- Charles tells the story of his eventual escape from North Korea in 2008 at age 14. After a brief period of time in China at the age of 8, he was sent back to North Korea to work in a labor camp where he was starved and beaten... What have you survived?

Most countries: innocent until proven guilty.
North Korea: Guilty until proven guilty.
Social media is like a lesser North Korea, where you're guilty and unforgiving for having the "wrong" opinion.
No most countries: goes normal like any other country except North Korea. South korea: BTS. North korea: Everyone's lives sux since the law in North Korea is ridiculous since baby wipes r illegal and Jean's r illegal there.. except the leader
Btw imagine all of the countries were owned by north korea
It would be HORRIBLE
China has the same situation a lot ppl get tortured until they admit they committing the crime
The poor guy...
He still look scared...
Saad TV and you know it’s not fake look at his face defo a North Korean
the sad truth is that he always will be :(
I wonder if we would believe him if he didn't look asian like . I don't doubt that the regime is harsh , but it's not the first time US fabricate lies about their enemies in order to intervent .
@@slavkafegiev3474 we wouldnt have believe him if it was the first case because people that are not koreans are killed in NK.
I've met defectors in Seoul..they have the same look in their eyes. Imagine going through what he went through just to get out and then knowing NK government could still try to find you, kidnap you, and take you back to NK..its happened before..you know the NK gov would make that point known to everyone. Imagine wondering what happened/is happening to your friends and family back home. ..how severely they're being punished for your actions. I pray this man, and all defectors, find peace and are able to live happy lives.
Don't forget. He was 8 when he was beaten. 14 when he finally escaped. Imagine having to take on a life of death situation at the age of 14.
It's terrible how poeple go through this in these countries (AFGH, NK, SS, SO, around the world)
@@Xtemess what is SS and SO
@@leaderofkkk South Sudan
Somalia
This happens because of terrible leaders and not the people most of them are brainwashed and threatened to obey.
Um what? Lmaoooo he said he was 15 at the labor camp or am I tripping?
The people who disliked the video probably doesn’t realize how lucky they are.
Socialist or communist. They don’t like freedom and when someone defects it opens the box to the atrocities the communist regime imposes on its people. They cheer when a defector is caught. A brave young man! Welcome to USA! Hopefully you won’t run into too
many bastards. 😃

No the people who disliked this are kim jong un and his alts

His story needs to be a film. His english is good

@@fatmanxd7914 chill
The fact that he ate the rice from the dry vomit literally broke me into pieces ....
Ye i would never imagined someone had done that
@@Cosaa I can
It’s crazy how for us, we could never try to do that, but for people like this man, it’s a dream come true that he has other food besides a measly half shucked corn.
people in North Korea eat feces and maggots, it's awful in there..
i vomit rice into the toilet so that nobady can eat it
hes choking back tears. i can see it. hes so strong
God loves you guys he died for you guys he is mercyfull and loving go to him.✝✝☦☦❤❤
@@peteypeetepete and god allowed this guy and countless others to go trough all that? find it hard to like him

@@peteypeetepetegod tortures people as a test to prepare them, perfectly fine right?
so can i just go ahead and ruin your life and put you through torture as a test to prepare you?
I just want to give him a huge hug, he definitely deserves it after everything he’s been through.
Oh yea he deserves only a “hug” for risking his life to escape North Korea wow.
@@bengall000 excuse me? what do you mean b that. Explain please ! 😄
@@Alex-dx7hk you told this man he deserves only a hug after everything hes been through Lmao
@@bengall000 what would you like me to do? Give him a large sum of money or something? There is not much I can do as a stranger from a different part of the world from this man. Sometimes, love and reassurance is worth a lot more then anything else when you've been through such a traumatic experience. Not everyone has the same prespective as you.
@@Alex-dx7hk bruh lol
The chinese guy that saved him deserves an applause
Big respect 😔👏👏👏👏
@Dream fan name checks out
Yes: Respect👏👏👏
@Dream mom and dad and brother and sister Bruh it not right to joke about it and your not even dream parents
Yeah especially when Chinese people are supposed to deport them.
I'll lift my right hand, and put on my forehead for this guy.
Who would want to raid North Korea rather then area 51
Kryptik
Both are instant death opportunities
Well Area 51 raid didn’t happen so if others said on social media say they would do it then it probably won’t happen
Me....but let's go for area 51 to get help from aliend
@Ian Oconnor *aliens
Know what im tryna raid food section in Walmart
This is absolutely heartbreaking. It is so awful that there are people living like this. 😭💔
God loves you guys he died for you guys he is mercyfull and loving go to him.✝✝☦☦❤❤
THAT FEELING THAT TOLD HIM TNOT TO TURN BACK IS THE GUT FEELING
AND IT IS A POWERFUL THING
The fact that he said he was living his life in freedom in China just goes to show how bad North Korea is.
Bad is better than worst
@fred ikr
lmao
china isn’t bad, the government is questionable but the people and culture are lovely :)
YEAH
You can really see in his eyes the fear that left in his heart.

I've never felt so spoiled in my life🥺 I'm so glad you're ok! Thank you for sharing your story! Raising awareness for the abuse in NK.🥰

North Korea be like: This video is not available in your country.
North Korea don't have internet
@@darkfoxthekitsune they technically do, it's just hard to access
@@darkfoxthekitsune Most Government Officials still use a Microsoft OS instead of their own OS, because, just like everything in North Korea, it's so shitty.
What i meant to say is that the internet, even to officials are limited, which means that you can't even access YT.
They don’t even have internet
Don’t realize how lucky you are until you hear both sides of the story
"This is land of opportunity, and if I work hard I can achive my dreams " This is so beautiful and true. I am grateful to be born here. And there are people who still complain, are selfish and intolerant. Its only taking away their happiness. I hope they see what they have is great and feel great
Someone needs to make a movie out of this
^ he's right
Idk if thats possible , might be risky
@@freykiva3887 not in America tho
Not quite on this subject but I loved The Interview
@@mimisarchive562 well there are a lot of things that can be accomplished with a movie first of all it could be used to educate people who don't know (aka Trump) or taught in schools or money can be use dto spread awarness and or money made from the movie can be used to donate for refugees there are many ways to help and im not saying making a movie is the only way but it is A WAY

Shekhar Kumar chill it’s a joke
aaarti Vaidya South Korea is the real meaning of life 😎
This young man is a true American patriot; he genuinely fought for, understands and appreciates freedom. His story brought tears to my eyes. He lived through things even Satan would hesitate putting someone through. Words cannot describe how much I commend his courage, and I also commend the integrity of the Chinese man who saved his life. I'm thankful to God that He brought him to peace and safety.
god bless america,
Satan is the most evil being God has ever created. He looks for every opportunity to thwart God(he always fails) and deceives people into hell and enjoys it more than you could ever enjoy your top 10 memories combined. So please don't exaggerate..
Okay. I'm sorry. I was just trying to make a point, that's all.
Ah yes freedom and democracy definitely invented by USA
That's right.
I almost cried hearing his story. The fact that he was so hungry that he licked vomit is heartbreaking. I hope your life is even better now.
Father left him.
Mother starved to death.
Friend crushed to death.
Cell mate stabbed to death.
How many people can say they’ve experienced this?
Life can be so cruel, I salute him for his strength and courage.

Brought tears to this 60+ year old man... This man is awesome. All Americans should see this. We have no idea how good we have it and how real it is that we are going to lose it behind politicians, special interests, and corporate greed. Good luck everyone. We're in the decline now.
And their are people in this country who would support Trump as a dictator. We live among fools. I would never want to live in an authoritarian government country.
We need to realize that we're all lucky because we don't have to suffer everyday and feel starved. Be grateful everyone

@Anya Lewis I don't get it
yeah except the numerous people in america that are starving and suffering under the corporate duopoly, but hey i'm lucky I don't live there.

You are a true survivor...I wish you all the best and a ton of happiness .
Thank you for being strong enough to share your story.
God bless that Chinese man who helped him instead of handing him to the Chinese police in order to be shipped back to North Korea! 😇❤It brings back faith in humanity
hasta_la_vista_sista watch as people mistaking your sarcasm
Sigh chinese know the people's lifes in NK and know that if hand this man to police, he will face his fate back to NK. Things are not easy as those people who left comments like"evil china, damn u china" think. If NK reign falls, millions of refugees will flood China and South Korea, it gonna be real messy. Like Trump shouts out "American first", Chinese has it only interests to consider. Sometimes u gonna make a choice, its not as simple as making choice between "less evil " and "greater evil".
@@kaymanwang The Chinese got their punishment: Corona.
@@kaymanwang oh ok but when there is war somewhere in Syria and we have to take escapees thats fine? But china doesn´t want escpaees of course. I think europe is way to kind, other countries would not do the same.

What an incredible story. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
When you need the word "escape" to leave the country is unbelievable.
I refuse to die without seeing North Koreans get their freedom.
The governments of the world should really consider a militar intervention, the only chance to not do militar intervention is by trying to convince China to stop supporting North Corea and just wait about 8 months for the country to collapse
How to become immortal

What exactly does North Korea have to be proud of when stories like this are being spread around? Its a really sad and an emotional story.
They are brain washed and they only get told lies that the government wants them to think
Carlos Torres
Or we have been told lies all the time, we may never know the truth...
why north koreans kill each other, when they make mistake they should work longer.
Hope North Korea Pays
Think about it, they litteraly escape a area that has a law that makes nobody able to leave when they are a citizen there.
We just don’t realise how lucky we are, we don’t know any thing other than the freedom we have and the food we have each day. God bless this man I hope he has a happy life now that he has a life.
Everybody, never take you’re life for granted, we are all so lucky to be able to be hear

oh nce
Sorry but what does her being tall have to do with it? Sorry if that sounded rude I'm just confused
@@robynb7083 not at all. That’s actually a pretty good question. The reason she made it across the river was because she was tall enough to withstand the force and stayed above the surface. I know it’s horrible but her friends were smaller and drowned

@@ankush5856 But why? Are you willing to share? Sorry if it's too personal, don't tell us, I was just curious.
American Teachers should play videos like this every morning at school. Put a few things into perspective for the students.
That is genius.
Gordon Martin, I think jwboll’s point here, is that Kids today take too much for granted, and they are too spoiled, so we should show these videos to let them see that we are lucky we live like this.
Amen
@@Phyrren Exactly. I just witnessed a 16 year old have a temper tantrum because his mom *almost* didn't buy him a Redbull and a Chocolate bar in a grocery store.
I think that would just desensitize the students, because if they see it every day it won't have the same effect on them over time, the same way how a lot of students don't fully grasp the meaning behind the pledge of allegiance because it is a daily thing and is just the "dumb thing we have to recite every morning". Instead it would be better to have a part of the curriculum set for it like a large project which requires thought and research.
Truly inspiring. Anyone can do anything if they had the determination
Wouldn't wish this on anyone, but he has a heck of a story to tell.
Bruh, the people that dislike this vid. I am disgusted.
propably Kim jong un with his multiply youtube accounts
What if I disliked it
@pJ why
@pJ also just because someone dislikes this one video doesn't mean they're degenerates to society. Stop thinking the internet is the only way people can show love/hate.
@pJ also yea this guy does deserved to be loved since he went through this. Don't get me wrong but every video will always get dislikes no matter what. It could anything from people who hit it on accident without realizing or people who just don't know English and have no clue what this is about. When you say people who dislike are disgusting, its like forcing everyone to a room and saying "whoever is in that room is stupid and disgusting." It's just a fake internet point, chill.
Watching this video makes me feel greatful for my life. I'm grateful for the food that I can eat, the home that I live in, and my wonderful family. It's sad to know that others don't have the same.
Freyjaa Singh Kirti yes i can't believe people go through this
I feel so sorry for him
