That's an amazing dad. He gave up everything he had, likely including his freedom for the rest of his life, so his son could live a better life. My heart breaks for the people of North Korea
Kid, not kids, we heard nothing about what happened to any other kids (if any) other than the one the Dad was clearly proud of. Parents do sometimes have favorites
unfortunately no, there is a rule in north korea that if one person escaped the country all of their other family members will either be killed or tortured badly for life...
No. Some are dead but plenty are kept alive and tortured. 3 generations of them. Not only family, friends too especially those connected to them..That's what makes this so tragic.
That dad was a true dad, a person who legitimately cares for his children's safety and future, sad he didn't escape😢. Also salute to the staff and police for protecting the person and even giving him free video games
Parents like that are what so many people need. That father knew the world was amazing and his so could live an amazing life outside NK. I hope that he has a picture of his family to remember how great they were to him
It’s sad to think his dad and family is probably no longer with us but it’s nice to think his family lineage can carry on in freedom. As a parent, I’d want the same for my child.
His father is an angel, Giving your kin the life and opportunity that you didn't is absolutely heart-warming. Especially because of the fact that he could potentially be tortured or even killed for his bravery. Much love and respect!❤
@@sxperbia Not just the dad either, they have a law apparently where three generations of the offenders family get punished if someone tries to break the law. I admire his bravery, and the family's sacrifice.
I cannot imagine the mental turmoil he must be going through of not knowing how his family is back home and whether or not they’re still alive. This is a bittersweet story 😢
I hate that he (and us) will never know what DID end up happening to them...but I'm really glad he got out and I think almost any parent would try anything to give at least one child a chance at a real life. Any life, maybe.
Bro he literally said “live the life I never got” and that is the best dad ever not only did he give his son a life he made a good choice of making his next generations have life too Edit:mo-mo-mom? I.. I.. I made it😭😔😢
I couldn't do it. If I knew my family would be punished I don't think I could live with myself. :( he was very strong. Also, we hear about how bad it is there, but it must be worse than what we've been told because I'm sure he didn't want to leave them behind. It's crazy something like this is still happening on the world.
It's very bad. Almost everyone except the special people in Pyongyang live in very extreme poverty. Someone who escaped said that they would drink out of the rivers and watch dead bodies floating past from people who had starved. The government will kill you if you don't mourn hard enough on the past rulers deaths. They will kill you if you don't clap loud enough after kim jong un speaks. They will kill you if you don't have a picture of the 2 past rulers in every building. They will kill you if your house burns and you don't rescue the 2 pictures of the 2 past rulers. I have heard that if the special sports team that competes internationally doesn't bring home a trophy, they will go in the prison camps or be killed
That family is definitely in captive or possibly worse… the sacrifices some humans have to make is so eye opening to others, we should thank this family for their bravery as we have one more story of human triumph to be inspired by❤️
Damn, having someone helping you knowing they will get in trouble for it is already impressive but knowing north Korea, dying for your child deserves some huge respect, W dad.
