- Vice founder Shane Smith managed to get inside of North Korea after a year and half of trying and is witness to the craziness of this hermit nation. Crazy is actually kind of an understatement.
In part 1, Shane and company speak to North Korean refugees living in South Korea, contemplate bribing a consulate in China, an eventually make their way through the DMZ into the land of the Hermit Kingdom.

Radios listen*
vitun paras juttu ikinä :D
😂😂
what
Hahah A good one, and probably true.
I'd go to North Korea just to hang out with the tea girl
yeah me too
Would u smash the tea girl?
Eli Jandrew No she'd probably just TEAse me HAHAHAHAHA
Mr. Ravioli Omg lol
by now they may have seen the youtube video. jailed her. tortured her. she is dead.
This was Vice at its peak.
Zatzinki factual
it truly was
@@hamschh they are better off without the neonazi and Shane still works there.
Charles d'Artois notice how he can’t do that because your not allowed to leave your guards dip shit. Try again.
Fuck yea homie
That poor lady in the tea room just broke my heart, this beautiful young lady with her whole life ahead of her basically in isolation.
Go rescue her then big dawg
@@JR-xn6yu if only it was a simple as that my good man
Wish they reunify,better for the people there
@@BeastMaster-jm5vf I agree my friend the other comment that I basically getting jumped on for sharing positive feelings then I get a crappy comment immediately I would go and dig and help if I wasn't in a major car accident 8 years ago which is left me pratley not being able to walk and a smashed I have to take 9 different medications a day at various doses so going and digging trenches is that didn't happen to me you never know
I feel like unity is needed worldwide p and on to 1 face-to-face levels as well anyway peace my friend thanks for the comment have a great day
must have deleted the comments how brave lol
That lost shot of zooming out while the tea girl waves to the camera is really fking sad. God damn
*last
Operation: Free Tea Girl
:( yeah man that was sad
+Pirate King I wonder how shes doing.
+Pirate King The whole country is like that. Isolated from the real world but told that the shitty life you lead is all there is.
The tea girl's name is Pyeon Young Hee, she said. Not Pun Yun Chi. As a South Korean, it's kind of weird and sad to see real North Korean living there. Her waving bye is so sweet.. sad somehow though..
Jieun Oh you can see that she is trying to embrace every moment of it
but we all heard her saying chi, not familiar with korean language tho
is there any way to contact her lmao
@@kaddou1 it only sounds like chi because of the amount of breath used in the h sound
@@emilie4279 You're right just took a look and she said Hee
@@kaddou1
Do you want her death by N. Korea?
I periodically come back to this documentary time and time again, and seeing Tea Girl always makes me sad. An innocent bystander who's literally known nothing her entire life, someone who more than likely wishes life was simple. My heart breaks for the people of North Korea, and the things they've been forced into with out any say so.
how do you know this? all they did was show a little footage and a little commentary, you can never be sure with this stuff
@@goese868 well yes but no🙃
@@goese868 in all honesty shes either being payed to spy on the american, or dead. NK anti american propaganda is contsant. Its too bad all of their people are starving.
there is a chance they get rid of her because of this documentary
@@Xfier246 this video is over 15 years old. In like 2019 she defected and actually got interviewed by vice
tea lady must of been so confused after her entire life being told that americans are bad but her interaction with them was so nice and they were actually really nice
In the other North Korea vice doc, simon mentions that Shane is Canadian when the russians are harassing them on the train I believe, so not as much negative stigma, but I get what you're saying.
@@one7decimal2eight both Vice and Shane are indeed Canadian.
If there's one thing a japanese cartoon about giants has taught me, it's that indoctrination doesn't go away that easily. This is kinda mean to say, but there's still a chance that in her head she still thought badly of our journalists. She could guess that they were playing a trick on her or something.
@@darkdiddler1439 no difference
@@one7decimal2eight they seem canadians and americans the same, white person who speaks english is american to them
Pun Yun Chi stole my heart in the end :D
shes a cutie in such a depressing oppressive country
I wonder if she and her family were killed by the government for their unwitting part in this video.
im about to write this...
I agree. I don't think she was in any sort of trouble. The tea shop she works at is part of the approved tour. They (the government minders, tour guides, Pun Yun Chi herself) know for a fact that some visitors would be taking videos.
Unless she said anything disparaging about the government, then she's in trouble. Until then, I can reasonably say she was fine.
theirs a hotel with no one in it!!!and your using logical thinking for this!!!not only that a man who can do this should be eliminated but at the same time Christopher Columbus was this man should we judge him for it while islamic religion are taking over with numbers and their priest are saying stop bombing and start having many children 5 a family and by 2050 mathematically they will be this world. while trump is doing the same thing!!!with a specific group of people but stilling the same thing
Damn... Crazy when you think about how the table tennis and the Billard with the reporter were the most exciting things she has done in years. you can really tell. Sad af.
ikr, in fact she is luck she aint workin in a field or is being sent in a concentration camp. At least, she had the luxury to see someone from the outside world and played table tennis with. Too bad the guy rejected her tea offer. That was rude though, especially to a lady.
That was so sad. I actually started crying when they showed her waving goodbye to Shane.
Yeah I felt useless.. I want to help her and many others, but who knows where those people in this video are now.
@@itslife1399 Probably beneath the ground for having fun with Western imperialists...
מוות what u mean especielly lady?
Rewatching in 2021 and the tea girl part almost made me cry man. She was so hyped to actually get to do something, some type of human interaction. It's like when a family member you havent seen for years comes to stay with you for a week and then leaves and you get that weird pit in your stomach because you miss them, but times 10.
reality of stoic life.
Samee she looked so sweet. I came here to this documentary with a morbid curiosity but it left me with sadness for those people :’(
She's still waiting for more guests
this was filmed in 2008 and im watching this in 2022. what a masterpiece! kudos to the whole team that put this up despite the great amount of risk!
This was filmed in 06
@@thomasm733 wow. then that makes it even more mind-blowing
Same. This is probably my favorite thing Vice has done. In part because it's fascinating and in part because of how dangerous and nearly impossible it is to get a journalist into NK.
This was fake…not buying it

#FreeTheTea if you want to see tea girl rescued
She's probably dead though. 🙁
She was set on fire for playing ping pong. Oh wait, that's isis
+Canadian Galaxy Bane what's the difference?
#FreePunYunChi
I'm sorry to be such a downer but she was probably executed for having fun like a capitalist. Or punished severely when the video was release. You have no idea how crazy the north Koreans are.
You know...it really is depressing that some people on here are like, "North Korea is right about what they say about the US!" Or, "I'd rather live in North Korea than the US!" North Korea is one of the worst, if not THE worst country on the planet. Their people have no culture, no freedom, hardly any food and worst of all they are force fed propaganda every day. Want to know why it's better to live in the US than North Korea? You can very well leave whenever you want without being captured or killed. Come on people, THINK!
I have to agree except for the fact that they do have culture, even if it probably isn't as exercised as in other countries
I love when Americans people say freedom :) I am always wondering if it's serious or ironic.
Pauline Dusolle Compared to North Korea, we are much better in that department. If you don't believe me, live here for two weeks then go there for two weeks. You'll notice a drastic difference.
Bacon Maken
I am not saying that living in North Korea is better, oh no! I'd rather live in the US than in North Korea that's for sure, I would not even hesitate for a second.
But freedom is only an illusion, in the US or elsewhere, but it just seems that Americans who live in one of the most corrupted country think they have more freedom than in every country in the world. And this is where I wonder how can people be so naive...
Pauline Dusolle I don't think we have total freedom either. Gays aren't given rights, middle eastern people are hated and white males are still more favorable. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's one of the most corrupt countries. Maybe one of the most corrupt first world countries.
They are so proud of that one American ship they stole about 60 years ago.
yea i would be proud the literally Americans had their ship in korean waters in a diplo crisis so yea they had plenty o reasons to take that ship
And America is the number one naval power in the world so for tiny little Korea to be able to take their ship that’s a feat
@@samuelsuarez6972 that's it, I'm stealing that! Shortening diplomatic to just diplo is hilarious, as is "diplo crisis"! Thank you sir
@@samuelsuarez6972 it was a spy ship that only had a few handguns on it because it was meant to look like an environmental research vessel. They were sitting ducks, even somali pirates could've captured that vessel....so not much of a feat
@@samuelsuarez6972 North Korea has literally 6 ships
That tea girl was soooo sad man. Life is so unfair for some people man
I feel sorry for Tea Girl.. she works so hard, do her best, and be alone after the group leaves, she's so excited to actually meet people.. despite the circumstances she is in.. deep bow for her..

That tea girl is kinda cute man, and you can tell she was disappointed when he said no to the ginseng/coffee request
Well wouldn't you be a little ticked off if you just spend 6 months waiting for someone to show up to serve tea/coffee and they just refuse?
Illiminatie overlord Gurglekoks I think he was saying no to the coffee, but he didn’t realize she asked if he wanted tea 🍵 right before that. Idk why he would’ve turned it down though, what a unique experience he missed out on.
I had the opportunity to go to Seoul and absolutely loved it...the women are gorgeous.
ionebp South Korea is on my bucket list, for sure.
@@realzachfluke1 No doubt, man...I'm really fortunate to have gone, and so thankful I did.
Definitely recommend it.
Did anyone else notice how the tea girl was having fun but the moment she faced the camera, she got really nervous? I really liked her and I hope she's wasn't executed after this documentary was released.
You should have taken coffee you insulted her hospitality.
Let It Go man
Did he have any money?
this was filmed in the middle of 2008, I wonder what happened to this tea girl since that time
@@PcGamerify she’s probably dead because she was kind to a westerner

Lmao same!
I’m not mad at the North Koreans I’m mad at Kim jung un
I wish the best for all the people who are suffering in North Korea and hope that one day they will be free
Yeah....So sad
@shadowberetta they are very brainwashed into the regime since they're children
@shadowberetta it's classic divide and rule. In order to rebel you have to organise and cooperate with others. They make sure anyone in any position to rebel is kept isolated in distrust of their peers. You never know who you can trust and who will sell you out. Kim Jung Un had his own uncle executed just to send that message.
Maybe some would love nothing more than to overthrow the government. But the distrust keeps them from organising anything significant.
North korean will never be liberated unless china and russia leaves them alone.
@shadowberetta the po
"cant bring in anything" as he records it all on camera
Its called a "hidden camera" bro.
They dumb livin in 60s.
@@markross7385 bruh the people sometimes looked directly at the camera soo "hidden" this is prob the fakest thing i have ever seen
Internut lemme just hire a couple thousand Korean actors to film a vice documentary real quick, that’s a great idea.
They would let you bring cameras in, just check it when you’re leaving, which isn’t that difficult to get around.
he says you can bring a "point and shoot" type of camera, which is what they use. not much.
Totally should have rescued that tea girl and took her back to Canada with you.

The balls to lie straight to ur face ... he said no cameras allowed, and I bet the food was good but u wont believe the truth ...long live gaddafi the great
They had not anymore
I hope the Tea Girl is still living and safe today. Seeing her waving is a very sweet yet sad moment. If she's still living up to this day, I hope she can survive and escape NoKor. But if she's dead now, I'd be out of words.
Read all the comments about the tea girl, waited till 17:50 for her section, couldnt wait to see what everyone was talking about.
3 minutes later, as she waved goodbye, knowing that was probably the last excitement she would feel for a year, I realised I would spend the rest of my life wondering if she was OK.

Genuinely felt tearful at everyone's favorite tea girl. Truly depressing images from inside this country.
It hopefully serves as a thoughtful reminder that no one holds contempt for the North Korean people; they are prisoners within their borders. The regime is detestable and must end.

Hell yeah!!! that seriously almost made me cry... lol idk I just thought it was actually really fucking sad! I felt good though when Shane spent time with her, that was pretty cool. to bad he had to get going...
THE TEA* GIRL MADE ME SAD, SHE SEEMED LIKE SHE HAD THE TIME OF HER LIFE
I wonder if she is still alive......
after waving at the tourists i don't think she is
Thats cos thats how she was told to act. In her mind, she was probably thinking something along the lines of 'Filthy Americans"
+Mc'Meme and thats what you were taught to think😉
just here to rewatch this. the good old vice.
I can’t take the marching and the music in the beginning! Gives me chills!
