I can never understand why someone wants to be so evil. They have studied in Switzerland and they have seen how normal people live and still they choose to be evil.
@Mohamed Mo I think you are right. If he gets in the right cicumstances. And has all the power himself, quite sure he will be the same. Most of the leaders of the world are narcissists. And narcissism is the true evil of the world.
I think it’s because of the position he gets to be in in North Korea. He gets to be the center of attention and if he chose to run the country like the western world, he wouldn’t as important.
being the official wife but lower ranking than the mistress must be scary, especially after his wife already had to go through everyone in her past life being killed. it's like she is being held hostage and any wrong step could be the end. i'm just so interested in the psyches of these people. how do they not break down? i would be absolutely terrified. it would be so hard to smile in public like she does if i was forced to marry the dictator and everyone i knew was killed because of it, and then to be outranked by someone who didn't have to go through all of that hardship, and my status wasn't guaranteed because he decided to have a kid with the mistress first.... so interesting. i wonder what these women really think about kim jong un. it sounds like hell on earth.
From our perspective I'd agree but I have to wonder if his wife even realizes just how messed up everything is. I'm wondering if wife grooming specifically was involved. It starts young and the intended wife is so brainwashed that just about anything is excusable. And his wife married what NK considers a 'god'. I've also wondered about Stockholm syndrome as well.
@@Jenny-sq2pr very true. i'm not sure how old she was when she met him. i assumed in her early 20s, but even before that i am sure she was brainwashed. im wondering if her opinion of him changed after meeting him? just curious about it all lol / edit: im sure stockholm syndrome is a thing too! i forgot about that.
These things doesn't seem a taboo anymore just because they're well aware of the nature of the regime. It's what you expect from the regime: Ruthlessness. As far as you doesn't face the same fate as not-so-privileged ones, you're good to go. It's easier to smile and stuff to save your dear life. You somehow block the kind, humane part of you to ignore these harsh realities. It's a battleground and everyone is in it for their own survival...
Exactly my thoughts! Her friends get killed because he chose her to be his wife, and then she even isn't highest ranked (not that this would compensate the murder of the friends of course). I wonder if there are psychologists over there. Guess not.
THIS CHANNEL IS A PROPAGANDA DONT BELIEVE THIS, HOW COULD A DEFECTOR KNOW ALL OF THIS AND THE FACT THAT SHE ESCAPE THE COUNTRY IN A VERY YOUNG AGE NOT KNOWING ALL. that is stupidity
@Asgar Ukuleles she's paid by the U.S that is why she spread fake news. How could she betray her motherland that is soo innocent, The DPRK doesnt even Send threat to the South for any no reason, South korea here is playing victim How dumb
@OOC is OOC POSSIBLY. So it could be fake news like the fake news about his coma and death Have you seen the video interview saying yeonmi is telling lies in her speeches to collect money? I wonder how true that is
@Ace of Space you want to know why his wife friends and family were killed? To erase her past. She was part of comfort group of girls, but she has to appear as pure and worthy of the title. For this to happen they had to kill everyone that knew her and her past. That's the reason. It was explained in a previous video in this channel
Brenna, Hi I agree with you 100%. Kim Jong Un's little sister, Kim Yo Jong is very deadly looking. Like a Cobra ready to strike. And as you know,very powerful Too, which is quite frightening not only for South Korea but for her own subject's as well ! I am glad I am American and NOT living under the Kim family rule ! YIKES !
@@bongbong8290 Thank GOD. I thought I was gonna get a bunch of hate on this, but you get it too! She IS. SO scary and her little smirk. uuuugh. Nightmares. You're so right. It's even worse that she's in power. I am sure it is scary enough to be in the same country with someone like that. She is like the Angel of Death. She might be Kim's henchman, you never know these days. I am African American and it's a humbling experience to see someone suffer more. (not that it's a good thing; no one should be oppressed.) As much as I wish I was British, at least I am not an angel of death. Good chatting with you!
I feel concerned for this woman’s safety. She’s very candid and as admirable as her courage and strength is she is making herself more vulnerable and I just hope she has a safety plan and security
Suzie, Hi I agree. You never know Kim Jong Un could send an assassin or something to shut her up. Does not have to be a male assassin either. Hope she has at least one bodyguard.
I heard that as the mistress is like 7 years older than him or something like that so his father didn’t accept her,as there,it’s ideal to have a 3-4 year age gap to look good..I mean, I heard about that, don’t really know if that’s the real reason though

@@kimilsung2608 people that go to this gyes link - it's propaganda. The narrative it's the same as some religions use to describe apostasy. When propaganda is izy to spot 😂
I will never understand how he and his sister both were educated in Switzerland but they remained just as small-minded as ever. Going away to school usually has the opposite effect on people, especially if it’s in a place surrounded by people that think differently than you.
I love hearing you speak, I saw your speech years ago and it moved me to tears. You are a beautiful speaker and have a talent for engaging people in what you have to say. I am so grateful you have shared your story with the world to shine a light in such a dark place. You are truly a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for bringing attention to North Korea and the struggles the people there face everyday. I wish nothing but freedom, health and happiness for all North Koreans.
I discovered this chanel a month ago and it became my every day go to chanel. Yeonmi is such an ispiration and a true symbol of strenght and courage! May god bless her and her family.
I feel so bad for Ri Sol-Ju. She’s basically being held hostage and it must not be pleasant to be a lower rank than your husband’s mistress. I also have to say she’s very beautiful.
They really make it so that even up to the highest level there is no security, trust, or friends. Anyone could turn on you at any second and there's always competition. That's an incredibly powerful way to keep people under control- how could anyone think critically when there's always such a strong fight for survival? Thank you for sharing, Yeonmi!
@@abigailjamir2528 That's the thing with East Asian ideals of beauty. There's only one ideal in each culture, so anyone considered ideally beautiful looks pretty much exactly the same as all the other "great beauties" of that country. Kind of like how many South Korean female Kpop idols look eerily similar to each other
Holy shit, that a WILD power dynamic. A wife, a mistress (with first born son) and a, by some accounts, a vicious sister all right at the top. That must make for an interesting Christmas dinner.
@@danielbergonzi7319 I was simply commenting on the awkwardness of that situation coupled with the current time of year. Next your going to tell me their is no Easter bunny or 4th of July fireworks in DPRK too.
Thank you, Yeonmi once again educating us about NK! Everything you do is soo interesting and like I said few times already-you're my inspiration! About the video I would say the dictator is very smart (of course), wary and designing (if I found the correct connotation in english). We have an expression in my country and it says - keep your friends close, as for the enemies-keep them closer. I think this is what he is doing. So few rabbits with one shot, even more than two. Thank you again!
I feel so sad for his actual wife. Imagine being married to such an evil man and then have to deal with not only him and his family, but a mistress too.
@@snowylove2002 as yeonmi said, she's rumored to be a scapegoat for kim jong un's decisions. so in truth, she is most likely not the "mastermind". nk government is just saying she is because it's easier/better to blame her than kim jong un for bad decisions, even if they were HIS bad decisions in the first place. they'll do anything to make him look good. the point is that we can't trust anything "officially" stated by nk government. they lie ALL the time and very easily. never take their word at face value. kim jong un's image is everything to them. that being said, she may have some fault here and there. it's hard to say. this is just a tinfoil theory, but her hairline is receding quite fast for being so young, and hair loss is a sign of stress or poor health habits (like an eating disorder). her cheeks look sunken in and she looks really tired to me. no life in her eyes. something is off about her, that's for sure. her sudden appearance into the spotlight has always been strange.. not to mention she doesn't resemble her brother at all.
I am just an old Irish grandmother, and I keep saying “I’ve heard it all now, I’ve seen it all now” and now this!!!, a mistress is higher than a wife??? Where is all this madness going to end. My heart breaks for North Korean people, if I had an island I’d smuggle you all onto it and feed you all up, we’d laugh and dance and sing and just love each other 🥰🥰🥰
I'm happy you are here in America! God Bless you! Be safe. You are beautiful! I'm so sorry for your people. Such BEAUTIFUL, Brilliant, Peaceful People. I love you all. And I pray for them all. God Bless and again WELCOME!
This reminds me of King Henry II of France. He was in love with his mistress but had to marry Catherine De Medeci for PR when they were like 14. Even thought she was brilliant, from a great family, witty AF and gave him 7 surviving kids, he always preferred his mistress. Once he died, she kicked the mistress out.
Your escape from North Korea story inspired me to go to Seoul to volunteer for an NGO that helps North Koreans- PSCORE :) I learned a lot and taught English to some North Korean students
Been a fan of Yeonmi's spirit since her Ted Talk, which eventually led me to this channel. Ted Talks are great. This channel is the best resource I think we have as Westerners when it comes to all things North Korea. The truth is, we just wouldn't know most of these interesting and often horrifying truths of this sealed in country without brave souls like Yeonmi to speak on them. It's wild that we know some of the gossip and inner workings of the country, and only because of a handful of brave souls
i just want to say, you're really brave for making these videos ~ ! also, i was wondering if you could cover the topic of giving birth in north korea. i'm really curious ~
I absolutely love your videos! I have been watching for two weeks and you opened my eyes to a part of the world I never knew about! I am planning on buying your book for Christmas c:
Yeonmi, I love all your videos and efforts to spread awareness about NK... But could you please turn down your intro music a bit? Since you speak quite softly I have to raise the volume (especially from my phone) and when the intro comes it blasts my ears 😢
@@kirkjohnson9353 I really tried to get used to it, but I can't, especially if I watch videos at night 😅 I thought it might be the case since for once I got the notification on time and not hours later. I hope she doesn't mind.
@@heathernikki5734 It's so nice to see people that are so respectful, especially in a channel like this, isn't it? I don't think asking for a tweak (that would also improve the quality of her content, making it a bit more professional) is that big deal. She can ignore me if she wants, she's a FREE woman and doesn't need you stepping up, especially with your rudeness 🙄🙄
Whenever I see those women, their smile catch my eyes. Kim jon un's wife seems to have more or less a forced smile whilst his mistress gaze/smile is more relaxed (like she is enjoying her position). You see this when you look at their eyes
Most mistresses are vipers, but think about it. She was raised thinking this man is a god and she probably thought it both honorable and advantageous to be his lover. Even if she ever hesitated or changed her mind, there's nothing she could do. Once the dictator decides he wants her, if she refuses she would be tortured and killed along with all her family and friends. All she could do is make the best of the situation, right? Just gain as much power as possible, so she could protect herself and her child. And remember, there's no assurance she would not one day be replaced by a younger woman and killed if she displeases the dictator in any way. This woman is basically the modern day Ann Boleyn.
What can lead somebody like Kim Jong-un to such level of cruelty and wickedness? I would say an incredibly sad childhood lacking of love, affection and care, bad treatments (physical and/or psychological violence), serious emotionnal deprivation, unhappiness, and lack of empathy leading to psychopathy, sociopathy and other behavioral problems !
Totally appreciate you educating people about north korea. But can someone tell me the song she uses in the background😅 i feel like I’ve heard it before but i cant get my fingers on it
Obviously, Kim Jong Un seems to have had no choice as to who wished to marry. If he truly loved Hyon Song-Wol, and had his first child with her, then why didn't he marry her instead of Ri Sol-Ju? Was the seven-year age difference frowned upon by Kim Jong-Un's family? Now it is being reported that Ri has not been seen in public for nearly 10 months now so obviously something is not good in the family right now.
May Allah help the North Koreans. It is insane how people just accept a whole nation run by absolute tyrants oppressing their people completely. May Allah open our eyes.
In the footage of the event where Hyon Song-wol is walking behind Kim Jong-un and Ri Sol-ju, you can just tell they were doing everything they could not to look at each other.
Isn't this common knowledge for every north korean? Of course she would know these details. I come from an ex communistic country, in the past people knew all details of the life of their dictator, is not that surprising. They aren't such private persons after all.
I still can’t believe that my dad handed me your book a couple months ago and while reading your book you popped up on my recommended. Love this channel

well considering that she had her appendix removed without anesthesia, I assume child birth is natural and at home.
Same! Would love to hear more on this. Or just the ideology around "childbirth and sex".
She said in a recent livestream that she will be making a video about this presumably soon.
Love your channel! Can't stop watching
You are so brave to speak out! I would be terrified
The Jersey Shore has nothing on these people.
Great video, as always, thank you
First. Hi Yeonmi. Love your voice for your people in N. Korea.
Thank you for teaching us!
You're awesome, I'm so glad for how your life has turned out!
But what if he kills the first son in fear of taking his "throne"
I wouldn’t put it past him. He did have his own brother deleted.
Yeetus the feetus
Are You crazy??
@@kimyo-jong9356 pls✋
@@kookiest-shirt2709 what?
using his own sister as a scapegoat for his wrongdoings and he should at least be a man
My day will be complete only after watching your video! Please keep posting it daily. Thank you
Never clicked so fast. Thank you and love your videos your awesome!❤️💯🙏🏼💕
I would like to offer her my most sincere condolences. Poor woman. Whatever material benefits, cannot be worth his touching her.
Kim jong uns wife is so pretty
I just love the way u inform us.ur voice and Ur style is amazing. Now i understand more about NK. Thnx
I absolutely love your videos! I have been watching for two weeks and you opened my eyes to a part of the world I never knew about! I am planning on buying your book for Christmas c:
The most interesting video I've seen in a while. Very informative. Thanks!
Yeonmi, I love all your videos and efforts to spread awareness about NK... But could you please turn down your intro music a bit? Since you speak quite softly I have to raise the volume (especially from my phone) and when the intro comes it blasts my ears 😢
I have thought the same thing. Thanks for mentioning it. I hate to complain about videos that I like so much.
@@kirkjohnson9353 I really tried to get used to it, but I can't, especially if I watch videos at night 😅 I thought it might be the case since for once I got the notification on time and not hours later. I hope she doesn't mind.
Really?
Lame. Stop whining.
@@heathernikki5734 It's so nice to see people that are so respectful, especially in a channel like this, isn't it? I don't think asking for a tweak (that would also improve the quality of her content, making it a bit more professional) is that big deal. She can ignore me if she wants, she's a FREE woman and doesn't need you stepping up, especially with your rudeness 🙄🙄
I love all your videos they makes me appreciate everything that I have now
I feel sorry for anybody that has to sleep with him.
I know. 🤢🤮
Whenever I see those women, their smile catch my eyes. Kim jon un's wife seems to have more or less a forced smile whilst his mistress gaze/smile is more relaxed (like she is enjoying her position). You see this when you look at their eyes
They are both very pretty. I wonder if they actually love him, or just really happy because they are with the most powerful man baby in NK.
Hi Yeonmi. Thanks for your work.
Lol on a note of curiosity, how do u know so much inside info?? Like I don’t even k that much abt My country’s leader in the u.s
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most mistresses are vipers, but think about it. She was raised thinking this man is a god and she probably thought it both honorable and advantageous to be his lover. Even if she ever hesitated or changed her mind, there's nothing she could do. Once the dictator decides he wants her, if she refuses she would be tortured and killed along with all her family and friends. All she could do is make the best of the situation, right? Just gain as much power as possible, so she could protect herself and her child. And remember, there's no assurance she would not one day be replaced by a younger woman and killed if she displeases the dictator in any way.
This woman is basically the modern day Ann Boleyn.
I would love for you to make a video on your thoughts of dennis rodman!
Besides being beautiful, you are smart, insightful, and well spoken. I thoroughly enjoy your videos!
What can lead somebody like Kim Jong-un to such level of cruelty and wickedness? I would say an incredibly sad childhood lacking of love, affection and care, bad treatments (physical and/or psychological violence), serious emotionnal deprivation, unhappiness, and lack of empathy leading to psychopathy, sociopathy and other behavioral problems !
Cameleonfleuri, Hi I Know what you mean. But in General Dictator's are NOT the most loving people. Hitler, Stalin, Mao Se Tong. LOL.
@@sonnycorleone4964 Absolutely!
Totally appreciate you educating people about north korea. But can someone tell me the song she uses in the background😅 i feel like I’ve heard it before but i cant get my fingers on it
Amazing!! Hope you get success to liberate NK

Very informative video.
I really like the information you give us.
Obviously, Kim Jong Un seems to have had no choice as to who wished to marry. If he truly loved Hyon Song-Wol, and had his first child with her, then why didn't he marry her instead of Ri Sol-Ju? Was the seven-year age difference frowned upon by Kim Jong-Un's family? Now it is being reported that Ri has not been seen in public for nearly 10 months now so obviously something is not good in the family right now.
Dank...😮😮😮😮
May Allah help the North Koreans.
It is insane how people just accept a whole nation run by absolute tyrants oppressing their people completely.
May Allah open our eyes.

In the footage of the event where Hyon Song-wol is walking behind Kim Jong-un and Ri Sol-ju, you can just tell they were doing everything they could not to look at each other.
His wife lowkey looks like his mistress
All of your videos are so unique and insightful.
Stay safe and keep up the good work Yeonmi!
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦.
you're a legend. We need more people like you
DONT BE FOOLED BY THIS WOMAN
If Kim’s wife said she has a headache tonight, Kim would take care of that by cutting off her head. 🤣
Funny isn't it
I am loving your channel!
Hello from India😊🇮🇳
How does she know all of this? I am amazed.
Isn't this common knowledge for every north korean? Of course she would know these details. I come from an ex communistic country, in the past people knew all details of the life of their dictator, is not that surprising. They aren't such private persons after all.
@@marishkaspirit fool
Love your channel ❤️
Damn i am seeing Princess Diana charles and camilla with kimjongun's mistress issue...poor Ri sol ju tho...
I can't evn blv someone evn loves this man
Thank you. You are better than a college course on North Korea. North Korea 101 Stay well.
Much support from Miami Florida
How are you doing girl?? Stay safe we all love you❤️
I still can’t believe that my dad handed me your book a couple months ago and while reading your book you popped up on my recommended. Love this channel
Why he didn’t marry her then ? The lover ? Poor wife , that most be very humiliating.
A very interesting video! I bookmarked it in my Pretty Good Bookmarks account for later viewing.
Looking at wife and mistress, it appears that rocket boy has a type...
