens, which is mostly government and military officials... First of all, the info shared here is really well researched and conveyed with accuracy and attention to detail so this is not a criticism at all, but, rather, an addition to the information that's been provided. So, that said I read an article about several soldiers that were able to defect to South Korea, one being the man who drove the vehicle across the DMZ, and after they were all given check-ups the doctors doing the exams noted that every single one of them was not only malnourished but had tapeworms!! And I mean, multiple tapeworms that were each easily 2' in length. Even the elite class are starving and, in fact, the military is expected to grow their own food bcuz the government doesn't have enough resources to provide it for them! So, when the soldiers' gardens aren't producing, they steal food from the civilians, which is always at gunpoint. Further, there is an enormous number of orphans that are left to survive on the streets bcuz the "Kim Dynasty" are such a bunch of evil, selfish monsters that they won't even spend the money to build orphanages. A journalist had snuck in a button camera to document the human rights violations and saw a little boy attempting to use a plastic bag to gather up dirty gutter water and the journalist stopped the boy, trying to explain that the dirty water would make him sick. The little boy became furious with the journalist, pulled away from him, and guzzled the water bcuz it was, literally, the only water there was to drink. There's no plumbing or running water available to civilians! Which also means that it's extremely likely that most of the population also suffers from tapeworms on top of the malnutrition. The UN is supposed to prevent these types of human rights violations, however, any decision to act must be approved by a unanimous vote by the Top Five Countries, namely the USA, the UK, France, Russia, and China and since China is an ally of N.Korea there's never a unanimous vote to intervene! Stupid? Very!! Regardless, this kind of thing can't be allowed to continue any more than Human Trafficking should be allowed, yet, we stand by and let it happen.
Thank you for info. This world is just turning into shit.

The dislikes are from kim jong un and his army
Anyone can say what they think they would do in that situation, but who knows until you're in it. I would like to believe I would try to escape because my mentality is I'm already dead if I stay here, I might as well try.
You finally released it... I was stuck there forever!
You know what I find weird about humanity? It’s that thousands of years ago, we all lived as one, single unit. But then hundreds and hundreds of years later, we became more divided, more different, more diverse, sometimes more negative. Let that sink in

Knowing my country rejected all demands of asylum makes me incredibly embarrassed. We could help these people but no, truly disgusting
What’s your country?
It's not quite as bad as it could be, as at least the asylum rejections meant they were sent to South Korea. But still, it's not like having a policy of just accepting all NK applicants would make a meaningful difference in immigration numbers.
I like how he makes this video and makes it even harder for North Koreans to escape, cuz North Korean government and leader can use the internet just fine but nobody else can use the proper internet
There is nothing in this video that they don't already know about. The easiest way is still to find any way to leave and then simply disappear. The problem is that if you really are that high profile, China looks the other way in allowing operatives from North Korea to operate and hunt down the highest profile defectors. So you are either caught by China and sent back (if lucky) or simply meet a bad ending, usually by poisoning or being kidnapped and shot somewhere else. So it's not that there have been less people using the underground railroad so much as most of them simply are never found again/don't make it TO the embassy and we don't hear about it. There could be 2000 people hiding a mile from the South Korean embassy but it's so heavily patrolled that it might as well be a thousand miles. Hence their trying other embassies or going to odd places out of the country. With mixed but still higher than average results.
@@plektosgaming Interesting, you seem to know alot or just think about what can happen while you try to escape, either way, if I was in North Korea I'd definitely try to escape, worst that can happen is death regardless, but Best is that I walk free, high risk high reward know what I'm saying?
@@gizimizi1144 The stories you hear from friends in the South Korean communities, while certainly exaggerated a bit, are nonetheless shockingly accurate in places to what was in the video. China doesn't put walls on the borders because they already have systems to reward citizens for turning in people who are acting against the government's wishes. Every laptop and computer is hacked and scanned, every communication as well. It's natural for them to expand this cultural surveillance program into catching North Koreans and most of the citizens are all too happy with cashing in on a few rewards. Such that the numbers have dropped to a few hundred a year.

Obviously this would be heavily guarded and the river seems pretty wide to get across by other means at that point. I wonder how heavily the border is guarded on the Russian side though and would Russia send defectors back to North Korea as China would?
