Do you think you could do an interview of Yeonmi Park for the next North Korea themed vids? It's just a suggestion cause I've read her book and it's incredible. Also, your vids are very addictive 😇🏵🏵🏵
Yeah if she returned she would have been either killed or put in a concentration camp. If the NK government found out about her leaving, which they probably did if she was in a higher class, her family is already in those camps or dead. It's called group guilt and 3-8 generations of family end up put in the camps for crimes like leaving.
Believe it or if north koreans were granted a few days in south korea and asked if they wanted to stay many of them wouldn't because they are so used to a cold and dark lifestyle they wouldn't be able to handle thinks in a normal fast paced country, and they also probably wouldn't know what to do with their freedom as almost all of them lived with such a strict rules their entire lifes
Well are you really surprised? Going from a state that literally did everything and decided for things you, never having to worry about money or your job, to an absolutely ruthless capitalist society such as sth. Korea. where you are free and you have to decide by yourself for everything, which is panicking, even for people living in countries like that since birth. I would have went back. It would take immense strenght to adapt like that, and life definitely wasnt so bad especially for her back there.
@@kikiTHEalienthat's what happened with another north Korean women who fled the country Drew binsky had a interview with her she now lives in Denver i think
She wasn't from a poor family. She just wanted freedom. It's a reason as valid as other defectors' reasons, hence why she was allowed to stay in South Korea as a defector.
She was living in fkn north korea for shit sake!! 😆 😄 Yeah it was the food packaging that almost made her decide to go back to Kim Jung Un and company 😂
Not really. Her family is high class in NK. And if she alone could bribe $10k dollars, its not impossible that her family could do the same for a larger amount
These people need to look over their shoulders every day of their lives. Step out of line you have your choice. Be shot or starved to death. Up to Kim Jong Un.
Nara's story is quite interesting. Her story is different because she left North Korea, not because she was hungry or poor. Her family lived well but she left because she wanted freedom. Her mother already lived in China and later in South Korea and asked her several times if she didn't want to join her. Her father and brother decided to stay. It's interesting to learn a story with a different view of the life there. I really like to watch her interviews.

@Yeonjun's lost nike tn sorry i dont know which country you are from and i can't compare.. but comparing to the north koreans south koreans are far more friendly 👍 as the goverment is not that strict..
Course, I am S. Korean. We always welcome N. Korean, and we give S. Korean citizenship and all welfare from government, such as free education and free health care. Only N. Korean can get a S. Koresn citizenship without reason.
South korea has a policy of accepting each and every north korean who wants to escape, the only problem is getting there, as you probably know north koreans aren't allowed to leave the country without a special permission from the government and a very good reason to leave. You can't escape by land as the border with south korea is heavily protected and china is an ally to north korea and if you get caught in china they'll depart you back immediately and you can guess what would happen to you then
She's very brave... I can't imagine her feelings deciding to left behind her whole Family in NK. And now she's free and to face all the New things and expirience totally to her were hard. Fighting.
TBH going to Japan or Thailand is one of your best options because if you go to Thailand, escaping North Korea they'd send you to south Korea but in Japan they'd just contact south Korea and you won't go to jail
Exactly what i thought she swam across a river, was in jail but damn the unfamiliar food names in supermarket stressed her out!!!! But jokes aside she is very brave... Its not easy to make such a hard decision of leaving behind an opressive regime the thought it self is hard many people would just accept their fate and go on living, happy that she made a change.
It must be stressed for her, I went to SK once and I understand what she felt. People in there not welcoming, wont help you, wont explained what kind of food it is, except you have a korean friend who know you. My korean friends said in SK, people much colder before Gangnam style PSY trended over the world. after it's trending, the Government promotes hallyu waves to make Tourists/foreigners come to SK. Then it's better after BTS famous since 2017 until now. SK being so famous to travel destination, so people in there especially Seoul ppl changed a lil bit, they're not too cold, at least they try to humble to tourist or foreigner who visited there
Do You Wonder Why Korea Split In Two? Well, The Story Begins From 1910. It Was Taken By Japanese. And, When Japan Empire Die, Soviet Union And USA Divided By 38th Parallel. And After Korean War, The Borders Are Exact Same.
Watched her full video on this. She told that her life was pretty normal there as her father worked for government. As we usually come across horrifying stories about NK her's bought a new perspective. She was very positive about her life there as well. I liked listening about her experiences.

Sometimes when I think about the North Korean people I really get tears ....life is so hard for them and I won't lie I don't do it always but whenever I remember, in my daily routine I pray for those people's good health and for their good life 💜💜💜
@@pj.sinclair Hey nice to meet you, and I just want to say I'm not stupid and thanks for giving me your opinion☺️ I feel sad for them and for their hard life because they are in an Authoritarian/totalitarian state where they have absolutely no freedom and are always hungry that's why
"She wasn't satisfied with her life" no I'm pretty sure she heard of the outside world and she wanted that because she realized it was less strict out there
If you watch her youtube channel, she was basically swayed by K-drama and tought all SK guys are super good looking and live in big houses 😂😂 Hence when she fought with her stepmother, she decided to go to SK where her mom is (and chase hot guys, tho soon reality come crashing down on her when she see that the male species are not much different than NK) 😂😂
@@slavakard6844 if i was a rich person in North Korea like her I would leave north korea without selling kidney but i would not go to south korea I would go to Sacramento, California
Makes the most dangerous decision of her life to leave North Korea, spends a month in jail, swims across a river, hops between 4 different countries. "Yeah, the *food labels* stress me out so I might go back to North Korea"
It is because since the division, South Korea has interacted with the world and accepted many new words, but North Korea has not. Much of the differences occurred after the division.
It's almost same. The accent and terms are little bit different but not a problem to understand and get used to. The greatest problem is North Korea prohibit the use of English words but South Korean use a lot of English words and It could make her confused.
Life in freedom has its stresses, but returning to authoritarian state could never be a choice. No matter the stress, the freedom to choose is always better than a promise of security in a cage even when it is diamond studded gold.
@@DrRohiniM it definetely is, but 1. You are the average Western News listener 2. The people in NK think their Life IS good and 3. You need to Look it at another Point of view
@@krichenboi I've seen interviews of many people from NK. Not the westerners People in NK "think" their life is good. Because they were never open to knowing what freedom is. Without any sources they don't know what freedom means I'm telling it from the other POV, you're not seeing it
@@DrRohiniM yeah yeah totally that people in north Korea think this cause they dont have freedom No Joke but i think the USA "freedom" Joke is Very funny
I think it is truly amazing how she can travel so far like that and be so brave also having to be in jail for a month is pretty hard if you really think about it. This is a great story god bless Nara ☺️
I’m South Korean but I know many people who are North Korean that also escaped. They have to cross a river without getting caught by North Korean soldiers (if your do you get killed) but if you don’t get caught you can be free as they can’t make you go to jail as South Koreans laws are different to north Koreans law (South Koreans law does not include not having north Koreans allowed) I hope that North Korea can give more freedom to people with less harsh laws. Not much is known about North Korea so I can’t say much but I hope that people there can stay safe
I read a few accounts and watched documentaries about people who escaped from North Korea. It's definitely not the same as directly knowing people who defected but what I noticed is that most of them spoke about how they didn't feel entirely secure in China either. They said that if you get caught by the Chinese government, you are deported back to North Korea since they're diplomatic allies and that's why they also can't claim asylum in China. I can't even imagine not only the stress of living in North Korea but also of knowing that if you do escape, you have to go through a country with as much landmass as China until you can actually reach safety, knowing that your only way out is like that since there's no way of coming out alive through the DMZ.
@@floraflowers wow I never heard about china before and I feel so bad and I can’t imagine being in that position. I’d feel so isolated, scared, trapped
her life was fine but yet she just had to leave because she was soo bored of her life in NK so now her family will get the punishment for 3 generations (probably death)
@@Unknown12874 You're south Korean and you don't know that China returns defectors to nk ? How. Also there's a bunch of other countries where they're not safe cause they deport them too. Also I really do t understand this girl, she was born into a wealthy family, her life was ok. But she chose to escape and appear on video ? She really doesn't give a shit about the rest of her family.
@@akurexburners Well escaping doesn't end your family's happiness, but appearing like this in public definitely does. The only reason would be if she doesn't know much about the punishment of defecting. Which let's be honest someone in south Korea would have told her. She sentenced them all to death, or pretty much the equivalent. What a piece of shit of a human.
The fact she had to swim to get there and got arrested just to live a better life outside of North Korea just show how bad people over there really need help from living over there .
I think the reason why she considered going back was because North Korea is almost completely closed off to the outside world for citizens so she didn't know how much better other places are, and it was an unfamiliar place with a mostly unfamiliar language and culture (like he said) so if you really think about it, it makes sense, mostly
Yeah. Plus, her family was rich there so it wasn't that bad for her, she said her relatives are celebrities and news anchors in NK. Secondly defectors can get home sick too sometimes, I guess.
I was trying to see if someone mentioned this but it’s honestly so sad, in North Korea if someone from a family escaped they would enslave their family leaving them to die while working, and if the person that escaped didn’t have any family then their friends would take the family’s place in being enslaved. I’m happy that Nara is living well but I can’t stop thinking about her family and friends
Don't worry, I've heard from others that she talked with her father and brother and they're alright and the reason she left was because her mother escaped before her
i think feeling confused and the world passing by is better than feeling stressed and defeated over the face that you were born in one of the worst places
@@ragh9014 wrong I’m pretty sure she didn’t escape but she paid off the North Koreans to let her mom and her escape as it says she had to spend 10,000 dollars Also her family is fine

@@howiekim1400 Oh wow my grandfather also spent time there. It was during the Soviet Era, he lived in North Korea for 6 years for work.

Please do your part and don't support the sanctions and trade interference that the USA is creating, this is why North Korea had better living conditions than South Korea until the 80s despite its horrible geography.
Roman, that’s not true at all!!! Before the 80s , NK were still locking 3 generations of family into labor camps for whatever the crime was, that’s still worse than not having debt

So much love and respect to South Korean authorities for providing them a safe home, freedom, and choice 💜 how could two contries, just beside eachother, be years apart!
An old high school friend of mine was a North Korean defector and we took him to super Walmart. It was so overwhelming he started to cry. The stories he told makes you appreciate the little things in life we take advantage every day.

South korea has a policy of accepting each and every north korean who wants to escape, the only problem is getting there, as you probably know north koreans aren't allowed to leave the country without a special permission from the government and a very good reason to leave. You can't escape by land as the border with south korea is heavily protected and china is an ally to north korea and if you get caught in china they'll depart you back immediately and you can guess what would happen to you then

It must be stressed for her, I went to SK once and I understand what she felt. People in there not welcoming, wont help you, wont explained what kind of food it is, except you have a korean friend who know you.
My korean friends said in SK, people much colder before Gangnam style PSY trended over the world. after it's trending, the Government promotes hallyu waves to make Tourists/foreigners come to SK. Then it's better after BTS famous since 2017 until now.

"She wasn't satisfied with her life" no I'm pretty sure she heard of the outside world and she wanted that because she realized it was less strict out there
Her mom was the one who wanted her to escape since she was pretty much of a kid back then.
ehh she was pretty rich back in NK so it wasn't as bad for her, hence "she wasn't satisfied with her life" not "she suffered in North Korea"
If you watch her youtube channel, she was basically swayed by K-drama and tought all SK guys are super good looking and live in big houses 😂😂
Hence when she fought with her stepmother, she decided to go to SK where her mom is (and chase hot guys, tho soon reality come crashing down on her when she see that the male species are not much different than NK) 😂😂

Makes the most dangerous decision of her life to leave North Korea, spends a month in jail, swims across a river, hops between 4 different countries.
"Yeah, the *food labels* stress me out so I might go back to North Korea"
I didn't realize that the language between the North and South wasn't exactly the same
It is because since the division, South Korea has interacted with the world and accepted many new words, but North Korea has not. Much of the differences occurred after the division.
It's almost same. The accent and terms are little bit different but not a problem to understand and get used to. The greatest problem is North Korea prohibit the use of English words but South Korean use a lot of English words and It could make her confused.

I had a hearth attack when she said she wanted to return to North korea
Nara you Rock!! Wishing you the best my friend 🥇😎🤠🌸🎊🐰🌷
I’m South Korean but I know many people who are North Korean that also escaped. They have to cross a river without getting caught by North Korean soldiers (if your do you get killed) but if you don’t get caught you can be free as they can’t make you go to jail as South Koreans laws are different to north Koreans law (South Koreans law does not include not having north Koreans allowed)
I hope that North Korea can give more freedom to people with less harsh laws. Not much is known about North Korea so I can’t say much but I hope that people there can stay safe
I read a few accounts and watched documentaries about people who escaped from North Korea. It's definitely not the same as directly knowing people who defected but what I noticed is that most of them spoke about how they didn't feel entirely secure in China either. They said that if you get caught by the Chinese government, you are deported back to North Korea since they're diplomatic allies and that's why they also can't claim asylum in China. I can't even imagine not only the stress of living in North Korea but also of knowing that if you do escape, you have to go through a country with as much landmass as China until you can actually reach safety, knowing that your only way out is like that since there's no way of coming out alive through the DMZ.
@@floraflowers wow I never heard about china before and I feel so bad and I can’t imagine being in that position. I’d feel so isolated, scared, trapped
her life was fine but yet she just had to leave because she was soo bored of her life in NK so now her family will get the punishment for 3 generations (probably death)
@@Unknown12874 You're south Korean and you don't know that China returns defectors to nk ? How. Also there's a bunch of other countries where they're not safe cause they deport them too. Also I really do t understand this girl, she was born into a wealthy family, her life was ok. But she chose to escape and appear on video ? She really doesn't give a shit about the rest of her family.
@@akurexburners Well escaping doesn't end your family's happiness, but appearing like this in public definitely does. The only reason would be if she doesn't know much about the punishment of defecting. Which let's be honest someone in south Korea would have told her. She sentenced them all to death, or pretty much the equivalent. What a piece of shit of a human.
The fact she had to swim to get there and got arrested just to live a better life outside of North Korea just show how bad people over there really need help from living over there .
i feel bad for her family and friends : (
She should take her family with her i can't understand how she is living happily in south korea without her family
It’s honestly gonna be insane when the border finally dissolved. So many lives will be forever changed
For as long as Kim Jong Un is leader, the border will never be dissolved.
wait WHAT!
idk where you heard that the border is gonna be dissolved anytime soon, and while it might be true, I'm confused
Maybe in a few centuries
They’ll build a new one though
I think the reason why she considered going back was because North Korea is almost completely closed off to the outside world for citizens so she didn't know how much better other places are, and it was an unfamiliar place with a mostly unfamiliar language and culture (like he said) so if you really think about it, it makes sense, mostly
Yeah. Plus, her family was rich there so it wasn't that bad for her, she said her relatives are celebrities and news anchors in NK. Secondly defectors can get home sick too sometimes, I guess.
Why do I see that short only now, I know Nara for a while already. I'm following her on social media
Dude she is gorgeous 🤩
"Oh shit I don't know this brand of chips"

Lmfaoo
Dang i don't know what brand of toilet paper this is, how am i gonna know if its soft 😔😔
pretty sure it's because the language is slightly different
I was trying to see if someone mentioned this but it’s honestly so sad, in North Korea if someone from a family escaped they would enslave their family leaving them to die while working, and if the person that escaped didn’t have any family then their friends would take the family’s place in being enslaved. I’m happy that Nara is living well but I can’t stop thinking about her family and friends
