Props to your cosplay and taking advantage of gullible people to score free snacks. I would love to see the numbers; like, how much you it cost to make this video and how many "gifts" it took for you to break even. I'll bet that at least 1 person was dum enough to send you money.
@@maxerica69 who is cosplaying here? do your research before making a comment.

"I've never gotten presents in my life"
-Final words before her PO box gets blown up with even more gifts
I just mailed her one today!
I cant wait for her to receive them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Use "overinflated". I'm not sure which North Korean intelligence service will be monitoring the channel. ;)
Thats What I was thinking... 😀
Her: "I've never received this many gifts in my life."
Comment section: *so I took it personally.*
I hope she will do a video with all of them at one point, cause I think people been sending her! 😂👍
YES
Those poor postal workers!
Not many get your reference there but I see you 👀😂
I honestly did take it personally. That's jacked up. We have it so good here in America. Even the poorest of us have a good. I am a cripple that works at a restaurant and lives in a van. I still have it great. It's such a shame that more people in America don't see that. 😔😔
"i´ve never had a gift before, not even on my birthday..."
I need to start being WAY MORE greatfull for how good i have it...
Important note: this will only be a positive force in the world if you ACT with compassion to others, like the people who gave those presents did. There are lots and lots of people who instead say “therefore poor people in my own country should not demand better living conditions”, and that makes the world a worse place because it blocks efforts to relieve people’s hardship. So pick a way you can help others, and do it.
its something special when you give a genuine gift to an adult who hasn't received gifts of kindness. I did that once for someone and it was humbling.
Unfortunately, she answered wrong. She should have said "Everyday is a gift, given to us from our fearless leader Kim Jon Un".
Honestly though, as sad as it is, that might be a real situation for her. It's like the CCP and saying anything bad about the government, except they kill you right away instead of weeks later.
We all need to be grateful in the U.S., my friend. It's sad because even in the worst of times, we still have it pretty good. And it makes me sad when so many people around the globe are so deprived of the blessings we have, and we take it for granted.
We all do. ❤
If you put a Pop Tart in the microwave for 15 minutes you'll start a fire, lol. Please use as directed hahaha.
Unless you take it out of the foil. Who has microwave and doesn’t know this?
@@aajohnsoutube 15 minutes in the microwave is insane for a poptart lmao don't do this!!
@@ABadGamble Yeah 15 minutes isn't even enough to dry your dog. Pop-tarts need an hour at least.
im joking
@@aajohnsoutube A north korean whos never seen a microwave, a poptart, or the foil
@@aajohnsoutube it's hilarious you think it's the foil that would start the fire and not the extra 14 minutes and 45 seconds of heating, you fly right at that 15 minute pop tart and let us know how it goes.
"I've never really received gifts. Not even birthday gifts."
*_gift giving desire intensifies_*
Same!
I just saw this.. Not sure if I can get anything to her in time for her birthday now.. 😞
That one got me too. They’re only allowed to celebrate anniversaries of their fat pig leader in NK. Former President from China chairman Mao was riddled with venereal disease.
He routinely picked out 16 year old ‘secretaries’ who were told it was an honor to have the disease passed to them.
Brought a tear to my eye hearing her say she has never had "freedom to eat whatever she chooses". So glad she is free now
Aww
Time for year-round Padoru
We dislike their leaders, we care for the North Korean people and their struggles.
mhm
Well said
This exactly.
We gotta get North Korea over here for a barbeque. There's a few exceptions to that invite, though.
Same with the Chinese, imo. Most of them just want to take care of their families.
It's incredible how giving gifts is something that shocks her to the point of tears. They really must struggle immensely in NK.
Or they just pay actors like her a lot of money to ham it up
@@ELeviathan33 Is your point that they're not struggling in NK?
@@EvanG529 My point is that actors are the most affordable form of shaping public opinion, which forms policy and militaristic action. Wondering how many actors the USA will fall for. The Nayirah Testimony didn't seem to teach you guys a 10 trillion dollar lesson.
@@ELeviathan33 The US is trying to sway public opinion to invade NK?
I'm not going to join the argument that happened above me, but rather to explain the situation in NK. Yes, People are oppressed immensely in NK, people eat grass and leaves and sometimes people to just live under the communist dictators watchful eye. If you are in NK, it's not a life. It's survival.
I know this video is 3 years old at this point, but I can't help but shed tears for her, both of pain and joy.
Is she still in the army and why is she in south Korea?
@@keventhechosenone.5543she’s a defector from the North Korean military.
@@spacechimp3199 So a traitor then. Can we trust the words of a traitor?
@seniorshakingmyhead.2239 And there is also nothing wrong with distrusting a traitor.
@seniorshakingmyhead.2239 And there is also nothing wrong about doubting America’s words about any communist country.
"Put it in the microwave for 15 minutes"
*SECONDS. 15 SECONDS*
15 mins would result in a fire. Or lava.
Also, it's called a poptart for a reason -- you easily pop 'em in a toaster, not a microwave! That's why they're shaped like that... but as a kid I usually preferred them cold anyway, so whatever. Lol.
I love these kinds of videos :3
Yes, a (bread) toaster or a toaster oven
Is a toaster a common Korean appliance?
Fire and smoke
@@ALuiza-pm2dp For sure. There are some flavors that benefit from being toasted, like the cinnamon types and such, but the basic fruity flavors are best "raw."
North korean soldier: SpICY SPICY
Me: sweats as I see the takis coming next
She opens them in a video on her own channel with her family, guess they were a little bit hot! :P Dunno if you found it already or wanted to see but it's here ua-cam.com/video/MdMqB4gDtNc/v-deo.html There's no subtitles but their reactions are still fun! :)
Yes! Me too. The cheese its. And I'm just like sweating for the takis and cheetos
Also me. I’m Hispanic and couldn’t believe it, but she said all their food is plain.
Lol I’m eating takis right now! They’re not spicy for me since I’ve been eating spicy chips since I was little lol.
Yeah, I felt the same when she said that they are warned that eating snacks will break your teeth. If any snack will break your teeth, it would be takis for sure.
“I’ve never had a gift before, not even for my birthday,”
And her PO Box was never empty again.
I thought that as well. Not just food, but other gifts. I wanna mail this woman gifts 😭
She's so humble and gracious. Really gets you right in the feels.
"I'll take little bites and take the rest home to share with my family".
Except for those Twinkies it seems, they never made it home.
Every American that watches this is totally going to send her a box of twinkies now LOL
Haha, fair, they're so good.
@@Chiller-pc1dv agreed
Twinkies “got lost” on the ride home probably 😂😂
I want to send her a box of twinkes too but I better buy 2 boxes or the first might not make it to her lol
I love how it was a space force soldier of all branches. Lol.
Yeah I’m surprised no one else seems to be talking about this? I started watching and wasn’t sure at first if it was a wholesome vid or a satire vid!
Mistranslated I think, at the end she says Air Force, which makes much more sense and I could see how it could be mistranslated as Space Force
@@Bulbman123 it's not mistranslated. Space Force is an official branch now and has 3k members and growing
@@TheCuriousNoob I'm well aware of the "Space Force" it just seems much more likely it was mistranslated, especially because they say "Airforce" later on which is much more likely
Right!?!?!!!! When I saw the subtitles I actually laughed and whispered 'SPACE FORCE!!!' LOL!!!
This is why fighting for freedom matters. Hearing all the horror stories these people express just trying to survive in that country, if you can even call it that, I’d gladly fight alongside any of them cause they know what really matters and is worth fighting for. Thankful for every single person that was able to escape and hopefully one day the regime can end.
I feel like a lot of Americans underestimate their kindness. I understand everyone's experience is different, as I've gotten my fair share of rude people here, but as someone from an Asian country known for hospitality who went through bullying, seeing people even give the slightest apology kind of made me tear up. A lot of strangers didn't hesitate to help us, and everyone feels genuinely human.
No I don’t think they do, I just think some Americans don’t see it as relevant how kind they are when they have no autonomy. That said I think all Americans feel deeply for their plight freedom and personal autonomy is something we deeply value and it makes us sad and angry to see people deprived of such things. There is no hate for the North Korean people in the slightest in the US only the foolish actions of their leader.
America is typically the most generous country every year . We give more to charity and others . Meanwhile I believe China ranks last . I know this video isn’t about China.
America has a lot of problems. But I feel like at the end of the day, we're trying to do right. The people who aren't trying are the ones who are broken.
@@MysticMorigan1998 namely politicians .
We are all just people in the grand scheme of life. The government is just full of cancers that try to pit us against another nations poor people.
We’re taught to hate “commies” but I’ve had some awesome interactions with Russian guys when I was in the army.
Broke my heart when she said she didn’t have a choice even in food selection in North Korea; she ate just to survive.
That’s how life was and still is for people in communist countries. It’s a blessing for my family to be in the US with so much freedom
That was quite sad to hear. Good thing she's free.
I cried a few times through this video
@@tiffymcconkey me too🥺
@@anneeliselaurent3454 no, this isn't about communism, it's about north Korea.
Bro 🥺 she was getting emotional for getting a great amount of snacks. Who’s down to throw a big FAT birthday party for her 🙋🏽♀️
Count me in Rose!...I'll make her Homemade Mexican Food..
@@stevedeleon8775 eso sí güey!
count me in! im might not have much but i'll help
Where do I sign up?
I'll get her some movie theater snacks and some of my favorite movies in a big goody bag, she deserves all this and more to make up for her missed times
As an Asian-American this touched my heart for Kim Jeong Ah. She seems to see the first time eating great food in her life for the first time after she has been suffering from the torment that Kim Jong Un made her.
Tbh she can move to South Korea so she can have all the freedom and she can travel any country whenever she wants so she can experience being free and meet other people from different country no matter what❤❤❤
Three years later, I need to know if she tried to microwave that Poptart for 15 minutes
Same.
WHEN SHE SAID SHE'S GOING TO ONLY TAKE SMALL BITES SO SHE CAN SHARE IT WITH HER FAMILY MY HEART EXPLODED ❤
she seems sweet
Not the twinkie though lol. She loved it
@@daminator4438 jajaja right 😂
Fax
Irk. But the twinkie tho...all hers lol
Is no one going to point out that this was sent by an active duty soldier in the SPACE FORCE?!
Supposedly named Rihanna lmfao
Pretty sure that was just an issue with the translation, later it says Air Force. Air - space... Not a huge jump, though it did get a brow perk from me for a half-second.
@@Lilyannis143 but the us space force is actually a thing
@@Lilyannis143 Space Force is definitely a thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Force 2500 members, previously it was Air Force Space Command.
@@rachmae4180 I think it's funny how a tv series spinoff making fun of it and how no one took it seriously and now it's normal to be like yeah: they're probably dealing with aliens and other races, etc. In addition to protecting our satellites, etc, from other domestic threats. Times are weird. They're called guardians instead of soldiers or airmen.
Our government is really crappy but this video really does make me appreciate how we have a LOT more freedom than some other countries out there. Loved this video
North Korea is basically a big prison.
Ah yea the sweet freedom of getting mowed down by your classmate.
The US government is a lot less crappy than everyone thinks it is. It just happens that we have such a transparent system that ALL the crap, big and small, come to light. Whereas in other countries, like dictatorships, because of the repression we don't see as much. In other words, the US is the Florida man of the world.
Having worked in private security, I can't even begin to tell you how much the US government bends over backward to keep the American populace safe. 99% of which the public has no knowledge of. To make it worse, the federal government doesn't spew much marketing to let the populace know what it's doing so the general assumption is that the government is useless and corrupt as hell.
@@mangonut i dont wanna be that guy but the government does come across a lot more crappy when you are a minority. im not sure what you are but if you are the majority then of course the government will seem "not that bad".
the government is crappy to every american regardless of race.@@moppupaws
She's so sweet. It's so sad to hear she's never had a gift before. Very sad to hear, but I'm super glad to hear that she is grateful.
This makes me so happy.
I think I speak for all Americans when I say we the American people love the Korean peoples North and South and we sincerely wish those inside North Korea to one day gain their freedom from tyrannical rule and oppression they suffer inside North Korea.
Amen.
Yes, and they can help us get ours back.
@@donarmstrong2182 facts
I'm from the US as well and this is totally an accurate statement. We pray for all those still in North Korea to one day gain their freedom.
pray for yourself, you need freedom more than anyone else on this planet
I love how her first thought is "I'll take this home for my family."
My first would be "Let me eat as much as possible before I get back home and my family devours them all in 5 seconds" hahaha
NK doesn't deserve her.. bless her heart..
@@ChonyWirapraja She defected and isn't stuck there anymore.Whatever deity you worship,thank them for it,she's so sweet.
Getting stationed in Korea was a really awkward experience for me since it's so obvious that the people in the north are treated so poorly by their own government. When one of their guys defected across the border, it was bittersweet because everyone was just worried if he was okay since they shot him up pretty bad after he ran the checkpoint on the NK side of the DMZ. I heard he had some pretty serious medical issues even without the gunshot wounds. Never actually heard if he survived.
I love this lady, it’s heartbreaking how her country literally robbed her childhood, teen years, young adult years, can’t have children even if she wanted etc. SK please be kind to her, she’s not a immigrant to be told to go back to her country! Thank you ♥️ from 🇬🇧
I really hope she didn't put that poptart in the microwave for 15 minutes...
😂
I wanted to express how excited I was that they sent her the best one. Cinnamon and Brown Sugar...but holy fuck i have just been searching the comment section instructing people they meant to say _seconds_
15 minutes means a house fire!!!!
@ Caleb Moktan, I really hope she didn't put that poptart in the microwave at all. It would be considerably better if she heated it in a toaster.
It might've been a mistranslation. I saw spelling errors everywhere.
@@aBMWEnthusiast Yeah, gotta disagree here. Microwave gets it nice and evenly heated. A toaster will heat the outside up and brown it, not something it really does well.
To see this woman who struggled under oppression trying new things with such an open mind is inspiring. Bless you!
I really appreciate you saying so! May God bless you!!!
@@tv-iv5ic God bless you. Happy holidays to you and your family.
@@cbot375 republicans want nothing more than freedom. We are a republic. Joe Biden is more on the socialist side which is what this beautiful women escaped from. Joe Biden will be a horrific president and limit our rights and freedoms. Power to the people is what a true republic is. The right to govern ourselves, not have our rights taken away according someone else’s beliefs.
@@hollybrooke322 biden is far from socialist. He's not even a progressive, at least not until recently. Trust me when I say: no leftist in america considers biden to be anything other than Diet Conservative. He's as middle ground as it comes and that's why so many liberals (liberals and leftists are not the same) and traditional/fiscal conservatives like him.
God bless you and your family! There’s a lot we take for granted...like our fellow human beings. Prayers for our family around the world!
I have never in my life heard the word "Twinkie" spoken so beautifully. 1,000 amazingly different things just happened in this 10 minute video. ❤
Don't forget Naughty Buddy!
@@edwardmarquis4411 that was another great one
Half expected Tallahassee to jump out of no where at the mere mention of a twinkie
@@MasterIceyy 🤣🤣 not many people will get that
This brought so many tears to my eyes... We, as Americans will never understand the gravity of how blessed we are. She is so humble and grateful, yet stoic. I seriously her and her family the best.
I'm so glad she was willing to open her heart to us Americans, even after all her country had told her. She is a kind person.
That is the problem with world politics, 99% of people on this planet are good people no matter where they are from, We are all the same and want a safe/happy/prosperous existence. But it only takes a few bad people in control to ruin it or send us off fighting each other.
@@ShaneMcGrath. facts
A Few bad Apples Spoil the Bunch I guess would be a Good way to Mean that.
@@ShaneMcGrath. There is truth to this. Often it is the governments that are full of hate and spewing the propaganda. I think that often the people can't control what their governments do and this includes western governments like the United Kingdom and America. Banksters, Wallstreet wealth barons, and politicians are the new nobility these days. The mainstream media is as bad as any country's propaganda machine. But hey the internet isn't all bad and people can meet and see different cultures.
The problem is we only ever see the worst samples of people in every country. The fattest, braggingist, and the most selfish are on the media that everyone sees.
“Put in microwave for 15 minutes”
DONT PLS DONT
Why tho? I'm from a foreign country, we don't have that but I'm curious why you and another comment told not to micro it.
@@elvisronsamoden2415 15 minutes is a really long time. you would microwave for maybe 1 minute to make it hot
@@elvisronsamoden2415 15 minutes is too long !!!!! You’ll melt ur food haha. I suggest putting it in a toaster oven for 3 minutes or heat it for 10-15 seconds in the microwave.
It might just be a translation typo, because I don't think anyone has ever microwaved a poptart for 15 minutes
@@elvisronsamoden2415 It wouldn't be food anymore. I wouldn't suggest trying it, it'd likely make a sticky mess when the filling explodes. I think it would explode lol, never tried it because it would destroy the food and I don't wanna waste food on pure curiosity of exactly how it would destroyed because it would be destroyed.
What a lovely woman. I wish her all the best.
I didn't expect a video about trying American snacks to make me cry, but here I am. If your team still is in contact with her please let her know how much love has come in from this video, from her wholesomeness, and for helping put into perspective how something as "simple" as a snack to us in the USA can be so dramatically changing for some. When she spoke of only taking small bites to ensure her family had some, for discussing her appreciation at the gesture but the moment she said she has NEVER had a gift even on her birthday got me choked up. And her comment that resonated a lot was how her perspective on when you have NO CHOICE in food (aka very little, bland, not good) and her finally learning options of food when escaping to SK was also powerful. What a strong person, anyone who survives and escapes NK must be but wow. Thank you for this.
The fact that she REALLY enjoyed Twinkies made me smile. 🙂
The joke is that Twinkies never go bad but trust me, they do, and when they do you will never eat another one again in your entire life. I think I was 6 or 7 when I had a bad one and haven't had one in the decades (never mind how many) since.
All I could think about was Tallahassee from Zombieland. lol
She made me giggle and tear up at how cute she was, like a little kid instantly, makes me think about the simple things we take for granted.
"Everyone loves a Twinkie" 😉
Of all the things that have come from the United States, the humble twinkie United the world.
It really upsets me how touched she was about something we don’t ever think twice about... #FREENorthKorea
You don't miss what you never had, I agree.
y
I beg to differ. I was taught to embrace and be thankful of every present, even if it's just a compliment.
@@dave_yeg8596 You don't miss what you never knew it's possible to have. I can miss having a car never having one.
If they discover massive amounts of fossil fuel and mineral deposits in North Korea you can bet yer ass theres freedom coming yee haw
@@lawlietway3733 Same.
This beautiful woman has had a hard, hard time from the looks and sounds of it. Good for her to get something that cheers her up.
This makes me so much more grateful because not only is she so appreciative but is immediately thinking of her family too.
This lady seems real nice. Like everybodys favorite aunt
Ikr gosh dang I love her so much she’s awesome lol
No joke, she acts almost exactly like my favorite aunt
She’s definitely my favorite aunt
There's a video of her talking about how she helped her soldiers see their family, when the military wouldn't let them. She really is one of the good people. I hope she's able to experience all the good things in life, now that she's no longer in north korea.
@Back the Blue based on what exactly?
when she ate nacho cheese and said spicy i just looked at the Takis and smiled
DAMN the way you worded that-
@@jordanmedina6196 ikr...
I wanted to see her eat them too!
She meant spicy as in lots of spices on it. Like flavorful.
Lol I read this comment before watching the video and soon I seen the takis this comment popped in my head 😂😂😂😂😂
Gracefully tearing up while saying you’ve never gotten a proper birthday present… I foresee a flood of presents coming your way ❤️
I have never wanted to send a gift to someone more in my entire life.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 she's a cinnamon bun we must spoil her with all the foods
Yes please 🥺
but regular CheezIts, please. Spicy are an abomination.
she'd be so confused about the term cinnamon bun QwQ
I take too many things in life for granted. Really.
She has never even had a proper birthday gift and is in tears receiving just snacks from others. May she live the rest of her life in an abundance of joy, love and laughter.
YES!
People like her make me appreciate the things I have even more.
Also the fact that an “American Bastard” as she was taught all her life she had to kill, sent her the care package.
Fvck communism 😥😥😭
Well, I think that nobody should have to live in a regime like North-Korea. It's appaling that the rest of the world isn't doing more to overthrow the government there.
Some of the most famous American snacks you'll ever see. What a treat this woman was sent. Thank you for sharing.
Sending addictive junk food as a gift is one of the most American things I’ve ever seen haha I love it!
when people say junk food is addictive I imagine them to be the kind of person who calls vapor from an ecig "drug smoke". It's not physically addictive you nut.

Every good Person deserves gifts
I have an aunt from Mexico and she always makes food that she says is really spicy. I have such a good spice tolerance that eating that kind of food is really just like eating anything else, the spice is more of a flavor than a feeling. I think it's incredible to see how instantly she tasted the spice in something that I wouldn't have even noticed, and how she noticed how salty everything I eat is when I wouldn't even think about it. It's so cool to see how people all over the world are used to their own types of things and anything else must be so strange, from anything from food to the temperature
I’m literally sobbing at 5am watching this woman eat a Twinkie. What is my life 😂
Not sure about your life, but YOU are apparently a caring and compassionate person, so I hope your life is good.

3:05 am here...yup....just snacks...never a real gift...man....GIVE THAT WOMAN A HUG AND A LAP DANCE FROM MAGIC MIKE!!!!
Not sure about your life, but YOU are apparently a caring and compassionate person, so I hope your life is good.
Bihhhh. I'm sitting in a parking garage starving to death and crying like a 2 week old baby 😭😭
I’m a Native American (Cherokee Indian), and probably old enough to be your father. I only have one child, a daughter, who’s a senior in college. We Americans know very little about the people of North Korea...only it’s leader. To see the honesty, thanks, and humility on your face, and hear it in your voice was very moving for me. It made me think of my own daughter and what she perhaps would have had to endure if she had grown up in North Korea. The gifts you received are pretty much taken for granted by we Americans. I hope that yourself and your family will enjoy them. The people (men and women) of your country deserve better out of their leadership. Government and it’s officials withstanding perhaps, all of you are simply just “regular” people, no different than any of us here. Watching this video showed me that for the very first time. I’ll be keeping a good thought for yourself and your family...thank you for the gift of sharing a little part of your life.
Most Americans know about North Korea and the struggle its people endure. Do not misrepresent an entire country due to your own ignorance.
@@GamerNerdess I don't feel that I misrepresented anything having grown up during the Cold War, practicing "Duck and Cover" in school once a week, seeing the fall of the Berlin Wall, knowing what the "Iron Curtain" was, what it represented, and the things that were kept hidden behind it by Communism, and away from Western eyes. I made a "generalized" statement that was intended as nothing but a compliment to one that has lived under, and escaped tyranny. How the hell you could take that as an insult, or ignorant, is utterly ridiculous. I'd challenge you to walk down the street and find one person out of ten that can even name the tyrant that's in control of North Korea, or knows what Communism is and what it represents. And, who would also know a damn thing about the Korean "Police Action." Why, and when it happened, the participants, the results, and if they have any clue what the 38th Parallel or DMZ is. The mere fact that you are unable to understand my comment or it's intent, took it as a personal insult, and gave you reason to personally attack me and my words, is a better representation of "ignorance" than any twisted misunderstanding of a comment left by me. But, that's an impossible task for one who is an admitted "nazi" such as yourself now isn't it? You're the epitome of "ignorance," who should be locked up and studied...or, at least spayed/neutered. You're contaminating the gene pool of this great Country.
@@GamerNerdess getting offended on others behalf are we? most Americans don't know a thing about what goes on in north North Korea except what they hear. sure some look it up but others don't think twice about it.
@@Suno-ta-sei click on the fool's acct...whoever it is admits freely to being a "nazi." I have my suspicions that it's just some idiotic "troll" who has no clue what a nazi is, or what it means. The uneducated, complete, trashy, idiocy of some is unbelievable...(I still say that they should be spayed/neutered and not be allowed to reproduce)
I was almost about to be one of those, “not all Americans!-“ people, but then I realized how TRUE that is. Literally the only reason I know things about North Korea is because of TV shows I’ve watched, which caused me to do my own research. Sad that these people aren’t having their story told😕
"It's hard for me to describe the different flavours..." Ugh, this really stuck out for me. It'd be like asking a person who'd been born blind and suddenly given eyesight to describe what a sunflower looked like.
Protect and love this woman at all costs! ❤
Watching her eat American junkfood snacks like they are rare delicacies gives me such joy
People often bash on American snacks, but to be honest, even though American snacks are often extremely unhealthy, they do admittedly taste insanely good.
American snacks are extremely good for one thing, refuel from vigotous exercise. a ton of salt and calories packed in a tiny space? Perfect for backpacking.
It makes me so proud and grateful to be an American!
It wouldn’t actually be that bad for us if we burned more of the calories we gained, it’s mostly bad because Americans like to eat this stuff and then not exercise. Of course eating junk food everyday is not optimal, but if you’re gonna do it, it helps to be active.
@@ronkledonkanusmoncher564 It's true you can work it all off. Hardcore backpackers and hikers treat snickers bars like they're gasoline for a car. That said, these snacks just have no nutritional value besides things like simple carbs, fats, and sodium. The fact that they're so tasty and easy to eat can make them very addictive too. Some people fill up on them instead of nutritious foods. So if you were to ONLY eat this stuff, or eat too much you would become malnourished and vitamin/mineral deficient. I'm more concerned about that than getting fat. Including them into a healthy diet and being active is no problem though.
That's what we'd rather do, feed you instead of fight you. Beans, not bullets.

I honestly wish we'd do for North Korea what we did for East Berlin. Just airdrop a crap ton of food until the populous turns against the current government.
@@matthewblackwood9653 That would be awesome wouldn't it.
@@matthewblackwood9653 agreed
We tried. The NK military collects it before the “citizens” can, and then either hoards it for use by “vips” or redistributes it as if it’s a gift from the NK politicos.
Everyone deserves to have a birthday present, that poor woman. She seems like a sweetheart, i wish her nothing but the best.
because they know what their country puts them through. its not the soldiers, its the people above. the ones playing god.
15 MINUTES IN A MICROWAVE .??? CALL HER NOW AND TELL HER NOOOOOOO !!!! 15 OR 20 SECONDS MAYBE ..She is so sweet . her story broke my heart ..what a kind soul
hopefully she'll notice before the pop tart is charred
I haven't had a pop tart in 20 years, but a minute or two in the toaster is how you cook them. I've never microwaved one.
@@dberry99 toaster taste better than the microwave to me
Or explodes all over the inside of the microwave....which I experienced once when I was younger. It was an accident!
Microwave'll ruin it! TOASTER ALWAYS.
Contact any American base & ask for Public Affairs. They could make things happen.
This needs more attention!
Public Affairs could arrange a lot more than just an interview. A base tour or even going up in a jet would be a game changer.
Yes
@@asurasyn 1st Signal Brigade is based at Camp Humphreys, so they could conduct an interview and entire PA segment.
@@asurasyn Better if its a Veteran from the Army with a few years of worldly experience. I know if its an Active Duty Service Member, candor would be an issue. The problem is not alot of American Soldier Veterans living in Korea. Dual Zoom should be an option.
@@JonMcQ420 I agree. An active duty serviceman in a format like this could be seen as propaganda, something the US military would definitely not approve of even if its done in good taste. Many service personnel have gotten into trouble for things they post on Facebook, UA-cam and Twitter, so its better done directly through the Department of Defense, or with a veteran.
For some reason , i start melting when watching videos like this.
This really put into perspective for me how fortunate I am to live in America. I was oblivious to the struggles of other countries for so long. I was almost 300lb 2 years ago, and have been slowly losing weight, but after this video I think I finally made up my mind to try and eat only what is necessary. I have always been a glutton, but now I just wanna eat my fair share and save some for everyone else, even if, in the end, it doesn't make a difference.
I've hated food ever since I was a toddler, have eaten just to survive, and have said that I wish I could just take a pill to get my nutrition. That changed today! After watching this woman, I thought about never having the choice of what to eat. I think I need to develop gratitude in a much bigger way... This has been a real eye opener!
Best wishes for success.
I’m screaming inside. Pop tarts don’t go in the microwave, it goes into the toaster. 🥺
Thats bullshit... you can place them on a napkin and put them in the microwave for 20 seconds. I know.. Ive done it.
@Margaret Bush I aint care if im being rude. Earths not a friendly place so f,you..
@Margaret Bush I was being a lil sarcastic lol. I know people eat pop tarts all sorts of diff ways but it's just mainstream way to eat it is toasted. Otherwise, it wouldn't be marketed as "pop" tarts x"D
@@1978mackdaddy Spread a little butter on them if you put them in the microwave, at least the fruit flavored pop-tarts. Makes them 10x better imo.
@@shadowgod1009 will def be trying this once I get my hands on some pop tarts. Is there a specific flavor u reccomend?
Imagine being so grateful to just receive some chips and cookies...It really gives you an idea of what life is like there.
I will forever think of her when I buy my supply of snacks. I’m so happy she enjoyed them so much.
to be fair most people would be grateful to be sent free snacks
@@lepotatopotato9418 Really?? NKorean soldiers are so poorly fed, many die of starvation.! Human excrement is used for fertilizer, many defecting soldiers have serious worms in their intestines. So, I think her gratitude and appreciation is more meaningful than just " anyonoe's!"
Yes but as you see they appreciate things and we just complain constantly.
She made me cry that bitch😭
It was so sweet seeing how much she loved the twinkies!
Most of us dont think of North Koreans as our Enemys, we think of them as people just like us waiting to be freed. Anyways take care, and stay safe💓
You're "waiting to be freed"? Where do you live?
@@1973Saved I think they meant “people just like us, except the only difference is they’re waiting to be freed”
we see the dictators as enemys
we see the citizens victims
@@urlocalcultleader3385 yes its called americanism (lmao not even a real word)
A country waiting for better leadership and some actual rights and freedoms for the people.
Pop tarts go in the toaster for only a few minutes 2-3. Please don't microwave for 15 minutes lol
17sec is the magic number. But I'm glad someone else caught the 15min remark
its just a translation error, the PD actually says 15 seconds
Yes I'm sure the person meant to say 15 seconds. I dont really like pop tarts but heated they are while lot better.
The idea came to me is if we could bomb North Korea with massive amounts of twinkies a whole lot of North Koreans may start 2and guessing Kim's deity claims.
@@richardmennel2415 It would be like the Hostess ads in old comic books. You could seize the missile silo while they are distracted.
HAHA...I was like no you put it in the toaster, not microwave.
It's heartbreaking to think the people of any country think we "hate" them, we may despise the governing body, and leadership, but we see all citizens, and people of the country as innocent participants. Most of us feel a deep compassion for what they're missing out on, and the freedoms that aren't able to experience, but we also understand that tradition is important, and we're a baby country compared to many others, so we need to be more respectful of what we think is ok, and what we think is unfair to them. I take the stance of letting them come to us, lettheir curiousity, and inate impulse for adventure find out about the world, we shouldn't cross a line by forcing it on them.
It’s heartbreaking to hear she didn’t get a choice on food until she came to South Korea food is an art that should be shared with everyone
I'm in the U.S. Army, my wife is South Korean, when we come to visit her family I would love to meet you and others and just hear your stories. You all are so amazing and strong and I'm so glad you all could leave and educate everyone on North Korea. I hope all this educate will help the world help the people still in North Korea.
Thank you for your words my dear friend
Thanks for all you do. Asian culture specifically southern and eastern has always gotten the best of my curiosity. Id love to make it over there myself sometime and explore. Hope your enjoying life, take care!
Was i the only one that didn't get married or have a kid with the locals while stationed?!?! I had a crush on a girl who worked in a restaurant and never had the balls to ask her out but she knew I liked her gave me something to remember her by.
It would be so cool if you two got to meet!!!!
Security violation much?
Now we know how to deflate North Korea's superiority: send snack foods to the soldiers.
I believe South Korea does air drop snacks “moon pies” with demoralizing messages.
No joke, choco pies became a form of black market currency in North Korea.
@@evakeeslar1766 Wait wut
@@cedrickvidal1362 yeah, North Korean citizens working in factories in South Korea would be given choco pies as an incentive. The factory workers would bring them back to North Korea where they could barter and trade with them as a form of currency. North Korea even banned choco pies in 2014, so now they’re illegal black market snacks.

"Naughty buddy" 😂 that's a whole other type of snack.
Okkkkk
This deserves more credibility
The best kind.........
Well you don't feel like you did a good thi g after eating them tho lol
LMFAO
IM SWEATING SEEING SHE CALLED THE *N A C H O C H E E E S E* DORITOS SPICY. I SEE THOSE TAKIS BRO NOO
Which is so weird coming from a Korean, I mean i used to think nacho cheese doritos were spicy till I was 10 but that’s because I have a white family who never made me eat nothing spicy before that
Spices are actually a fairly luxury item. They don’t provide much nutrition, so in a country short on food, bland food that keeps you from starving is a much higher priority than good tasting food. I’m willing to bet that most North Koreans have never tasted traditional Korean cuisine.
Agreed, the Taki's are way spicier compared to the Doritos
@@karlsmith2570 I've gotten to the point where Takis are as spicy as Lay's Lemon Chips for me lmao.
@@lynkrig5635 thats weird nacho cheese doritos were spicy to you as they are a common kids snack. No one in my family ever thought they were spicy, even the ones who dont like spicy food as adults. Its interesting to know some people find them spicy. Never thought about it.
if someone is kind and hasn't gotten anything in return they deserve some kindness and if someone is some sort of they get things in return they deserve a kind gesture also.
I’m an American. I think of and pray for the North Korean people often! We love you and care about your well being and freedom. God bless you!
"american snacks are really salty"
Oh boy, she's in for a surprise with that velveeta
I just introduced my Indian husband to velveeta, I needed it for a very specific recipe otherwise I don't touch it, he had mixed feelings lol 😂 Although I actually really don't add extra salt to mostly anything since everything is salty already, so it probably wasn't so intense.
It’s funny that she thinks the things are spicy but I don’t blame her, she isn’t used to things like that.
@@rapa2894 did you get it to make cheesy broccoli? That's the only reason my mom ever gets it. Lol
@Mel Hawk HAHAHA!!! It's absolute piss. I don't even eat the broccoli when she makes it. I feel bad because she loves cooking for us but I just can't choke it down. Slimey greens...just can't do it. Lol
Or the deli meat, or ramen noodles
"TWINKIES" are the way to world peace.
I loved the way she kept saying twwwiinkies. It was adorable. I just want to give her a huge hug.
Carpet bomb north Korea with Twinkies
@@floydlooney6837 I wish someone would bomb me with Twinkies.
Duuuuuuuuuuude...they are ☮️🌎☮️
im just guessing here, but im pretty sure she cant read english bro lol, especially something like "twinkes"
Wars are where good people are pitted to fight each other, and for some sort of idealism, much often by corrupted governments
It may not be the healthiest gifts but still a heartwarming video
This is so heartwarming, I hope North Koreans will eventually have their freedom
Hopefully North Korea and south can unite
@@qjtvaddict fr
Hope we just need a good armed protest to teach em
By the time they do, we’ll have lost ours
@@qjtvaddict Only if the South wins ideologically. Otherwise, why? Just to spread NK deprivation
You eat that many snacks in one sitting and I’m pretty sure you become an honorary American
I think I did that one day, couldn't decide what I was in the mood for.... So I had one cookie, a few chips, a piece of chocolate.... until I hit something I actually felt like snacking on. @.@ it was a weird day for me.....
Its actually heartbreaking watching this woman start crying realizing nobody's ever gotten her a birthday gift even. I hope more people send you many gifts Kim ❤❤
Such a precious person, I wish more people from NK got to experience goodwill and love from their fellow man...
"If you put this in the microwave for 15 minutes it'll taste better"
HOL UP...15 minutes...good luck eating it after 5 minutes.
I laughed so hard when she said that. I thought if she microwaves that for 15 minutes its gonna turn into napalm hahahahahahaha
Good luck eating it after 15 SECONDS! 15 minutes will burn your entire block down.
I was wondering how many would catch that. Actually the toaster would be better.
I did a double take and I was sure hoping the next scene wasn't someone doing just that
Lovs your Lightning profile pic :)
I like how "I'll just have a few bites here and bring the rest back for my family" changed to "dis shit is mine!" when she got to the Twinkies! Hahaha
lmao
Somebody tries stealing the twinkies then soon music just start playing
My favorite part!
LMFAO!!!
"You can have the rest. The Twinkies are mine!"
i find her story of never feeling the generous nature of a fellow human to be so saddening and im truly glad that she was able to feel that in her life and i wish the same to many other north koreans out there who have never felt the joy of a gift
god bless her she endured hardships ill never experience or ever understand shes just now trying snacks ive had all my life
When she doesn't even have words to describe what she's eating, yet for us it would be so basic 🥺
The fact that she kept using 'nutty' even for things with no nuts in it to describe the flavour bc that's the closest she could get to it makes me feel all sorts of ways.
Namely sad.
Right. She kept saying nutty and i was assuming hey tastes are different based on cultural food.. then i realized she was from North Korea recently moved to South Korea and that she doesn't have much vocab to describe her tatses. I SHED TEARS. WHILE IM OVER HERE BINGE EATING AND STUFFING MYSELF FULL BARELY TASTING WHAT I EAT ANYMORE SHES... IDEK. ITS SO SAD!!!

Worth it just to hear you say twinkies,you are a treasure
She hasn’t received birthday gifts?!
Goddamn this’ll be interesting when she checks the mail and it’s just *PRESENTS ALL OVER THE PLACE*
