    Lee Cheol is such a good storyteller, and includes his feelings and why he reacted to differences in South Korea in a way that viewers can sympathize with him and understand.

    What he said at the end there was deeply true, and something Americans, and Westerners in general should take note of. As your own Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said: 'only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.'

    The north sent their special forces and spies at night to steal duffel bags of clothes from us guarding the Seoul DMZ in 1996. You should've heard the one squealing like a child, he got caught by one of our truck driver women. She broke his arm in two places and had to be restrained so they could rescue him! 😂

    I would like to hear more of this young man. Do try to bring him back. Does he have a channel? It was very heart-touching to hear how he had trouble getting used to freedom and how having choices was new to him. Things, that we take for granted. I wish the young man all the best and a happy and long life.

    During their famine in '96 the army seized all the UN Aid food on the shipping docks, then Kim Jim Jon Ill told his people to eat grass. That's why they don't get anymore.

    The interviewer never asked the follow up question, what does human morality mean to him? He had a hard time dealing with S. Korean politics and critiqued it on the bases of morality, but never said what that was. I get that he's still figuring it out, but even a comparison/contrast would have been helpful for us and maybe him. Morality and Ethics are two different things, so what does he base his morals on? What isn't getting satisfied for him? What is? Does the N. Korean morality still work for him that he isn't seeing in the South?

      I'd be interested to know if and how his morality has been changed by South Korean influence.

    It's fascinating hearing his perspective on 한국 and his observation of S. Koreans and politicians. Sadly what he says of politicians is just the same in the US, but what he says of the people of Korea is also the same in the US. I'd love to see more of his interviews in the future.
