I'm ashamed of myself for taking for granted all things American. This woman and others like her are truly remarkable. Selfishly, this amazing story makes me want to be a better person and help others.
Don’t be. It is human nature. Just because your suffering can’t compare to hers doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter... I doubt she'd believe such. We really can’t appreciate anything as much as we will when it is gone. And when we compare our lives we see horrid suffering like this as well as people living in absolute luxury. Of course we are closer to the quality of life a Billionaire lives opposed to what she endured but everyone's life is a series of tragedies. While it is always good to keep it all in perspective, feeling shame because our pain can’t possible match theirs doesn’t help her, probably doesn’t help yourself beyond acknowledging it.
Her telling the story about not being able to say goodbye to their family is beyond upsetting because she absolutely knows her father was tortured without mercy to get some answers out of him
there are thousands of people escaping NK - which much more than Soviet Union - some of them...more than once!! this indicates somewhat relaxed attitude of that state to illegal border crossing, let us face it
Conversations like this is the reason why this podcast is important. We'd never hear this type of story told this detailed without interruption in any mainstream news outlets.
My family crossed the Mekong under starless night to avoid being shot escaping Laos 40 years ago, I was 6 months old. this story is too close to my heart and only ask that people empathize with stories like hers.
China, not far from it...esp when returning citizens go back, they're aren't aloud back out. There a video about that on UA-cam a while back regarding that story.
Imagine trying to keep power yet feed millions when you don’t have food or money to buy enough food only choice is to make em stay if you give em freedom they will leave what normal human with free choice chooses no food no running water and death it would be impossible to run a free nation with no food and stuff for people to work for and buy no one now a days is gonna work for food alone if they have had wifi and microwave meals I’m gonna want something I can buy stuff with
I will not be surprised if some of the more horrific story still have not been told, like cannibalism or something... imagine if you have no food for long time your brain will be your worst enemy, every source of food you can think of, even the corpses...
If you give them freedom they don't have to leave. They will make another Korea. It's the same people and culture as the South. As soon as South Korea relaxed their laws they got really rich.
My grandfather was able to escape north korea during the war. I owe my life to this man, if it wasn't for him I never would have been able to be born here in America. I appreciate him and the fact that I have the privilege of being born in such a great country 🇺🇸 even though most people here does not appreciate what they have.
People here are privileged enough to be ignorant of the harsh realities of the world. So many Americans don’t know how good they have it. Our poorest live like kings compared to most other countries.
each country has its own ways oppression some more blatant more cruel than others. the problem is wherever you are you subject to that country's agenda whether you agree or not. for a standard of living yes the USA is better than the others but this does not mean for other minorities that experience police brutality or racism
@@SixStringSicario you can’t watch the podcast on PlayStation or Xbox. You can only listen to it which makes no sense. I’m don’t want to watch a 4 hour podcast on my phone. I want it on the TV and now I can’t fucking do that
She said in another interview that when she was sold the guy asked her to be his mistress and she agreed on the one condition that he would help bring her family together. So the guy ended up bringing her dad and mom together.
I saw an interview where she said after they got to China they couldn’t take him to a hospital and he ended up dying because of all he went through in the prison camp
@@LionHGH Congrats on pushing the narrative that north korea's not as bad or crazy as she (who was a kid when it happened) has claimed. You have no right to even call into question, with an article that's been consistently disproven, the story of someone who was terrified for her life like this.
@@dylanjeffery2427 KIX is a socialist/Commie. Can you believe these people live in the USA ? And want USA to become socialist. So USA becomes the next N Korea / Nazi germany . Life must be that bad for some
I live in Malaysia and I read your book "In Order to Live". I could not finish reading although I could have done it in just two weeks. Your story is very heart-breaking. You are the strongest woman I ever known.
I absolutely adore Yeonmi Park. She escaped N. Korea, survived being a refugee in China, made it to the western world, and learned the ridiculous English language. There’s way more to her story than that though. Way more! What a gorgeous, badass woman. I’m so goddamn grateful that I am fortunate enough to be born and raised in the United States. And so thankful that she made it out of there alive. The fact that she now fights to free others is mind boggling to say the least. Incredible!!She might deserve “Woman of the Century” for all of that. Astoundingly impressive.
True. Though a lot of governments are slowly chipping away at these freedoms and leading us in that direction, even in developed western countries. Take the US for example which has for-profit prisons locking people up for minor offences making them work for cheap, or Australia which uses its police force to intimidate, assault and arrest journalists that criticise or report about corrupt politicians. It's almost like humans aren't capable of being trusted with power, and no civilised country is able to maintain its freedoms forever.
Except they’re starting to take away our freedoms already. It started with the Electoral college, and now the vaccine mandates and IRS getting a bit too frisky.
@@thetechconsultant you’re missing the point. This is literally what the initial comment is talking about 🤦😭😂. Americans complain about offensive words, vaccine mandates, somewhat strict laws because of the lack of perception. It’s so much privilege. Also, other vaccines have been mandated such as flu, measles, mumps, and tetanus shots. U probably had them as a kid, in order to attend school.
I’ve been a following her for years, it still amazes me how many people dismiss her story because she chose to profit off it and share, like if it’s not something that is necessary for the cause. We need more people like her that become well known and share there story, no matter who she was trained or taught by, this is a person who has seen some sh*t you can’t even begin to comprehend. There is darkness and true evil in this world and the fact that people choose to ignore it and instead spread more hate and evil is just beyond me.
People that say she's doing this for profit are smooth brained. She's the voice of a very few. Her story is of value and she deserves the riches. People suck ass
I believe if any people are allowed to profit, its legendary people like her who truly understand pain and suffering....I think the reason people often make that statement is because 90% of people who profit out of stuff...are decietful....she deserves every penny she gets and I pray she lives the rest of her days in luxury and most importantly with love and happiness!❤❤❤
A lot of the stuff that she talks about is made up bullshit. The story she tells changes every time. I wouldn’t be surprised if 90% of stuff she tells is made up. She is definitely only doing this for money
she has such an amazing calming voice and speaks English beautifully. This poor woman has been through so much, I'm hoping she was able to connect with her father again.
I can't even begin to imagine the horrific experience she has been through. So glad she is speaking out and bringing awareness to these atrocities that still exist today.
Why don't you begin to imagine the horror stories that Latin American migrants can tell about why they left their countries. Horrific stuff happening in America's back yard.
Yeonmi’s channel is great. I learned so much from her and I’m truly happy for her. I grew up in poverty and struggled a lot, but eventually became successful. However, my poverty and Yeonmi’s poverty are in two totally different realms. I really commend her and her story is inspirational.
Heard the entire podcast - I have never been so on edge and both fascinated & terrified at the same time. I wish her an amazing peaceful life after all that she went through. Heartbreaking to know, that there are many other people who are currently experiencing what she experienced.
@@appl3.149 Gosh she just wants to look good, every woman wants to look good. I dont think she cant enjoy some western stuff and fit in. If you watch the Jordan Peterson podcast, you can tell she isnt " Americanized" and actually questions a lot of things.
it is! are people just finding out how bad NK is? I don't get how this is the first time people are finding out about NK? its crazy I mean NK has been evil for decades now
"And there was a boy in sewer... and he was eating the rat... and the rat was eating the dog... and the dog was eating me... but I was runned away... and it was so bad... and then the police shot the dog... and the dog raped the boy... and then the rat shot the police... and then you have to eat the police... but the dog was eating the rat... and my grandmother ate the police... and the police turned the dog into lampshade... but the eat raped the police... and now my grandmother is dead inside lampshade dog..." "Wow"
My grandfather was drafted into the army during the Korean War. He is 90 now. It’s so sad that things are still so terrible for the people on North Korea.
this episode made me realize that my problems are nothing compared to stories like her, glad she was strong to tell it all and grateful she’s here alive and well after what she went through
I read Yenomi’s autobiography this past summer and cried through most of it. She suffered and endured a horrific childhood, living under an evil regime. I am so thankful to God she escaped and is finally free. I encourage everyone to read her book: “In Order to Live”
@@Chris971. What’s the point even if she was lying about these being her experiences? People need to know what’s going on in NK. I’ve known for a long time how inhumane the situation in NK is because I had a teacher that would go there twice a year to smuggle rice in to feed the hungry people. Everything she said is true and actually happening. Even if she didn’t experience some of these things herself it doesn’t matter. She’s not doing this for her she clearly is trying to raise awareness about NK to save her people
there's literally thousands of more stories that are even worse! are people just finding out how bad NK is? I don't get how this is the first time people are finding out about NK? its crazy I mean NK has been evil for decades now
I agree, it's surprising how many comments of people saying how horrible NK is, like they are JUST now finding out about it just because some *pretty* NK girl is saying it on JR'S podcast? All the rest of us have known about how notorious NK has been for decades now...
Yes, and now they're hunting his son: "Kim Han-sol". He's currently protected by the CIA and none knows where he is. They want to kill him because he is the real heir of North Korea. And he wants to end dictatorship. He is the "purest" from a dinasty standpoint. That's because Kim jong-un is half japanese while his father, Kim Jong-nam, wasn't (they were half-brothers). As Kim family members are referred as "God Entities"... the fact that Kim Jong-un is "less pure" makes a big difference for the people there. Basically they're brainwashed kinda like in Attack on Titan.
"I thought that like, if I go where the lights were, we would be finding some bowl of rice..." It is moments like this that really make me stop and think about how lucky I am.
Imagine the yearning for freedom from a regime like this, it must be the ultimate desire to escape to a place you haven't dreamed of. Forget the countries that just let you go and don't care. What about the ones that don't let you go. You're in their prison and they own you as far as their concern.
I listened to the 3+ hours on Joe's podcast. I was completely shocked!!! I had absolutely no idea anything like this was going on. HOW DO WE MAKE THIS STOP!!!!!!!
I’ve watched many documentaries about people who managed to escape North Korea and those who succeeded are extremely lucky because most are not able to make it and most are unfortunately caught and sent back to North Korea and killed for defecting but hopefully those that did survive have a much better life with freedom and never have to suffer that pain ever again ❤️
@@col.hanslanda2013 she is not lying. You are. You know how I know? Her story is not unique. You know how else i know? You offer no evidence except a state sponsored broadcast. No.
She looks nothing like what she used too. I find it interesting that it didn't take that long for her to get fake boobs and a couple plastic surgeries since getting out of nokor. And no, i don't think there's anything wrong with fake boobs and shiet. People can do whatever they want.
She’s been talking about this for several years and it’s her life’s work to bring this to light now. Earlier on she was very emotional and you can tell it’s still painful, but she has told her story so much that she has more control over her emotions.
@Bob Watters I knew about this back in the 1990s. Shows the absolute state of education in the western world and the western media. You know China is doing the same thing at the moment to the Uighurs. People still buying Chinese products and trading with them. Hollywood still taking chinse money and then protesting climate change to seem progressive. The place is a fucken circus.
I'm glad the world is hearing her story. There's a Korean show called "On My Way to Meet You" which covers these topics with North Korean escapees...10's of thousands of people with similar stories of being captured in China, then sent back to North Korea to torture camps.
It's very cathartic. I recommend also listening to her interview on China Uncensored, where she and the hosts get into some more thematic content. ua-cam.com/video/8hA_tGLWlFw/v-deo.html
She's duplicitous. I've always had issues with her "story". She's been on YT for years and I never felt right about her. Her mom was a government worker. I've seen all those pics. They would have been considered upper class citizens over there.
Chinese communists are sin full force, trying to convince you that being a slave is preferable to freedom. Don’t fall for that. Please. Keep your mind open. I know that liberals are more likely to ignore these red flags, but this woman is speaking the truth. It’s a truth that is Mexicans face. We’re forced to be drug dealers in order to not be executed. I know right wingers will say this is fake, but it’s the realized face. I wouldn’t say this shit if it we why true.
I didn’t feel like downloading Spotify but I watched Tim Pool’s interview with her witch tells the same story. What a roller coaster of emotions, this woman is incredible
I came from the Spotify full episode after seeing this beautiful lady on flagrant.. Her story is absolutely heartbreaking I’ve never feel more for a stranger.. so I just came to say even do she will probably never see this.. I hope she knows that she is a very brave and beautiful women .. and I would Literly kill to protect a soul like this.. keep on fighting love.. if an average Joe like me could do something I would in a heartbeat
Have to love UA-cam. Listening to her story here and other from other interviews and it’s gut wrenching. What do some commenters come away with , she has a big chest ! Wow !
Saw this woman on another interview a while back. Truly one of the most remarkable stories I've ever heard from anyone! I was hoping Joe would get a chance to talk to her as well.
If you can get past Tim Pools insufferable personality, he interviewed her and it was eye opening! Along with the brave woman Lilly he interviewed last night. It brought a tear to my eye to see how passionate and patriotic she is.
@@viktorcheng2061 So she a goofy chick. Someone who ran from home, talking about Black people who built the nation she fled to. I don’t care where she is from, being anti Black will not be tolerated.
@@bellingdog my friend was listening to this and he’s listened to a lot of podcasts because he’s a postal worker and he said this was the first one to make him tear up and change his perspective on life
People like you crack me up coming across grifters like Miss Park this late in the game. So, I'll get you caught up. I first came across this broad 4 years ago all by myself on UA-cam. She's duplicitous. I've always had issues with her "story". She's been on YT for years and I never felt right about her. Her mother worked for the government over there and they would have been what you would call upper class by DPRK standards. This chick lived a life of extreme privilege and has been grifting on YT since they left. What has never been made clear is exactly why they left. But I promise you it didn't have a thing to do with an empty stomach. ua-cam.com/video/8hPSQxp701o/v-deo.html
@@chino9927 Don't say you weren't warned. The rabbit hole is deep and well traveled on her. You'll find far more than that link I posted in your search, but that guy did a great job of summing her and her mother up. Good luck!
I'm just listening to this now. It's fucking heartbreaking to think that people are living like this in this day and age. She is almost in tears several times throughout the interview. It's gut wrenching.
*She is the biggest fake around!! Why hasn’t she got an Oscar for Best Actress yet?* There are a few extremely professional & extremely convincing acts compared to Ms Park's efforts. Many people are suspicious and think she might be just a pawn, and it happens a lot in America once you gather a huge number of followers on Twitter or UA-cam or whatever… I read her story and seen videos of her talking about her escape from north korea. One day she might be able to keep her stories straight. She has a habit of changing key parts every time she yaps in from of people. Most people tend to remember things like their parents deaths etc… in her stories they always change. At the bottom of the issue is a conflict of interest--she, and other NK defectors, have a financial stake in fabricating or exaggerating their experiences because the conservative market of speakers will pay more for sensational stories. Unless they find a way to crosscheck and verify their own claims, I'm always taking their words with plenty grains of salt. Everyone knows the old saying "You shouldn't Judge a book by it;s cover etc......." True as it may , BUT, Just couldn't help noticing how fake her overall persona/presentation is ......... Her rather expressive tones & tears, ... or she dressed up nicely and dolly/innocent look in that traditonal Korean outfit was rather .... fake / trying tooooo hard perhaps etc..... Yeonmi Park is just spreading propaganda at this point. She's doing it for the views, likes and ad-revenue only. Nowadays on her channel, you see videos that there is a random uprising in North Korea, random coup here, people are angry, etc. But when you search for the sources either there are no sources & evidence regarding her claims or she only has access to same "news sources"/rumours like we do (She's not living in NK anymore). She's repeating content, making false claims too. She's milking it as long as people keep giving her money. Next year she's going to add how they met Kim Jung Un and he helped them escape. A lot of what the West says about North Korea is pure rubbish. US media could claim something completely outrageous like North Koreans execute babies by feeding them to sharks with the only reference being an “anonymous source”, yet people will believe it all uncritically. And Totally much more plausible that the trillion dollars pumped in propaganda in the west are connected to that chick's shady bullshit stories. *Imagine you actually realizing what you've been told has all been fantastic tales!!*
*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."* Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story. Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression. Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media. The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent. She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood. She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries. They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go : "But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person..............But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

This is the first time I listened to a full 3hr podcast and oh boy I didn't even notice time passing. It's better than the Bob Lazar one and that was about fricking aliens. I really recommend everyone to just listen to the first 10 mins of this thing and I promise you'll continue. Apart from her story, they cover almost every relevant topic - The problems of north Korea is obvious, but also the problems of America and her own perspective. For her this country is the heaven she desired and how it is now showing similar signs as that of her previous country. I had tears by the end and I think even Joe had difficulty maintaining his composure in the last scene. Really loved it and definitely this has changed my life.
Thank you for commenting. Joe & Yeonmi have positively awesome communication chemistry. Listening to her story uncountable times always enlivens me to do what I can do, so when you say it changed your life, why not share what steps you will take in that new life? Seriously.... The Y Parks story is going to rival Rosa Parks in the history of America. Yet getting to understand deeply the reality of this horrific scenario is only the jumping off part. As Joe says only she can tell her story, but we can all process it internally as something very very urgent to be concerned about as humans. YP. " Only hope is with INDIVIDUALS". So my part now is to do the most I can to spread not only awareness but solutions. YP. may not embrace my efforts, but I don't care, because I am an individual. My heart says to discuss and question others as to what they as individuals are doing. Thank you very much.

True. Incredible, yes, but she had lots of luck. That she made it out of NK at all is lucky. That she made it out of the sex trafficking China is lucky. That she everyday made to the US to tell her story and achieve celebrity status is incredibly lucky. Had it not been for her mother and father's love and sacrifice she wouldn't be here at all.
She was interviewed along with her mother on south Korean tv.Her mother said they never suffered from hunger,they were well off.Check into her,she is not what she seems.
@@daviddeida I have read yeonmis book and her life growing up was very up and down when it came to survival, there were moments where they were well off compared to other North Koreans due to her father getting involved in trafficking goods from China so that him and his family could survive but when her father was arrested this income vanished. I feel like there was a sense of pride from her mother in her saying that they didn’t starve. If I recall the main reason Yeonmi decided to do that South Korean television show was to find her sister. I would 100% recommend you read Yeonmis book to get the full picture if you haven’t already done so.
Listened to this yesterday at work and was entirely hooked the entire time , one of my favorite podcast episodes , very heartfelt, educational and inspiring
Park then goes on to point out the top and chequered pants her mother is wearing “were all imported from Japan” and adds, “My mum even carried around a Chanel bag in North Korea,” to which the host responds incredulously, “There are Chanel bags in North Korea?” Park tells him there are and he then asks another woman if she’d classify Park’s family as “rich.” The woman answers, “Yes, that’s right.”
@Sam Farza Except this time she is not risen from hell. She came from privilege. Watch her earliest appearances on South Korean television. Chanel bags, Paris Hilton of North Korea she is been known for. Now she is milking this "celebrity defector" fame for so much money. She is already a multi multi millionaire.
It is a crime against humanity that such a beautiful thing can have such terrible memories And land mines. LAND MINES, on top of everything, are waiting for any defectors. Not that such a thing is even possible now anyway, but the level of crazy that North Korea is guilty of is...well...crazy. She is indeed a brave and beautiful woman. My prayers go out to her.
wait how will it change the world? are people just finding out how bad NK is? I don't get how this is the first time people are finding out about NK? its crazy I mean NK has been evil for decades now
@@jacksevert3099 There is a difference between having a vague idea about NK being a fascist regime and actually knowing the brutal details of just one person’s story. Putting faces on the horrors is how people begin to care. “Starvation and execution is rampant in North Korea.” and “I saw a teenage boy with his organs hanging out of his back begging for food, next to a river full of bodies with their eyes eaten hollow by rats.” don’t have equal impact. One is much more visceral than the other, and evokes a deeper reaction on the part of the listener. I still don’t think this will change the world in any way, but it certainly isn’t a waste of time.
That's why they shoot them bcs you need insight I don't know why "especially needed in this times" you need more spy's who will sell everything what they know,now reverse and what if American run in N.Korea he will be last piece of shit how much heat Rodman get just for go there few days! Americans always blindsided,how look on Snowden traitor bcs show that government spy everyone and thanks for that was run save your head when is opposite situation this are hero's! I don't fall how they are good but left father to die I will never live my family take one and other left to be tortured bcs they watch and yt and CNN and when see her how talk worst about country her father is dead
wait what's the historical significance of it? are you really just finding out how bad NK is??? I don't get it is this the first time people are finding out about NK?
@@jacksevert3099100’s of millions of people hearing about the atrocities of North Korea from somebody who lived it isn’t historically significant? oh it’s because you already knew about it so that makes it less significant, got it 👍
@@jacksevert3099 it’s not. Many people hear about what’s going on and dismiss much of it western propaganda, this is someone who lived it and is telling her story to 100s of millions of people. But yeah you go ahead and downplay that and try and make people feel bad for not knowing something that you already knew. You’re pathetic if that makes you feel superior
*She is the biggest fake around!! Why hasn’t she got an Oscar for Best Actress yet?* There are a few extremely professional & extremely convincing acts compared to Ms Park's efforts. Many people are suspicious and think she might be just a pawn, and it happens a lot in America once you gather a huge number of followers on Twitter or UA-cam or whatever… I read her story and seen videos of her talking about her escape from north korea. One day she might be able to keep her stories straight. She has a habit of changing key parts every time she yaps in from of people. Most people tend to remember things like their parents deaths etc… in her stories they always change. At the bottom of the issue is a conflict of interest--she, and other NK defectors, have a financial stake in fabricating or exaggerating their experiences because the conservative market of speakers will pay more for sensational stories. Unless they find a way to crosscheck and verify their own claims, I'm always taking their words with plenty grains of salt. Everyone knows the old saying "You shouldn't Judge a book by it;s cover etc......." True as it may , BUT, Just couldn't help noticing how fake her overall persona/presentation is ......... Her rather expressive tones & tears, ... or she dressed up nicely and dolly/innocent look in that traditonal Korean outfit was rather .... fake / trying tooooo hard perhaps etc..... Yeonmi Park is just spreading propaganda at this point. She's doing it for the views, likes and ad-revenue only. Nowadays on her channel, you see videos that there is a random uprising in North Korea, random coup here, people are angry, etc. But when you search for the sources either there are no sources & evidence regarding her claims or she only has access to same "news sources"/rumours like we do (She's not living in NK anymore). She's repeating content, making false claims too. She's milking it as long as people keep giving her money. Next year she's going to add how they met Kim Jung Un and he helped them escape. A lot of what the West says about North Korea is pure rubbish. US media could claim something completely outrageous like North Koreans execute babies by feeding them to sharks with the only reference being an “anonymous source”, yet people will believe it all uncritically. And Totally much more plausible that the trillion dollars pumped in propaganda in the west are connected to that chick's shady bullshit stories. *Imagine you actually realizing what you've been told has all been fantastic tales!!*
*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."* Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story. Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression. Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media. The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent. She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood. She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries. They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go : "But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person..............But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

I'm ashamed of myself for taking for granted all things American. This woman and others like her are truly remarkable. Selfishly, this amazing story makes me want to be a better person and help others.
Don’t be. It is human nature. Just because your suffering can’t compare to hers doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter... I doubt she'd believe such.
We really can’t appreciate anything as much as we will when it is gone.
And when we compare our lives we see horrid suffering like this as well as people living in absolute luxury.
Of course we are closer to the quality of life a Billionaire lives opposed to what she endured but everyone's life is a series of tragedies. While it is always good to keep it all in perspective, feeling shame because our pain can’t possible match theirs doesn’t help her, probably doesn’t help yourself beyond acknowledging it.
You are a bit late to the party but yea she really stuck her neck out
dont compare your problems. just live your life to the fullest
We all do.... unfortunately.
we should
Her telling the story about not being able to say goodbye to their family is beyond upsetting because she absolutely knows her father was tortured without mercy to get some answers out of him
he probably wasn't tortured or she would not have endangered her father
there are thousands of people escaping NK - which much more than Soviet Union - some of them...more than once!! this indicates somewhat relaxed attitude of that state to illegal border crossing, let us face it

“There is No escape possible. The entire country (N.Korea) is a concentration camp!”
China, not far from it...esp when returning citizens go back, they're aren't aloud back out. There a video about that on UA-cam a while back regarding that story.
Imagine trying to keep power yet feed millions when you don’t have food or money to buy enough food only choice is to make em stay if you give em freedom they will leave what normal human with free choice chooses no food no running water and death it would be impossible to run a free nation with no food and stuff for people to work for and buy no one now a days is gonna work for food alone if they have had wifi and microwave meals I’m gonna want something I can buy stuff with
I will not be surprised if some of the more horrific story still have not been told, like cannibalism or something... imagine if you have no food for long time your brain will be your worst enemy, every source of food you can think of, even the corpses...
If you give them freedom they don't have to leave. They will make another Korea.
It's the same people and culture as the South. As soon as South Korea relaxed their laws they got really rich.
My grandfather was able to escape north korea during the war. I owe my life to this man, if it wasn't for him I never would have been able to be born here in America.

I absolutely adore Yeonmi Park. She escaped N. Korea, survived being a refugee in China, made it to the western world, and learned the ridiculous English language. There’s way more to her story than that though. Way more! What a gorgeous, badass woman. I’m so goddamn grateful that I am fortunate enough to be born and raised in the United States. And so thankful that she made it out of there alive. The fact that she now fights to free others is mind boggling to say the least.

Majority of us are truly blessed to live in countries where we can complain about it and not worry about our family dying in a concentration camp
True. Though a lot of governments are slowly chipping away at these freedoms and leading us in that direction, even in developed western countries. Take the US for example which has for-profit prisons locking people up for minor offences making them work for cheap, or Australia which uses its police force to intimidate, assault and arrest journalists that criticise or report about corrupt politicians.
It's almost like humans aren't capable of being trusted with power, and no civilised country is able to maintain its freedoms forever.
The unvaxed need to worry.
Except they’re starting to take away our freedoms already. It started with the Electoral college, and now the vaccine mandates and IRS getting a bit too frisky.
Coming to a country near you soon unless you get an experimental medical procedure
@@thetechconsultant you’re missing the point. This is literally what the initial comment is talking about 🤦😭😂. Americans complain about offensive words, vaccine mandates, somewhat strict laws because of the lack of perception. It’s so much privilege.
Also, other vaccines have been mandated such as flu, measles, mumps, and tetanus shots. U probably had them as a kid, in order to attend school.
I’ve been a following her for years, it still amazes me how many people dismiss her story because she chose to profit off it and share, like if it’s not something that is necessary for the cause. We need more people like her that become well known and share there story, no matter who she was trained or taught by, this is a person who has seen some sh*t you can’t even begin to comprehend. There is darkness and true evil in this world and the fact that people choose to ignore it and instead spread more hate and evil is just beyond me.
People that say she's doing this for profit are smooth brained. She's the voice of a very few. Her story is of value and she deserves the riches. People suck ass
I believe if any people are allowed to profit, its legendary people like her who truly understand pain and suffering....I think the reason people often make that statement is because 90% of people who profit out of stuff...are decietful....she deserves every penny she gets and I pray she lives the rest of her days in luxury and most importantly with love and happiness!❤❤❤

I think another North Korean defector got kidnapped from South Korea by the North Korean spies a few years ago.
They managed to kill Kim’s brother in an airport I think.
Yes, and now they're hunting his son: "Kim Han-sol".
He's currently protected by the CIA and none knows where he is.
They want to kill him because he is the real heir of North Korea. And he wants to end dictatorship.
He is the "purest" from a dinasty standpoint.
That's because Kim jong-un is half japanese while his father, Kim Jong-nam, wasn't (they were half-brothers).
As Kim family members are referred as "God Entities"... the fact that Kim Jong-un is "less pure" makes a big difference for the people there.

@Bob Watters I knew about this back in the 1990s. Shows the absolute state of education in the western world and the western media. You know China is doing the same thing at the moment to the Uighurs. People still buying Chinese products and trading with them. Hollywood still taking chinse money and then protesting climate change to seem progressive. The place is a fucken circus.
I’ve been following her channel for about 8 months now. Ordered her book and it’s informative to say the least. She’s a strong woman.
Now I have to watch the full interview on SPOTIFY
I'm glad the world is hearing her story. There's a Korean show called "On My Way to Meet You" which covers these topics with North Korean escapees...10's of thousands of people with similar stories of being captured in China, then sent back to North Korea to torture camps.

She’s remarkable, she was on Fox News saying that the critical race theory is the same as the indoctrination in North Korea.

@chemically challenged literally impossible for the US to ever become like this. Use your brain.
@chemically challenged now that is one braindead comment
*She is the biggest fake around!! Why hasn’t she got an Oscar for Best Actress yet?*
There are a few extremely professional & extremely convincing acts compared to Ms Park's efforts. Many people are suspicious and think she might be just a pawn, and it happens a lot in America once you gather a huge number of followers on Twitter or UA-cam or whatever…
I read her story and seen videos of her talking about her escape from north korea. One day she might be able to keep her stories straight. She has a habit of changing key parts every time she yaps in from of people. Most people tend to remember things like their parents deaths etc… in her stories they always change.
At the bottom of the issue is a conflict of interest--she, and other NK defectors, have a financial stake in fabricating or exaggerating their experiences because the conservative market of speakers will pay more for sensational stories. Unless they find a way to crosscheck and verify their own claims, I'm always taking their words with plenty grains of salt.
Everyone knows the old saying "You shouldn't Judge a book by it;s cover etc......." True as it may , BUT, Just couldn't help noticing how fake her overall persona/presentation is ......... Her rather expressive tones & tears, ... or she dressed up nicely and dolly/innocent look in that traditonal Korean outfit was rather .... fake / trying tooooo hard perhaps etc.....
Yeonmi Park is just spreading propaganda at this point. She's doing it for the views, likes and ad-revenue only. Nowadays on her channel, you see videos that there is a random uprising in North Korea, random coup here, people are angry, etc. But when you search for the sources either there are no sources & evidence regarding her claims or she only has access to same "news sources"/rumours like we do (She's not living in NK anymore). She's repeating content, making false claims too. She's milking it as long as people keep giving her money. Next year she's going to add how they met Kim Jung Un and he helped them escape.
A lot of what the West says about North Korea is pure rubbish. US media could claim something completely outrageous like North Koreans execute babies by feeding them to sharks with the only reference being an “anonymous source”, yet people will believe it all uncritically. And Totally much more plausible that the trillion dollars pumped in propaganda in the west are connected to that chick's shady bullshit stories.
*Imagine you actually realizing what you've been told has all been fantastic tales!!*
*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."*
Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story.
Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression.
Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media.
The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent.
She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood.
She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries.
They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go :
"But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person..............But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

Apart from her story, they cover almost every relevant topic - The problems of north Korea is obvious, but also the problems of America and her own perspective. For her this country is the heaven she desired and how it is now showing similar signs as that of her previous country. I had tears by the end and I think even Joe had difficulty maintaining his composure in the last scene. Really loved it and definitely this has changed my life.
Thank you for commenting. Joe & Yeonmi have positively awesome communication chemistry. Listening to her story uncountable times always enlivens me to do what I can do, so when you say it changed your life, why not share what steps you will take in that new life? Seriously.... The Y Parks story is going to rival Rosa Parks in the history of America.
Yet getting to understand deeply the reality of this horrific scenario is only the jumping off part. As Joe says only she can tell her story, but we can all process it internally as something very very urgent to be concerned about as humans.

wait how will it change the world? are people just finding out how bad NK is? I don't get how this is the first time people are finding out about NK? its crazy I mean NK has been evil for decades now
@@jacksevert3099 that's the influence Rogan has on pop culture these days.
@@thomasjamesconnolly4350 you seem like a sheep then who is controlled by the media like JRE. Truly sad how ignorant people are
Doubt. Nothing said here hasn’t been spoken about before. This won’t change anything.
@@jacksevert3099 There is a difference between having a vague idea about NK being a fascist regime and actually knowing the brutal details of just one person’s story. Putting faces on the horrors is how people begin to care.
“Starvation and execution is rampant in North Korea.” and “I saw a teenage boy with his organs hanging out of his back begging for food, next to a river full of bodies with their eyes eaten hollow by rats.” don’t have equal impact. One is much more visceral than the other, and evokes a deeper reaction on the part of the listener.
I still don’t think this will change the world in any way, but it certainly isn’t a waste of time.
Joe itching to tell her about the benefits of sensory deprivation Tanks throughout this...
These aren't funny anymore...give it up
Hay this was super funny and if you disagree you probably have no friends. Good joke!!
LOL
Joe wanting to ask her if there was elk meat in N Korea
@@ryanenglish8047 write something funny. Or GTFO...spotify employee.
Omg this an eye opener forrealz .
going read her book
So glad she made it here
Yeonmi is a hero and survivor. Someone whose insight is especially needed in these times.
Yes. Exactly.
And huh.. not like there arent other people who are trying to escape terrible situations..and fleeing their home land.
@@jenh9426 So much empathy.
Also her mom: We never got to the point of starvation.
That's why they shoot them bcs you need insight I don't know why "especially needed in this times" you need more spy's who will sell everything what they know,now reverse and what if American run in N.Korea he will be last piece of shit how much heat Rodman get just for go there few days! Americans always blindsided,how look on Snowden traitor bcs show that government spy everyone and thanks for that was run save your head when is opposite situation this are hero's! I don't fall how they are good but left father to die I will never live my family take one and other left to be tortured bcs they watch and yt and CNN and when see her how talk worst about country her father is dead
This is likely to be one of joe rogans most historically significant interviews change my mind
I wouldn’t dream of it. This was the most insightful episode he’s ever done, most important in this day and age
wait what's the historical significance of it? are you really just finding out how bad NK is??? I don't get it is this the first time people are finding out about NK?
@@jacksevert3099100’s of millions of people hearing about the atrocities of North Korea from somebody who lived it isn’t historically significant? oh it’s because you already knew about it so that makes it less significant, got it 👍
@@M1XEDBAG North Korea has been around for over 50 years! Millions upon millions already know!!! How is this the first for you???
@@jacksevert3099 it’s not. Many people hear about what’s going on and dismiss much of it western propaganda, this is someone who lived it and is telling her story to 100s of millions of people. But yeah you go ahead and downplay that and try and make people feel bad for not knowing something that you already knew. You’re pathetic if that makes you feel superior
Podcast like this is highly appreciated 🔥.... ❤️ from INDIA 🇮🇳...
Can’t believe ppl are buying her crap
Ok Kim Jung Un
Listen to the whole Spotify episode, will seriously put your life in perspective.
I was waiting for this guest to come on the show for quite a long time finally she's getting some more recognition she deserves
Is she the same 1 that was on tim pool?
@@Burke396 yes and Lex Fridman
What are you talking about? She's been in the spotlight in South Korea for years.
*She is the biggest fake around!! Why hasn’t she got an Oscar for Best Actress yet?*
There are a few extremely professional & extremely convincing acts compared to Ms Park's efforts. Many people are suspicious and think she might be just a pawn, and it happens a lot in America once you gather a huge number of followers on Twitter or UA-cam or whatever…
I read her story and seen videos of her talking about her escape from north korea. One day she might be able to keep her stories straight. She has a habit of changing key parts every time she yaps in from of people. Most people tend to remember things like their parents deaths etc… in her stories they always change.
At the bottom of the issue is a conflict of interest--she, and other NK defectors, have a financial stake in fabricating or exaggerating their experiences because the conservative market of speakers will pay more for sensational stories. Unless they find a way to crosscheck and verify their own claims, I'm always taking their words with plenty grains of salt.
Everyone knows the old saying "You shouldn't Judge a book by it;s cover etc......." True as it may , BUT, Just couldn't help noticing how fake her overall persona/presentation is ......... Her rather expressive tones & tears, ... or she dressed up nicely and dolly/innocent look in that traditonal Korean outfit was rather .... fake / trying tooooo hard perhaps etc.....
Yeonmi Park is just spreading propaganda at this point. She's doing it for the views, likes and ad-revenue only. Nowadays on her channel, you see videos that there is a random uprising in North Korea, random coup here, people are angry, etc. But when you search for the sources either there are no sources & evidence regarding her claims or she only has access to same "news sources"/rumours like we do (She's not living in NK anymore). She's repeating content, making false claims too. She's milking it as long as people keep giving her money. Next year she's going to add how they met Kim Jung Un and he helped them escape.
A lot of what the West says about North Korea is pure rubbish. US media could claim something completely outrageous like North Koreans execute babies by feeding them to sharks with the only reference being an “anonymous source”, yet people will believe it all uncritically. And Totally much more plausible that the trillion dollars pumped in propaganda in the west are connected to that chick's shady bullshit stories.
*Imagine you actually realizing what you've been told has all been fantastic tales!!*
*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."*
Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story.
Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression.
Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media.
The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent.
She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood.
She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries.
They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go :
"But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person..............But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

Most compelling story EVER! Thank you Yeonmi
She’s amazing I’ve watched her channel ❤
I love her book! She really made me understand how much freedom we have here. She’s also super gorgeous.
Freedom? Don't think so!
