My cousin and I lived in the Republic of Korea for quite some time; my father was a servicemen stationed mostly in Busan and I've had relationships with Korean and Korean-American women; my cousin was married and had children with a Korean Woman. I came to this conclusion through personal observations. Plastic surgery seems a lot more common for men and women on the peninsula compared with countries like Japan. One of my coworkers did a class activity of Korean stars before-and-after plastic surgery pictures. Seems popular with vloggers from the area as well. My ex girlfriend along with vloggers I've seen underwent a procedure on their eyelids. Looks unnatural to me. It's a shame because most Korean women are natually beautiful.
      I thought it would be more common in American women.

      @Alexandra Bălinișteanu I think a lot of people would rather die than make so many other people die just for the fact of knowing them. And for what? What kind of life does she have with such a husband? She had a choice. There's always a choice. It's just a really hard one, but the fact that you don't like it doesn't mean you don't have a choice. I think deep down inside she knows she made the wrong one. She probably still suffers all these years, so it didn't make any sense to sacrifice so many innocent lives for it. At least all those people would be alive and their families and friends wouldn't suffer such a loss.

    It would be interesting to learn about the status and value of women in North Korean society. It seems that it is patriarchal and women fill a chattel or “possession” role. Do they have many choices? Do families arrange marriages? Is there any dating culture? Everything seems survival based due to lack of food/resources.

    North Korea is even worse than I originally thought, and I have read widely on the subject. Keonmi, you are a wonderful young woman and you are doing the North Korean people a remarkable service by exposing this truly evil regime. It would be so easy for you to fade into the background but I can tell how much you love your fellow countrymen and women. Why some idiotic people in the West still believe in socialism is an enigma I’ll never understand. Keonmi, you deserve every happiness this world has to offer. I’m sure the FBI are looking out for you and your family. America, like England, has many faults but I know you will have the opportunity to be truly happy and free there. You and your family deserve nothing less. 💝

      Socialism as an economical ideology /is not/ bad

      Disability checks and welfare programs? Minimun wages? That's all socialism and for some people it spells the difference between life and death
