I'm pretty sure it was better in the middle ages. This is just plain disgusting, no other words do describe it. The fact that people have to go through this...
@@ANTIFAGlobal ahaha, this is too good, now I can add "defending North Korean dictators" to the list of what ANTIFA people are really like :) (they're some of the most ethically dishonest and horrible people in the world)
As a physician, I think "shocking" is too mild a word. It's surreal, almost impossible to even conceive. Thank you, Yeonmi, for bringing this wickedness to the attention of the world.
Be careful that you don't sound like a socialist, now. That's like saying that all children should have healthcare and tuition-free education, too. In all seriousness, the same people who pushed tooth and nail for abortion bans here in the states will never support any enhancements to existing support for the impoverished (who are waaaaaay more likely to have many children compared to the wealthy).
It is wonderful that you have been able to experience the joy a woman should feel when she has a child, and that your mum can enjoy being a grandma, and ‘spoiling’ her grandson the way I’m sure she wishes she could have spoiled her children. I believe your son will never want for anything, especially love, and that he is a light who illuminates the darkness in which you and your mum have both suffered.
I am also a mother and this breaks my heart. The thought of my sisters of the world suffering like this, is almost unbelievable. Much love to you Yeonmi! Keep educating people. 💜
This is so awful it’s unreal. Having a baby is frightening enough but wow. Add these factors into it and it seems impossible. And the poor babies. I can’t. 😞 God bless the people of North Korea and all people suffering from oppression worldwide.
YEONMI: PLEASE TELL YOUR MOTHER THANK YOU FOR FEEDING THAT LITTLE BABY TOO!!! SUCH A PRECIOUS GIFT WHEN MOST WOULD HAVE TURNED THEM AWAY IN THAT POSITION.
I am speechless from watching this video. I can't even find the words to say about North Korea's Health System, and what the women go through when they are pregnant and giving birth, feeding their children, etcetera. I am hugely inspired by your strength by exposing all the bad things that is happening in North Korea at the hands of Kim Jung un. Keep fighting to help free North Korea and North Koreans and never give up. 💖
Yes and makes the tragedy of childbirth that inspired an episode of the Resident look like a picnic compared to this. Which is a real life even to find out just Google and TH-cam either Kira Dixon Johnson and Charles Johnson about that sad story.
You know that the south Korean government offers you 350,000$ dollar for information or so called "activism" against the DPRK (North Korea) i mean that the stories are all so hilarious they can't be real
There is a special place in heaven for North Koreans, I'm convinced of that. I cannot even imagine not being able to feed my baby. God Almighty help them please!💔🙏🏽 My prayer is that all of North Korea FEELS our love and prayers!! We WONT STOP until they're free!!!
@Dinesh Truth what is your endgame? Why watch her videos ? Why comment on her videos? No one is going to believe you if take you seriously , so if your endgame is to try and get people to hat Yeonmi Park, stop watching her videos you're wasting your time. No one is going to stop watching her videos following her, or support her . Just because there is a random idiot on line .
Unimaginable cruelty. Thanks for spreading this knowledge. The most male dominated nations always seem to be cruellest. The world needs more compassion.
@Dinesh Truth Its wonderful to be able to express your thoughts without fear of retribution isn’t it? Freedom of speech or expression is a luxury everybody doesn’t get to have in this world. Actually, there’s a little bit of democracy left here even tho half the population wants to throw it to the wayside for an authoritarian dictator, but that’s another story. Understanding human rights requires compassion & unfortunately many people lack that quality. Compassion is something that can be learned tho, practice it sometime it’s fun
Thank you Yeonmi for this video! I made a comment a couple months back asking for how women in North Korea endured pregnancy/birth. Your videos are so insightful and give us a glimpse of what life is like in a modern dictatorship. My water broke at 33 weeks. I went to the hospital and was given such amazing treatment by both Drs and staff. The story of the women who gave birth next to your mother who’s water broke really rocked me to the core. 💔
Unimaginable. I do know that many women in the world still don’t have access to modern medical care and many give birth to healthy babies because the village women make sure that pregnant mothers are fed well, pregnant women in many cultures get the most sacred foods with highest density nutrients, like meat, organ meats, certain fish. but the malnourishment, the extreme poverty, the (compulsory) work that women have to perform in NK I can only imagine makes motherhood and pregnancy so dangerous for them. What a disaster. How extremely sad.
So horrible 😭. I had such a difficult delivery with my son, I can’t imagine the agony some of these women endure. I have an unrelated question (and I’m pretty sure I know the answer). Is there any kind of legal system in NK? Do lawyers exist there? Do the people have any recourse if someone wrongs them?
Oh as someone who had a molar pregnancy, this is bad. My treatment was not good here in the UK either as it was city hospital and nobody really seemed to care about me, yet it was a thousand times better than what I just heard. I had to have 2 years of follow ups as the cells can regrow like cancer. I cannot imagine what it would be like without any monitoring.
Most likely only if you have foreign currency. Out of reach for average person. There is a foreign currency only store in the capital but very expensive. Nothing in most of the country. Sad.
Elite have access to everything. Whatever is available in China they can get it too. There was a guy that was an expat in NK that did a video of groceries in the elite neighbourhood of the capital city on youtube . It is not the best like in US but they have access to everything maybe at the level of a middleclass person in China.
A lot of things we take for granted here in other countries, especially the United States. Healthcare, housing, food, hygienic products, and I remember you stating in another video and other North Korean defectors said too is warm water; especially warm running water in our houses. It’s just shocking but I know stuff like this happens in North Korea. Still hearing it and so much more is just shocking and the babies having to suffer along with the mother is just awful. Babies come into this world innocent, to see a mother fight to try to feed her little bundle of joy and hear about fathers begging for milk because the mother passed away is just heartbreaking. And we just look at it like it’s a normal everyday thing cause we are free.. for now. Keep spreading the word, Yeonmi! A lot of American’s need to have their eyes opened too, just to see how lucky they really are. 🙂 I have family in South Korea, so they/we know how lucky we really are, we listen to our elders pass on what really goes on in the North.
This is so sad.. I just had my daughter this past June.. I can't imagine my wife going through so much pain, I would cry everyday to see her suffer so much. We're so lucky to be born in US and my bless to have a great career to support my family.. crazy.. Whats the best non profit that help and support NKorean extradition?
We are lucky. Simply because we have a refrigerator and a car, or two cars. Most of the worlds population doesn't even have those things. So no, it's not normal.
This is absolutely horrific. So sad what's happening and has been happening for too long in NK. Made me feel like I was gonna puke because of how horrible it is
english isn't my first language too and in general i have a little bit of difficulty to understand other accents without any subtitles, but i'm so used to hear you talking and i understand perfectly what you're saying (well, good part of it at least. 70, maybe 80%). also i wanna point and thank you for bringing so much information and knowledge about NK... with all the censore we don't have any chance to know what's going on there and you make such an important role bringing this to us... thank you for your braveness
I'm having difficulty getting pregnant. It's just not happening for me. I can't imagine having to give birth or have abortions with no pain medication or not being able to feed my baby because I'm hungry. It's so crazy.
YOU, YOU are SO brave! Your English is so eloquent . The fact that you are sharing these truths shows how very brave and strong you are. Stay safe . New subscriber here . I am in awe
It is so difficult and heartbreaking to see the photos of those poor, malnourished, starving children in North Korea. The sadness shows on their precious little faces. The horrors of existing in NK are just beginning for them. Do they have anyting at all to look forward to?
Hi Juenmi, you are a lovely woman. Very interesting video. I currently live in China so I am aware of the cultural differences regarding abortion, etc. I really enjoy your channel. Today I saw a TH-cam video on TFI global, regarding Kim Jung-Il's relationship with China. They speculate Kim would like to improve relationships with the west and lessen DPRK dependence on China. They stressed Kim must maintain his nukes. There is also some information regarding his younger sister Kim Yo-jong, who they say has been demoted, to appease South Korea. This may be a good topic for a video. Have a great day☺️✌️
No matter how many videos I watch it still baffles me the amount of times you say "I'd never heard of..." It really opens your eyes as to how cut of from the normality we all take for granted. I truly hope within my lifetime, things get better fo the people of North Korea. Thank you for opening our eyes to the truly awful situation going on.
I'm one of the people that asked you about this topic. Thank you for making this video. I was really wondering especially after hearing you speak about the appendectomy - how a hospital birth would go in NK
Even though you upload every day every video is always amazing, well thought out and interesting. Amazing job yeonmi your passion for your people shows
🌼Dear Yeomni. It is very easy for many people to assume that now you are away from NK that all is well with you. This, of course, cannot be true 😔 Only those who have been through trauma in childhood that continues through adolescence into adulthood; can possibly understand how these experiences have shaped and affected you as an adult woman. Your courage is astonishing; I shall ALWAYS have in my mind your face and the sound of your voice as you fought to prevent yourself from weeping, in your first speech at the UN. I could hear your heart breaking 💔 I wept myself. I just wanted to hold you and console the broken and traumatised young girl that you were as anyone with a heart would want to. Since that time, those years ago I have tried to bring attention to the plight of the North Korean people. Each time I do I STILL hear your little voice, on that stage; pleading for help for your people. That broken little voice will always be part of you, protected and hidden away inside of you. Now you have a STRONG and loud voice that speaks and protects the little girl inside. I send much love to that little girl and the young woman she's become. I continue to wish you courage and strength Yeomni for the phenomenal task you have set yourself. Each day, know that people DO care for the courageous downtrodden people in NK and the plight of every starving, innocent child you fight for; because many of us, too, have our young selves, safely hidden within 😔❤️🌼
Yeonmi - I truly feel you survived your escape for a purpose and you are doing a fantastic job at fulfilling it. The unbelievably cruel world inside North Korea is unknown to most of the world, but you are bringing a shinning light of reality to it. I, for one, never knew any of what you have taught me and I will support your cause the best way I can. You have a hard job ahead of you but maybe if enough of us help, we will lighten your burden. God bless you and keep you strong.
I like you girl, your life stories are captivating, sad, because it's still happening there, no basic humanitarian help can come to normal north korean peoples, it's easier to send something to mars than in north korea! Have a good day Yeonmi!
This made me cry. Such terrible awful cruelty from the Kims. The suffering of women and babies is almost too much to comprehend. I wish there was a way we could provide some help now. I hope and pray North Koreans can be free soon. Thank you Yeonmi for another really informative video. ❤️ PS - can you do a video about funerals, burials and grief in North Korea?
That's what I keep trying to explain to pro-life people here in the US. Making abortion illegal does not stop abortions, because women that want them will still seek them from back alley abortion clinics or people like you talked about. It will just make abortions more dangerous.
@@ANTIFAGlobal if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it! No, she's not lying, and if you do think that she's lying, you can leave the channel. Idk why you'd stay if you think it's fake news.
Thanks for sharing this video. I work in the field of women’s health and what women go through in North Korea makes me appreciate what we have here in the US (even if it isn’t perfect). What is happening to women in North Korea is incredibly heartbreaking.
This video was so shocking on so many levels. From back street back abortions, to no medication, no painkillers, not even formula milk. Such a simple thing but formula milk could save so many. How can the regime ban abortion yet not even provide food for the mothers or formula milk for the babies? No point in trying to force women to breed a bigger population if most babies will die of starvation. Even though I myself will never have children I'm grateful my family is all in the UK and my nephews had good childhoods.
Why is it that I’ve lived in America my whole life but Yeonmi Park still has better fashion taste than me! You go queen! Love you so much and try to watch every video as soon as it comes out.
Hi Yeonmi! Thank you for the content I love learning about North Korea, even if it makes me sad. But I’d like to bring something up, there’s a commenter here who is hearing impaired and wants to be able to enjoy your videos. But he can’t because you don’t have captions on. Can you look into that?
I hope you know how grateful so many people are for you using your voice and sharing your experiences with us I will always take into consideration how my elected officials feel about North Korea and specifically how they plan to deal the Chinese government who is funding this nationwide prison camp. Never stop speaking your truth yeonmi because you are changing the world one viewer at a time 💕
I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my third child. And all my experiences have been so good. What a blessing to give birth here! Praying more for the Mamas in NK. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Yeonmi! The more I listen to these atrocities the more I pray that something happens. This and all of it is just the worst I’ve ever heard. What can we do?????
Thank you for telling these stories. The world needs to hear it. It must be surreal for you to come from that to the way things are in the West. As a mother and grandmother, it hurts my soul to think of those mothers. No mother should have to choose between children like that. No mother should have to watch her baby starve because SHE'S starving. It's an abomination.
It's awkward to ask this over and over again, but the only way that hearing impaired people can understand your videos is for you to turn on automatic captions. Every time I ask for this I get a flood of nasty comments telling me to turn them on, but that's not possible until you turn them on. Thank you.
Hi sir, I'm sorry this keeps happening to you. Idk what kind of phone u have...Idk if that matter but if u touch the screen different boxes or icons will pop up mine has one that says CC if u touch that lite box it will put the words up for u...that's what I do I hope it words for u & u can find the icon...God bless..
@@JB-cw3wv "captions" are unavailable to me. I have a Windows laptop, Android phone and my gf has an IPhone. Using the Yt app, clicking the [CC] icon brings up an autogenerated message "No Captions available for this video". There is something else going on, even autogenerated captions would get 95% of what is said.

That shouldn't be called "health care" but "middle ages medicine" 🗡
I think its worse than the Middle Ages...
Hell care... yes...
@@iszotic Iszotic, I'm hating myself for not thinking the term "hell care" lol
I'm pretty sure it was better in the middle ages. This is just plain disgusting, no other words do describe it. The fact that people have to go through this...
Medival health care is better than North Korea's
I’m so glad there’s someone like you to educate me about N.Koreans. I really hope things get better there
I was happy to find this channel also.
It's going to take more than hope. It takes 100% action and involvement from every free nation on Earth.

Wow the part where men go around asking to feed their baby is so sad. Never thought of that :(.

I continue to wish you courage and strength Yeomni for the phenomenal task you have set yourself. Each day, know that people DO care for the courageous downtrodden people in NK and the plight of every starving, innocent child you fight for; because many of us, too, have our young selves, safely hidden within 😔❤️🌼

I like you girl, your life stories are captivating, sad, because it's still happening there, no basic humanitarian help can come to normal north korean peoples, it's easier to send something to mars than in north korea! Have a good day Yeonmi!
So sad. My heart breaks for the nk moms and babies.😩😩
thanks for informing us!
This made me cry. Such terrible awful cruelty from the Kims. The suffering of women and babies is almost too much to comprehend. I wish there was a way we could provide some help now. I hope and pray North Koreans can be free soon. Thank you Yeonmi for another really informative video. ❤️
PS - can you do a video about funerals, burials and grief in North Korea?
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding
That's what I keep trying to explain to pro-life people here in the US. Making abortion illegal does not stop abortions, because women that want them will still seek them from back alley abortion clinics or people like you talked about. It will just make abortions more dangerous.
Context was a very nice addition. Thank you,
you are very graceful in discussing controversial topics. this is a great perspective on human rights and medical rights. thank you Yeonmi!
Yeonmi you look INCREDIBLE! 💕
I love your videos and thanks god you made it you and your mother
As a mother and human being, this broke my heart. I’m absolutely heartbroken. We must do something!
No, she's just lying for views to make money
@@ANTIFAGlobal if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it! No, she's not lying, and if you do think that she's lying, you can leave the channel. Idk why you'd stay if you think it's fake news.
So Sad tks for sharing Yeonmi
You are such an inspiration! A true martyr for freedom. Thank you for your constant education.
This is so sad. I shook my head many times.
This is the most heartbreaking episode yet
Thanks for sharing this video. I work in the field of women’s health and what women go through in North Korea makes me appreciate what we have here in the US (even if it isn’t perfect). What is happening to women in North Korea is incredibly heartbreaking.
This video was so shocking on so many levels. From back street back abortions, to no medication, no painkillers, not even formula milk. Such a simple thing but formula milk could save so many.
How can the regime ban abortion yet not even provide food for the mothers or formula milk for the babies? No point in trying to force women to breed a bigger population if most babies will die of starvation.
Even though I myself will never have children I'm grateful my family is all in the UK and my nephews had good childhoods.
Wonderful discussion, thank you.
Thank you for raising awareness 🤍🕊
Thank you for doing this video!!
Why is it that I’ve lived in America my whole life but Yeonmi Park still has better fashion taste than me! You go queen! Love you so much and try to watch every video as soon as it comes out.
Thanks for the information
If you are an American and you think you may have these systems the current method is to go to your local pharmacist and request the Day After Pill
Agree yet they complain about every dam thing. Nothing never good enough even being homeless. Has it made more then those in. NK
Hi Yeonmi! Thank you for the content I love learning about North Korea, even if it makes me sad. But I’d like to bring something up, there’s a commenter here who is hearing impaired and wants to be able to enjoy your videos. But he can’t because you don’t have captions on. Can you look into that?
I think the captions automatically show up after the video has been online for a few hours (which means not quite yet).
Very touchy subjects indeed
Thankyou so much. You are amazing.
I hope you know how grateful so many people are for you using your voice and sharing your experiences with us I will always take into consideration how my elected officials feel about North Korea and specifically how they plan to deal the Chinese government who is funding this nationwide prison camp. Never stop speaking your truth yeonmi because you are changing the world one viewer at a time 💕
This is horrifying to hear.. thank you for shedding light on this!
Instead of saying a North Korean defector...You should say I am a North Korean survivor. I feel you did not defect you wanted to survive.
I'm happy for your boy. At least he & her mother can now live a free and happy life.
Great info! Thanks :)
God bless you for really telling people that Life is important. A baby is human not inhuman. I will pray for your success.
I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my third child. And all my experiences have been so good. What a blessing to give birth here! Praying more for the Mamas in NK. Thank you for sharing.
If any man asks you to breast feed their child dont forget you have another breast . 😆
Request: Can we have more videos of you and your mother? I thought that Q and A session was really cute!
Oh Yeonmi! The more I listen to these atrocities the more I pray that something happens. This and all of it is just the worst I’ve ever heard. What can we do?????
Nothing to do, she's just making up stories so people will watch her channel
OMG! I'm crying now thinking about those babies.
This is just unbelievable HUMANS the need of one HUMAN IS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING HOW CAN ONE PERSON HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL???
In the UK farmers treat their livestock better than the apology for a health service in North Korea.
Thank you for telling these stories. The world needs to hear it. It must be surreal for you to come from that to the way things are in the West. As a mother and grandmother, it hurts my soul to think of those mothers. No mother should have to choose between children like that. No mother should have to watch her baby starve because SHE'S starving. It's an abomination.
I can tell this was hard for you to speak about. Such an awful, tragic truth:(
This channel really makes me so grateful for the fact that I was not born in North Korea.
It's awkward to ask this over and over again, but the only way that hearing impaired people can understand your videos is for you to turn on automatic captions. Every time I ask for this I get a flood of nasty comments telling me to turn them on, but that's not possible until you turn them on. Thank you.
Hi sir, I'm sorry this keeps happening to you. Idk what kind of phone u have...Idk if that matter but if u touch the screen different boxes or icons will pop up mine has one that says CC if u touch that lite box it will put the words up for u...that's what I do I hope it words for u & u can find the icon...God bless..
@@JB-cw3wv "captions" are unavailable to me. I have a Windows laptop, Android phone and my gf has an IPhone. Using the Yt app, clicking the [CC] icon brings up an autogenerated message "No Captions available for this video". There is something else going on, even autogenerated captions would get 95% of what is said.
My android also shows captions are "unavailable".
@@JB-cw3wv Phone? hahaaa... I'm using youtube in a desktop pc
I wish every creator would use them. My daughter is hearing impaired too. It does matter. 🙂
