Hi, I'm Kang Hana and I want to thank Dimple for giving me the opportunity to tell my story to so many people. And thank you to those who are interested in my story!
We are generally happy to see anyone that can leave North Korea. To have the government kill a baby, to create 'a country with no disabled people' is evil.
Ms. Hana, hearing your opinions of your travels and Perceptions of your visit to the United States of America was eye opening. I would if you get an opportunity invite you to visit Louisiana, we have amazing food that is a lot more rice based as we produce a lot of it in our state. Thank you for your courage in giving your opinions and views, and I wish you good luck and great health in the future.
@@timg5337Louisiana is one of those places I don’t feel like foreigners visit enough. I’m originally from Colorado but move around a lot these past ten years but NoLa is hands down my favorite city in the US!! The culture is unlike anywhere else ❤ I hope to visit more of Louisiana one day. It would be cool if she could visit too 🥰
Interesting that she liked the food, often I hear that North Koreans are used to a more bland diet and tend to dislike our greasy and heavy food. I appreciate how fast she spoke, it kept me engaged, but I guess I'm used to reading subtitles.
I hope she gets a chance to visit more places in the U.S. It's always good to experience things for yourself, as she was able to do. Don't let others form your opinions for you, make up your own mind.
I saw a similar movie once one WWII from the Japanese point of view, there was fighting near Singapore/Malaysia or so. Every little dirty trick and backstabbing thing that the Japanese actually di was superimposed on the English and they allies did instead. (Example: coming up as a surrender party then pulling out a light MG and killing the Japanese officers that came to take their surrender. Japanese did this many times, the Brits were just too professional to ever do this). The North Koreans do the same thing and project all their barbarities on Americans and claim that their hands are squeaky clean. If there are instances of Americans doing some of the things they claim we do, well these rare instances are blown up to be something that was policy or something for the US.
When you have hundreds of thousands or millions of people under arms bad shit will happen. The question is, "Is this policy? Is this unofficial policy? Or is this the act of a small number of bad actors?" Compared to our contemporary enemies we come out looking pretty good. And compared to historic empires like The Huns or The Romans we're saints.
@@CaptAoifeyes indeed, but it's important we do not allow these flattering comparisons to stunt our growth or wash our history. We have not achieved the same lows some other places have, but our lows were real. We're better as a country to acknowledge them in tandem with our accolades because it helps frame our growth.
It’s always interesting to see people’s perspective of your homeland! I always try to remember no country is ever a monolith. Good and bad people, kind and cruel people in every country, no matter how big or small. We must do our best to not repeat the past ❤ much love!
I had the same problem, so I changed the speed to .75 . It's an easy fix. I also like to speed up when there is an extremely slow talker. If you haven't done it, just hit the gear shaped thing at the bottom of the video and select playback speed. My biggest problem is forgetting to reset it to normal and then wonder why the next video is so slow or fast.
Some of y'all in the comments just need to learn how to read more quickly or how to change the speed settings on your device. Yeah, she speaks a bit fast, but she doesn't need to change her presentation just because you don't speak Korean. Take some initialive and customize the video settings to suit your own needs...
Hello Hana, thank you for sharing your story - I love to see and hear your curiosity about everything you are learning and experiencing here in the USA. All the best to you and your family!
I love to hear the perspectives of North Koreans on The US. Like those of Cubans and Venezuelans, it helps to hear the good things. That Americans are many ethnicities and backgrounds but we live together and are equal. Thank you Kang Hana.
Meeting Mexican minorities and the first thing they say is that they love North Korean defectors. She visited a Potemkin village. Her trip was very well 'managed' LOL. State Department or privately run, is my question. They kept her away from the tent cities, and the cruelty.
I think she meant once you leave LAX. She talked about how serious people were at immigration with their questions, but then once you get out that it's peaceful and relaxing. I'm assuming she meant the airport process was intimidating but once you step outside of it everything slows down, lol.
What she is saying is important and very insightful for Americans to hear and think about in these times. For that reason, please take more time to edit the videos like these more carefully. The cuts are too quick and the captions go by too fast to read entirely in most cases. Thank you Miss Kang. I am glad you are in the real free world with us and are willing to educate the rest of the world by your experiences and impressions of your new found life. Welcome!🍕
The reading speed was perfect for me, but if there had also been a lot of video clips to try to view at the same it would have been challenging. She made me realize how privileged we are not to care what others think of us, we just live and let live.
@@charlie7mason did you just equate a communist dictatorship to conservatism? i am sorry bud you are way off base. an example of ultra-nationalism, yes. but conservatism? no. a prime example of "rabid conservatism" would be the amish.
I'm glad to see she was able to experience so many different locations and regions in the US. I'm also happy to see she got to enjoy Chicago deep dish pizza! That said, I must admit I spent most of the video admiring this lady's beautiful cheekbones. 😊
If you don’t like flour based foods you certainly aren’t required to eat them in the U.S. there are many wheat free options at most places and every grocery store. I would recommend searching online or asking the people around you to help in locating places that have the types of foods you enjoy or where to buy the kind of ingredients you prefer to cook with. In really rural areas you may have a bit more difficulty, but there are ways to order ingredients or premade meals to your dietary specifications online for not too much money.
I think the biggest thing with American Culture is that (I am broadly generalizing here; America is a huge country with a lot of people) we all see ourselves as Americans. Anyone can come here and become an American. You can come from any country. Be any ethnicity. Identify as any gender. Be attracted to any gender. None of that matters. America's Boat has room for everyone. We all may not agree or even like each other but to steal a phrase from Terry Pratchett we all agree that the voyage is very important and we may disagree over how to steer the boat and only a lunatic would try to put a hole in the bottom of it.
We are still at war with North Korea, as there has been no peace agreement. USA's grudge against Russia has lasted longer, and the cold war never ended.
I want to commend you upon your bravery in making what had to be an incredibly hard decision to defect. I hope your future is everything you dream of, and more. Welcome...
My favorite sound in her voice was when she said "it was so peaceful and so relaxed." At 75% speed, it sounded like she was purring. ua-cam.com/video/pLjT8HEuT-g/v-deo.htmlsi=XREOcoRaAR43RhjT&t=231
5:46 I'm a gyeopo and am so sad that there really isn't the level of individual freedom in S. Korea that we have here in the states. There is really is no such thing as equality even in South Korea. There are hierarchies there in every day society, never mind in the work place. Like she said towards the end, she didn't even feel that type of equity and sense of freedom in S. Korea.
Please-between the talk and trying to read what is being said I just can’t keep up. Please don’t let this happen. I want to understand but I can’t keep up .Slow down, life is to short for this.
get your CC in order with the person talking. The text on the screen shouldn't disappear in a half second. Difficult to watch if I have to pause to read the closed captions.
......there's jump-cutting, then there's whatever this video is. Average shot length: 3 sec. Like... woman can't even finish 1/2 a sentence. yall cutting after every word in some places 🤣 why? Chopping this up like it's a action movie.
Kids in America dung pay to go to school. It's tax funded, and it's a requirement until the children are at least 16 years old. Site hit the nail on the head, we view everyone as equal. We redirect there to be differences in thoughts and opinions. We are the great melting pot of the world. We enjoy each other's cultures and traditions and celebrate each other's festivals. I am a 3rd generation American. My grandfather was born here but his father wasn't.
Why would they paint themselves as terrible? The USA cut their country in half and created the South Korean government. Why would they hate their relatives? If I cut your house in half and wouldn't let you see your kids in the other half of the house, would you then hate your kids, or me?
Americans do cruel things to children, but that is a humanity issue, not just US. NAMBY and WAR(women Against Registry) are two groups that are suspect
Why are subtitles so fast? I understand that she's speaking quickly, but you've got plenty of room on the screen. You don't need to take away sentences after a fifth of a second.
@@foggylegg6362our wheat is not pesticide filled. If you are speaking of glyphosate it is not habitually used on wheat, and there is no roundup ready wheat currently approved. Technically all cultivated plants are genetically modified organisms.
The truth is only "hate" of that which is evil and wrong. If one want to suppress the truth in favor of immorality they are serving the devil and will owe an eternal spiritual debt, the price of which is more than anyone can afford. Anything that violates GOD's moral Laws is hate against all that is good and advocating for the violation of the true and self-evident moral Laws is an indirect but effective request to have all that is good removed from the perpetrator. Repent.
You are speaking about part of North Korean propiganda, as they speak of the 'Christian' teachers that beat and raped the children. You were told that the devil wants to be God? Told this by a man who told you to bow your head and pray to God as he stood in front of you on a raised platform? Told that man is made in the image of God and told that, that image is obscenity? You can see and hear better with the spirit of truth. Rome was the city built on nine hills, the harlot sitting on nine hills, as one needed to speak in riddles of that evil. So what is the harlot sitting on nine mountains? Who is the Rome of now that makes ancient Rome look like an ant? Count the letters in Ronald(6) Wilson(6) Reagan(6), as the bible said. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. You must first untwist your brain to repent. What does the bible say happens to us? One hint: Matthew 25:31-46 The goats are surprised because they are his Christian followers. He spares those not following him, as they are acting as he said to act, even if they are atheists. That is how deceived Christian's have become, that Jesus would need to pretend to be the devil, for them to follow him. So who is saved? Who needs to repent?
They would have been a little more shocked in 1950...but for some reason Harry Truman couldn't, or wouldn't step up to the plate..his failure got a lot of people killed,, and set in motion a problem with these psycho's that continues to this day...

Unless you're a speed reader, reduce the video playback speed to 0.75 or 0.50.

I saw a similar movie once one WWII from the Japanese point of view, there was fighting near Singapore/Malaysia or so. Every little dirty trick and backstabbing thing that the Japanese actually di was superimposed on the English and they allies did instead.

I'd think North Korea would have more incentive to paint South Korea as a terrible country than the U.S., though there's no reason they can't do both.
Why? If they treat it like their own people but who are misguided and mislead by USA? That is just my assumption.
Why would they paint themselves as terrible? The USA cut their country in half and created the South Korean government. Why would they hate their relatives?
