    Thanks for this. It's interesting to get the view of a person living in South Korea. Here in the UK, the BBC reported that North Korean soldiers had been sent to Russia, which is certainly worrying, but as you say, it's difficult to know who to believe. I just hope we all stay safe! 🤞

      It's not difficult to know who or what to believe at all and that's usually the exact opposite of what mainstream media reports/presents to you. Especially the BBC and their 77th Brigade scripts they are given.

      ​@@lemonsarejuicy8817But the Russian invasion on the Ukraine changed the situation and the views on starting and conducting wars in the modern era. It showed that even in the times of nuclear weapons there can be still wars conducted conventionally, with other types of weapons, also by states having such weapons.

    Thank you so much for sharing your take on the current state of affairs over there. The news and media here, BBC, SKY etc just cannot be relied upon to present the facts without putting their own spin on events - your take on the other hand seems to be the authentic voice of the “the average Korean man” even though you personally are very far from being “ average”. I may be wrong but I have always been lead to believe that the USA has a very strong bond with South Korea and that in times of trouble you would have the immediate support of the most powerful nation on earth and if that is so I very much doubt that things will ever escalate. South Korea is a model of modernity and technological innovation harnessed to a truly unique cultural identity and history and it is for the free world to to let it be known that it will stand with South Korea should it ever be seriously threatened.
    You speak English remarkably well and your presentation is a pleasure to watch, whatever the topic. 🇰🇷🇬🇧.

    Either South Korea or North Korea would never declare a war all by itself. Each needs to consult the superpower behind them, the USA or China, before it decides anything. If a war happens, that means the USA or China feels that a war is needed to erode the power of the other.

      The US military presence in South Korea is the largest and best armed in the world, 2nd only to the obvious U.S. bases. So, yes, US is well aware of what is going on there and their presence greatly lessens the likelihood that NK would attack SK. NK is irresponsible and Kim is not the brightest leader, but he knows what will happen to NK if he makes such a stupid move. You can bet that the US military has eyes on the Ukraine-Russia situation and if Kim dares to send NK troops into that mess, they won’t be there for long, if you know what I mean.

It was only a few days later that I heard that Jk from BTS would not be exiting the military when expected, due to the higher than normal possibility of war with N.Korea. You are right. This is very serious. It seems to me, that the whole world is sitting on the edge of war. God help us.

Russia has 1.5 million active duty military members and over 2 million reservists. it’s the fifth largest military in the world. They don’t need a tiny number of North Korean troops 😂. If there are some N Korean troops in Russia, it could be for training purposes but def not to fight in Ukraine.

    I've been studying Korean for almost a year, and I think South Korea is such a beautiful country with great culture and impressive history. I'm currently living in Russia and working as a teacher (not the best paid profession as you probably know), so this whole time I've been also saving for a trip to Korea. I'm also ethnically half Ukrainian (2 of my grandparents are Ukrainian) and I have A LOT of family in Kiev and Lviv. So constantly living in the state of not being able to connect with a big part of my family and not really knowing what's coming next hasn't been easy. So hearing that there's this terrible possibility of Korea going into war is absolutely devastating. I hope with all my heart that this never happens. As of the news about North Korean soldiers, our government has told us that it isn't true (although I prefer not to listen to just one source of information, and never trust what's on TV). But this time I just want to believe there're no soldiers going to Russia.... If it's real, I'm too scared for the future for all of us. Also thank you for sharing the news. Take care and stay safe!

    Not related to the content of this video, but I always wonder why your washing machine tray and door are usually wide open in the background? LOL!

      It stops mold growth in the try and drum. There is always a little water left which will become stagnant if the door is closed. There is often mold growth on rubber seal if the door remains closed. Also the machine should be cleaned with either washing machine steraliser or bleach - run on a programme without clothes (obviously). If you are not doing this you are literally washing your clothes in mold 🙈. You should also remove the tray periodically and wash it, wipe around the inside of draw to remove and build up. Check out the research perhaps? Hope this helps 👍

    NK soldiers is already close to Ukranian border and im from Ukraine! Budanov who is chief of intelligence here says NK soldiers will be on the front line by the end of this month in Kursk region! there wont be any war between NK and SK as NK sending their soldier to Ukraine in order to gain experience (at least thats how i feel) so in my opinion it would be wise for SK to be in touch with Ukraine in every way possible, including military! in the future experienced NK soldiers will be a problem for SK BUT thats why you have to do something NOW

    When North Korean soldiers come to the frontline in Ukraine everyone will know because Ukrainian drone teams will post videos of them. North Korea already sends artillery and missiles to Russia, and the international community has done nothing in response, which just emboldened North Korea to escalate.

      When Korean men are done with serving for the country, we remain as reserve forces for 8 years. And we have to attend training for a few days every year. And also if a war occurs we have to get back into action. After 8 years, when we are done with reverse solider, we become part of 민방위. I don't know if there is a word for this in English. We become part of 민방위 until the age of 40. 민방위 means when a war or serious natural disasters occur, we have to protect civilians in our neighborhood. So we don't join the war but there are procedures that we do as 민방위. I'm done with my reserve forces but still 민방위 member.

    Demonstration of military might by North Korea, sometimes pitiable and even humorous, seem to come from insecurity within the leadership of North Korea. It's just a guess, but I think the recent saber-rattling and chest-thumping by the North has a lot to do with North Korea sending a significant number of its able-bodied soldiers to fight for Russia.
    North Korea's weaponry is a few generations behind the US, but its soldiers can certainly fight. Where food is heavily rationed and many suffer from malnutrition, it has been a significant expense for North Korea to feed and maintain its army. North Korea, by sending its troops to Russia, is weakening what they would consider a prominent piece of its wartime readiness. So, it must bark.

    Tbh, for us it's not such a big surprise that such escalation, like Russian attack on the Ukraine, actually happened. We knew, already since about 2008, that it may end like this, with such escalation, if the Russian regime is not stopped on time by the international community. Our President, together with some other Presidents of the region, was warning against such risk already in 2008, saying: First it's Georgia (a country with the capital in Tbilisi, because in 2008 there was the Russo-Georgian war), then it would be Ukraine (first time attacked by Russia in 2014, and then, on a full scale, in 2022), and later maybe other countries as well. And in the meantime there were various other hostile acts of the Russian regime against European countries, also their attempts to make Europe completely dependent on them in the energy sector etc. So the signs what is coming could be seen in fact much earlier. Hope this time it won't end like it was before the WW II, however there are some analogies - when totalitarian regimes, not stopped on time by the international community (for instance because of so-called "appeasement policy" of some of the countries before the WW II, letting dictators like Hitler to go further and further with their demands) - led in the following years to deaths of many millions of people all over the world, in so many countries, and to all the horrible atrocities, genocide, massacres on so many, committed by all these totalitarian regimes of that times. So all people, from all the countries, should hope that it won't end like that this time, because all would suffer in such a case. Especially taking into account that nowadays situation and events in various parts of the world are even more, much more, interconnected than it used to be in the past. But we shouldn't worry, it won't help much. Just should be well aware of all the risks and threats, in order to mitigate them as much as possible.

    про военных Северной Кореи на СВО - это "информационный вброс" (лже информация) для нагнетания ситуации и провокации на некие действия, например введение военных сил нато на Украину. Доводы: 1. ты служил и думаю вполне понимаешь, что 12.000 человек - это внушительный контингент, который надо кормить/поить/мыть/спать положить. Иностранный воинский контингент должен базироваться кучно (в одной точке), т.к. языковой барьер/своя система снаряжения, команд и действий. Следовательно его не получится рассредоточить, а следовательно его невозможно замаскировать (ни формой, ни документами). В то что можно замаскировать корейцев под Бурятов могут поверить только слепые и те кто не видел ни корейцев, ни бурятов. Про Сибиряков вообще молчу. Ну даже если предположить что кто то ослеп и сочтет что внешне эти национальные типы похожи - то что делать с языком? замаскированные корейцы могут говорить по-русски? - конечно же нет. - по этому это первый довод, что сообщение о нахождении северо-корейского контингента на территории СВО - это ложь. 2. сейчас 21-й век - если бы это было бы правдой - то по телевидению, интернету были бы фотографии, видео с их участием с мест СВО, т.е. были бы прямые доказательства - а ничего этого нет. - это опять же доказывает, что вкинуто ложное сообщение. 3. Если бы это было правдой - то инфа была бы не только от одной страны и от Зеленского. В официальных обзорах написано, что на брифинге пресс-секретарь Министерства обороны США не подтвердил правдивость информацию о наличии северокорейского контингента на территории СВО. Неужели кто то думает, что Министерство обороны США не обладает достоверной информацией? - В общем сейчас северокорейского контингента на СВО точно нет.

    This is so overblown. What Russia or the NPRK is doing in Ukraine has nothing to do with Korea. Washington is leaning on Korea to support Ukraine. That’s all that’s going on here. I doubt it if Korea cared about Ukraine at all in Soviet days.
