No, I don't think so. What if one of your family members "fled" to ISIS? Would you be happy then? It's the same thing with these people. They view South Korea the same way we view ISIS.
No, I don't think so. What if one of your family members "fled" to ISIS? Would you be happy then? It's the same thing with these people. They view South Korea the same way we view ISIS.
i think i saw in an interview on a defactor that, people in north korea actually think south korea is better nowadays. but they just cant express it explicitly.
ubertser yea if they Do go back her and their families will be sent to a labor camp to NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN and since their a upper class family they would lose all that nice stuff and her and her family would sent to a death or labor camp never be able to eat or wear those nice clothes ever again
+AmericaTheEngravy sauce Your point is? That is a potential spy. South Korea imprisons defectors untill they Atleast believe they aren't spies. North Korea does the same and worse.
+TheLouisXXI I don't think they were acting but I do think they were lied to by the North Korean government into thinking that their daughters were unwillingly abducted. I mean, the North Korean gov't controls the media there as well as all information that comes in and out of the country.
Their the most elite of elite in North Korea. Those pins with both leaders on them are the hardest to obtain and are given only to the most loyal of North Koreans. They've gotta play the game if they want to keep their higher class lifestyle.
I truly feel bad for the father. He probably know his daughter will die if she comes back but he can't express his true feelings because he would die as well
Edgar Martinez Most families don't end up too well. However, I doubt anything will happen to these particular people, as the North tends to lessen penalties for those who appear on tv.
if the families believe that the girls defected and they knew about it they are guilty by association and will be put into labour camps. one father says let me go to see my daughter.... hello!!!! thats his help us cry let us go to south Korea. did no one understand? they need to escape too!
yea but u have to know that if south Korea allows them to see their daughters they can try to re-kidnapped them and bring them back to North Korea so the parents don`t have to go to prison or be killed because if u know(by their nice clothes) they are from the Elite Class that live in the capital so they would get bigger punishment for their betrayed of their(great dear leader)
If they return they will be imprisoned for life or worse. When the media attention fades I wouldn't be surprised if the family's of these girls were also imprisoned.
I'm married to a South Korean girl, and my heart goes out to these girls and their families. Both parties will feel guilt, the girls for leaving, the families for loosing.
The family being upset is truly fake. You can tell they are proud of their daughter of getting the hell out of there and getting a better life to freedom. The baby's reaction would be their true reaction if there was no camera 😂
If you leave your family behind then your family will be put in a concentration camp. Other words the girls that defected abondoned her family leaving them to be killed in a camp.
These parents are not evil. These are real emotions. They are brainwashed to believe that their way of life is the best and they want their children to be with them
Everything North Koreans say in N. Korea is either recorded or monitored or heard by the govt. No one is safe to express their own true feelings of the government.
@@juliaj7939 >pictures Like they mean anything as a proof in 2020. Unless some facilities take a good look at it, never trust a photo to be an evidence
Probably not quite. Survivor's guilt and PTSD are a bitch. She probably feels like an alien and misses her family, too. I hope they can be united in a better world some day soon.
I feel like the families are actually acting, and told their daughter/sister that no matter what, go to South Korea, live a better life. Whatever they say on TV, is just them trying not to get killed, faking sadness and “wanting” them to come back.
Have you guys noticed that the theatrics of the North Koreans is a bit like the antagonism Scientologists show? They try desperately to promote their way of thinking, but everybody knows it's a ruse.
I hope the girls told their family before leaving and to protect them the family is acting to be in pain and know any information 🙁... Poor parents and poor girls; so sad 😔
You can see him wiping the imaginary tears. Why do you even interview these people CNN? You’re just putting them at risk. If they don’t perform for your cameras well enough, then the regime will have no problem sending them and their extended family to a work camp for the rest of their lives.
The reason why they refuse to accept that they defected is because if you are related to a defector it lowers the societal ranking (songbun) of you, your family, and all your posterity meaning fewer privileges and a high chance of being left in poverty.
You can't be too rough on these people. Were they to openly admit that their daughter defected, they might get into trouble themselves. So they basically go along with their government's official story, according to which the 13 girls were abducted. Secretly though, they're happy for their girl!
The first family looks malnourished. That baby is not an infant. He looks older than one. The younger woman holding the baby looks angry. According to North Korean defectors who speak out about life in NK it is likely that the family of the restaurant workers were tortured and possibly sent to work camps or executed due to their family members defecting to the south. This is extremely irresponsible reporting. You went all the way to NK to film these poor people? It’s shameful.
This reporter is incredibly poking these families to say something that will get them sent to labour camps, and for what, views for his news channel.. this reporter's gall and/or naivety of the situation is incredible.
+Michael Onstad - They know that they defected willingly, and they are happy for them, but they can't show it. If they show it, the NK government will likely imprison and torture them. They have to pretend that it was a kidnapping etc and speak the same lines the party officials gave them.
So sad for the families. They r in fear for their lives. They had to put on a show, but know the truth. To lighten the situation- Not a single tear shed, LOL! I wish the families the very best and truly hope there be no retaliation upon them!! ☮
its like their acting, like they're like "HOW COULD SHE LEAVe?1 SHE MUST OF BEEN ABDUCTED" i think they knew she was leaving and i think they are just worried that if they're not showing even stunned affection for the homeland that something might happen to them too.
I don't buy it. Notice how when each of them is "crying" there are hardly any tears, if any? These "families" can't shed a single tear for their missing beloved???
“Yeah naw. I’m good here. I’m getting ready to go out with friends to an all you can eat BBQ, head to the K-pop concert, and get smashed on some soju. Then I’ll head home and take a hot shower and sleep in my Gangnam apartment. Peace fam!”
No they are upper class families so they’re living conditions are fairly good . This is practically the equivalent of a family member dying as They will never hear from them again : (
Have some sympathy for the family, people. They are probably crying cause they won't see or hear from their family member ever again. Even if they know they are doing it for a better life.
You gotta wonder why the family members are being interviewed in a hotel room and not their homes? Could it be that the poor state of their homes don't match those nice costumes/clothes that they are wearing? In the video the girls look like they are walking of their own free will with their own luggage. Prisoners are usually in hand cuffs and are never allowed to carry their belongings to their place of confinement. Just an observation :/
separation is painful, but for a better life, let them find freedom for their future, because democracy in SOUTH KOREA can help people live rich and strong, unlike communism, only poverty and backwardness
wait so why cant they be shown freely on the other side ??? there is always more to both sides... remember there have been plenty that wanted to return or "regretted it" but weren't allowed back too. i don't doubt they defected to the bright city lights or whatever but showing them on the other side by CNN should be a piece of cake to prove they are safe. something not quite right imho,
***** but the report didn't say that. They said that that's what their families "believe" and refuse to believe that their children have defected willingly. So my point is why not just show the kids in south Korea in the report for us? The north Korean families wouldn't see it but it sure as shit would legitimise the story showing how happy their kids are in the south ya?? And remember this is propaganda from both sides. So south Korea should be able to go, how many kids do you want for the cameras CNN?
Lmao at most of these comments. Like is it really hard to believe that maybe they're just upset because they're separated from a family member that because of the war, they won't be able to see for the foreseeable future? Like you know, genuine human emotion or something? Nah, that can't be it, it must be Fake Actors or "tears of joy" or some other shit /s
lol his father can't fake it. hes actually glad she escaped
He even says "let me go to my daughter" . He wants to get out himself :D
LOL, nice one
exactly. He didn't say let my daughter come back
Isolwi1 look at his face and what he said.it's true
***** they are not stupid.these people may be isolated from the rest of the world but theyre not stupid.look just like we can buy drugs off the street,these guys can buy foreign dvd,magazine,newspaper,or comics illegally.ive seen it on youtube how they smuggled foreign dvd,books and bibles and sell it illegally over there.these guys know theres better world outside.theyre not dumb

Fear's a great motivator.
No, I don't think so. What if one of your family members "fled" to ISIS? Would you be happy then? It's the same thing with these people. They view South Korea the same way we view ISIS.
deep down they are happy for their daughter, he just can't express it on television otherwise they will get put in those camps
pretty sure deep down he really wants his daughter to return cause the family bout to get an all expense paid vacation to the labor camps.

North Korea does the same and worse.

lol. oh man...
The Families where most likely told to do this since there is media in North Korea. I'm not buying it and you can tell they are acting it
No they're doing it bc if they're daughters did defect the family is sent to concentration camps for three generations
+TheLouisXXI I don't think they were acting but I do think they were lied to by the North Korean government into thinking that their daughters were unwillingly abducted.
I mean, the North Korean gov't controls the media there as well as all information that comes in and out of the country.
+TheLouisXXI good point... probably the parents are happy that their daughters now live in s.k.
Their the most elite of elite in North Korea. Those pins with both leaders on them are the hardest to obtain and are given only to the most loyal of North Koreans. They've gotta play the game if they want to keep their higher class lifestyle.
vaxick by eyeballing it, they have the standard pins. The ones with them smiling are the hardest ones but yes they are playing the game
It seems that these family members are forced to cry and are forced to be angry by the evil government
Yep. It is fake.
Thunderbolt Williams
And obviously dressed up to hide the extreme poverty they all live in.
how do you wanna fake such tears
You fucker have no proof of that
exaggeration by western media
I truly feel bad for the father. He probably know his daughter will die if she comes back but he can't express his true feelings because he would die as well
TO ALL DEFECTORS, IF YOU SEE THIS VIDEO. DO NOT TURN BACK TO THE PAST. KEEP MOVING FOWARD AND DO NOT REPATRIATE TO NK
It’s a shame that the family members actually have to do this level of acting just to avoid being executed
fake tear or tears of joy
Tears of joy. They are happy for her but they miss her.
wba2987 A true parent I hear will risk there own lives for giving there kids a better life. Still a terrible situation to be in.
2:31 the slight smile from the mother that she know her daughter will live a 100% full life
Do not ever go back! you will die!!!!
yea that is y a lot of North Koreans have stay either in S Korea or in the West like the US or Canada
I think Kim will spin it as a RESCUE you know since they were "abducted" and he made the issue so public, so he will be a hero to the nation
Yeah thats true
That's false u fucking idiots
It's horrifying to even contemplate what the north Koreans are doing to these girls' families in response to their defection.
Edgar Martinez
Most families don't end up too well. However, I doubt anything will happen to these particular people, as the North tends to lessen penalties for those who appear on tv.
Those fake tears at the end
maybe real tears tho, afraid of punishment from their government
Or tears that they didn't get to with their children...
@@ianmarvinbolivar1848 nah just over 20 years of faking it at gunpount will make anyone be able to shed a tear at will😅😅
What's insane is I can't tell if there crying to save themselves or if they really believe there daughter was kidnapped
please return, or for some reason we will be punished....
mouth says come back, the heart says well done, bitcccch!
if the families believe that the girls defected and they knew about it they are guilty by association and will be put into labour camps. one father says let me go to see my daughter.... hello!!!! thats his help us cry let us go to south Korea. did no one understand? they need to escape too!
yea but u have to know that if south Korea allows them to see their daughters they can try to re-kidnapped them and bring them back to North Korea so the parents don`t have to go to prison or be killed because if u know(by their nice clothes) they are from the Elite Class that live in the capital so they would get bigger punishment for their betrayed of their(great dear leader)
@@apple_dragon226 , they don't just allow anyone to go work outside of the country. There is a lot of screening and preselection.
now those girl send money them..
funny situation!
Run and never look back

They have to say this regardless of what they believe/know... otherwise the entire family is arrested.
Cathy Lane not like this acting gonna help them not going in to the prison lol
These parents are not evil. These are real emotions. They are brainwashed to believe that their way of life is the best and they want their children to be with them
Nah it's fake, they emotion are base din the fact if they do this interview whether or not, they will still be sent to camps or executed
i wish their families could go with them :(
Naaahh, I think in a few months they gonna at fire line if that gal, not comeback 😐
Everything North Koreans say in N. Korea is either recorded or monitored or heard by the govt. No one is safe to express their own true feelings of the government.
Such a sad situation...no happy endings for anyone except maybe a few parents who are content in that there children are free...
This just hit me: what if those so called "families" aren't even families? There actions look real, but cinema real. They could be actors.
They have family pics to prove that she's their daughter

he used work for local news in my home town Brownsville tx. that is awesome he made it big also
Judging by their clothes, those are high ranked officials
I thought family members were directly executed or send to camps?
Tears before execution.
I hope the girls told their family before leaving and to protect them the family is acting to be in pain and know any information 🙁... Poor parents and poor girls; so sad 😔
So three years later what has happened to the families of the defectors in the meantime?
Meanwhile in the defector camp in South Korea :
"YAY HAPPY HAPPY FREEDOM YEAH YEAH NO MORE FAT KIM !"
Lmao at 1:00 the mother is probably really saying "help me I'm about to be executed" and the translator just gave another translation
'Let me go to my loving daughter... please...
...and let me bring her mom, her two sisters, her four cousins and her uncle Ray'.
Why ALL CNN videos are comparatively low volume???
Nothing I can help to fix it....

This is sad I feel bad for the families who will never see them again : (
They said that they went there willingly, but when the family wanted to meet/speak to them, they fuckin reject them
Good luck girls on your new life. And congratulations. Never look back!
David, you are absolutely right. Otherwise those families will die or torture in the prision.

The reason why they refuse to accept that they defected is because if you are related to a defector it lowers the societal ranking (songbun) of you, your family, and all your posterity meaning fewer privileges and a high chance of being left in poverty.
Exactly. They're crying because they've already had severe consequences 😢
So where is the follow up video of these liberated workers? Or a year later have they simply disappeared from the planet?
This is why getting brain washed is so scary.
Soldier pointing gun in the back: Good acting
In robotic voice: “My loving daughter. Let me go to my loving daughter.”
Fake tears of sadness, but true tears of joy displayed by d family

They probably have to say that so they won't be killed for their family member defecting :(
Everytime i see kids in north korean reports my heart breaks thinking they need to grow up there
Try as they might they can never truly clean the sound of happiness from their voices.
So much denial. They know they left voluntarily but can’t admit it out loud because it puts their lives at risk.
They are probably in on it and are genuinely happy! Or they should be.
+Michael Onstad - They know that they defected willingly, and they are happy for them, but they can't show it. If they show it, the NK government will likely imprison and torture them. They have to pretend that it was a kidnapping etc and speak the same lines the party officials gave them.

Won't the whole family end up in prison for one of them escaping?
To bad they lack basic telephone services that most of us have taken for granted for 100 years.
I don't buy it. Notice how when each of them is "crying" there are hardly any tears, if any? These "families" can't shed a single tear for their missing beloved???
Those crying parents had something that just did not seem genuine about their plea. Also don't they lock the families up when people defect?
They are actually happy their daughter is free now
So much drama but no visible tears.
Crying, but no tears.
And inside, they're proud of them.
“Yeah naw. I’m good here. I’m getting ready to go out with friends to an all you can eat BBQ, head to the K-pop concert, and get smashed on some soju. Then I’ll head home and take a hot shower and sleep in my Gangnam apartment. Peace fam!”
I'm almost certain that they are saying these things so they don't get sent to a concentration camp or be executed
After the interview i am sure they are happy that they are now in south korea.
No they are upper class families so they’re living conditions are fairly good . This is practically the equivalent of a family member dying as They will never hear from them again : (
I think those girls might be happy where they are!!! Sad situation
this is so sad..why is this still happening...why are we allowing it?
The families still alive?
That interviewer, who tells the heartbroken family that she might’ve defected willingly...
They must be actors. Nice acting 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have some sympathy for the family, people. They are probably crying cause they won't see or hear from their family member ever again. Even if they know they are doing it for a better life.
If they are in South Korea, then they are safe now.
They're like "fuuuuck now we will be killed because she left"
I wonder if the families would say that they were in SOUTH Korea?
Haha, nice try, North Korea.
