Prepare yourselves to hear the story of Yeonmi Park because it’s heavy.
When she was a teenager, Yeonmi escaped from North Korea to China. What she experienced was horrible - being sold as a sex slave by border officials, walking across Mongolia in the middle of winter and nearly dying of starvation.
But Yeonmi made it out alive, and now she lives happily in Chicago. She is outspoken about the terrible regime in North Korea and she voices her thoughts on her TH-cam Channel, and through various best selling books. I invite you to share your opinions about Yeonmi’s story and about North Korea in general in the comments below.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and remember that freedom is not always free.
I’ll see you in the next year when I’m kicking off my Saudi Arabia videos!!!

What are your thoughts on North Korea? Would love to hear from you. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
Drew, People, who goes to North Korea they are not allowed to see the reality of North Korean and Korea. Whatever we know with social media. One thing for sure, Kim Jong-Un is not good and people are suffering. I saw same conditions in Libya , while working in 2001. People were not allowed to go out of country, they had no idea about outside world.
You have written subtitles to only your conversation not hers!!!! What part you didn't want us to understand?
@@drhindi9265 What's the condition of the country now?
@@haris9481 I have left Libya in 2003. I have no idea at all. I heard and watched in Social media that it’s worse now. In 2001-2003 I was there and everything was good, people were good and co-operative.
Thoughts on DPRK? Probably the next regime that needs to be addressed ha. There's no reason a dictator should treat a country full of people like that.. and to think she wasn't treated much better on either side of the border is equally sad
Thank you for your heartfelt support everyone ♥️
So u watched these video we love u yeonmi❤❤
We love you ❤️❤️❤️
You’re so strong
I really appreciate you and I'm glad you are here! ❤
We were impressed by your bravery to escape north korea and stand with the truth about the country, We love you
As a refugee myself who walked almost a month to escape for freedom, I must say how thankful we are for those countries that allow refugees to start again. 🌸
From where u are ?
I love that you don’t have you owe me attitude, rather thankful 🙏
Good for you. We in the west don’t value our freedom like others do, because we don’t know any better..
@@matty6848 lol
You're amazing, and you deserve this.
Wow her ability to converse in English improved tremendously. Very far from her 2014 speech. She's now speaking in a natural way. So glad she has a fighting spirit to live and learn.
As if that’s the only way to justify her existence and validation. No one needs to speak English in a “natural” way to get their point across. She got into Columbia in NY with her “unnatural” way of speaking English so.
@@fomosexual bro the op was just complimenting her
@Luis guzman torrente I am calm? What makes you think I wasn’t. Lol
@@fomosexual op is just saying her english has improved and it's very impressive - learning any language is difficult, but english is perhaps one of the most difficult languages to learn. her english back then was still fine and allowed her to get her point across as well.
TH-cam posters "Yoel And Mari," Yoel is from Cuba, he learned English by watching US television. BTW you guys should watch a few of their postings, you will develop a whole new appreciation for what we have in the USA.
“If you have a meaning, everything is bearable” - this is one of the most insightful statements I've ever heard. Mad respect, Yeonmi.
"Freedom needs responsibility, discipline, and virtue." What wise words from her.
th-cam.com/video/vBwZjBMbsK0/w-d-xo.html
That’s a video with someone who actually does research on topics before interviewing people does
I agree...
A-freaking-MEN!!!
Freedom, at the same time, have a cost to it. There must be a balace between freedom and communism. USA is a example of when there is too much freedom. I think Singapore should be the model country in this case.
I’ve watched many of her speeches and interviews and what always hits me is when she says “People always say I was so brave for crossing to China. And I have tell them I wasn’t brave, I was just starving to death!”
Yeh she said the pain of starvation is worse than being raped. She actually said she’d rather be raped than go through the pain of severe starvation again. Can you imagine that being in that much physical pain from starving you’d rather be attacked and raped? I can’t even work that out.
She never starved..her own mom said it
@@nicanorstrugaru7899 she was less then 80lbs, I don't think she was eating a whole lot
@@brianjschumer shes been caught lieing on numerous occasions for cash. shes a grifter.
@@nicanorstrugaru7899 do you know her mom?? where is the footage??
I watch all of Yeonmi’s videos. She has a way of telling her stories that make me feel her pain. It breaks my heart thinking about all of the people still living in that hell. Every time I watch her videos I wish I could reach through the screen and hug her.

Look up yeonmi Park exposed or yeonmi Park lies. Her story changes frequently and she's regularly caught lying. Her story is greatly exaggerated. There's multiple versions of her story and the sex work one is only one of her many versions. Not saying life in North Korea is not hard. But I am saying that yeonmi Park is a liar who's using an exaggerated version of her experience to lie and make money.
@@neoxyte agreed, can’t believe I was even a fan. Got educated by someone else yesterday. Can’t believe I was blinded by this…..
I'm sure ur right but its more of lies mixed in truth. Most people I see that call her out believe NK propaganda. Not saying u do but that does say something.
@@Yomamadrunk she’s a straight up liar, I feel bad for her, but she was in the top 1% of elite lifestyle, and couldn’t believe other defectors were from the same country, she’s a liar, using NK for internet clout and money.
Yeonmi is a precious soul. I’m so glad she escaped and can tell us about her experiences. God bless her.
what she said about all the divison in america at the end is so true. it’s happening all over the world now
Yes
It's sadly a devide between the older and younger generation
@@TsukiCondor It’s not really a divide between the young and old, it’s a divide between those that wish to fundamentally alter America’s institutions and those that wish to keep the spirit of America alive. When you hear all the talks of “equity” and “diversity”, your ears should perk up. These are the types of people who are seeking to completely flip the hierarchy of values in the United States.
@@zachrowell6795 That too. Which is unfortunate since we where a country built on immigration. Like for example the Irish and Italians and Chinese of the 19th century. All of where groups that where marginalized and seen as unhuman. And unfortunately where seeing the same with Middle Easterns and other groups today.
@@zachrowell6795 "Hierarchy of values"? And who is at the top of that 'hierarchy'? White Americans? America was built on racism and the unjust system of White Supremacy over non-Whites. That is a problem exclusive to the United States.
Her story was terrifying but she has turned it into such an inspiring thing. So much respect to her. And her love of America is more than some people I know have. She is an example of what being American is all about.
YeH
Her sceleton body gives me chills
Look, she was saved by a miracle of God, through missionaries...meanwhile, nothing better goes for her peoples no mater what she does as an human rights activist...maybe this should ring a bell ???
@@angetodac Why not both? One does not exclude the other, but if you ar Christian you should be compelled to do something as well
@@thethirdtime9168 like what? I propose to american single women to go ask nk men for marriage from mr kim...but hey, china gives 100k usd reward for catching one who escapes...instead of blaming others for doing nothing maybe you should come with an ideea that brings results...if you can...and have nothing else to do...because some peoples are strugling to survive even in rich and free countries... Have u checked south coreean delivery employes dying because of exhaustion at 25, working under AI surveyance?...just one exemple...
When she started saying the price they sold them for, I started crying. How can someone do this to a human being... selling them? This is made me so sad.
Cool story bro
Welcome to the real world.
I'm Chinese and this is still happening here every day, despite how terrible the situation is the government is still not willing to do more, ppl prefer male kids so they abandon girls or kill them right after they are born, which leads to 30M more men than women, and what's the solution? stop killing girls? no, they chose human trafficking, this country is hopeless
@@MHG796N it can happen to ANYONE, nobody safe out here.
Those last parts when Yeonmi points out how US is beginning to lose its traction on freedom and how it is becoming like North Korea, from a defector's point of view, Americans must appreciate the liberty they thought they never had.
“Freedom without meaning and virtue is anarchy” she is really wise. Great video as always!
Anarchy is "self governance" - and should be what everyone wants... This word is constantly miss used.
@@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen no one should want anarchy. Don't spread such dangerous false knowledge. Anarchy is total freedom, which means you could kill someone and say "I'm free and I can do anything I want" There always has to be a centralised controlled system to prevent complete disorder because anarchy is dangerous and unruly
@@happy_and_humble being free means people can’t intrude on your freedoms ie u can’t be a slave or coerced into something or raped or murdered so if someone kills you you aren’t free ofc. Non aggression principle - violence upon someone else is immoral and never allowed besides self defence or when someone consents
@@Ella-le4lk I know that, and I agree. I was just saying that anarchy isn't good. My explanation of that wasn't perfect tho so thanks for correcting me
@@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen i want an imperial Republic system
I just finished reading her book. This interview only touched the surface compared to what she went thru… she is the epitome of resilience. Highly recommend her book.
Thank you for the way you handled this interview.
She is leader material, so wise and she knows the answers to the problems in this world
she is the whole definition of survivor , bravery and inspiration. what a motivation she carrying inside hats off to her !
totally, I am fascinated by how mentally stable she is after going through hell.
THANK YOU for spreading her message, and supporting her. She is brilliant. Every human needs to hear this. I’m sending you both all my love❤️
Nice good 👍
❤️❤️
She actually lies about a lot of stuff
She’s a grifter looking for $$$
@@drewbinsky Drew how dare you, you glorified NK said nothing but GOOD THINGS! You NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT NK!! Everyday she was living through an atrocity as well as well as millions of people dead an alive have been living through this atrocity up until current and future of the NK people whom DONT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE BEING OPPRESSED
She is right about reading more and knowing people more, with less social media wonderful interview. She also mentioned virtue. She knows America better than many Americans. We shouldn't take our freedom for granted.. Extraordinary!
Everyone should see this and listen to what she has to say.
I'm 79 and had just about given up on the US. She gives me hope...
She's so beautiful too.
I am glad she's having a better life. No one deserves to live in a country with a fate worse than death.
She is a wonderful soul, but honestly, is she really free psychologically from the horror that she endured. What a shame, I truly wish her the very best.
She's had so much surgery that the pacific ocean now has only the second biggest collection of plastic
@@a.p.5825 Wow that was interesting 🤔
@@a.p.5825 Her looks has changed so much compared to her book cover. Well I guess if she's happy then so be it.
@@phoenixskyward9972 she seems to being ok to me. But that’s the thing. Never get too comfortable or relaxed because that’s when you become vulnerable. Maybe keeping some of those memories alive keeps her sharp and focused??!
Her idea of freedom makes so much sense. Just freedom is not enough we need discipline to sustain it.
I agree. Very insightful words of wisdom
She’s a liar
I could quite literally never. She is so brave. Thank God we have people like this in the world.
her words are so touching! and she is so intelligent!!
Powerful interview. As Americans we must be able to listen in order to learn where our blind spots are leading us away from freedom.
Even if she contradicts and changes the story sometimes we should listen.
@@dou_june0v037 CCP shill alert! ⚠️
@@dou_june0v037 you shouldn’t have to ask for freedoms and no government should ever have the authority to grant you freedom. Every human should be born with freedom what makes you think it’s the governments job to give you freedom or we should ask for it? It’s a fundamental basic right.
@@matty6848 Well maybe then the Americans needs to understand what the 2nd amendment is for, and start to get rid of these psychopaths.
Her love for America is more patriotic & more wholesome than many people who lived their entire lives in the US. I adore her!
I really hope we don't let her down.
it’s because she finds refuge & safety here, America is beautiful but us as Americans don’t see the true freedom we have.
Nobody will start the nuclear war to save nk people from dying of starvation...realistic talking..If CHINA is the key, as she said, she must be a dreamer...lets hope a lucky one twice...who knows?
As a veteran, it made me cry. I am probably much older than most here but I hope the younger generations can find the love for their fellow man that Yeomni found here.
I was disappointed to see Ms. Park was on Fox News with Tucker Carlson. Fox News Is just fascist right wing Republican propaganda. Same mindless crap as North Korea.
@@traceyreed9167 I love America too
This is the best interview I have seen with her. She is an incredible inspiration. I had no idea Yeonmi Park lived in Chicago and I've been an IL resident my whole life, super cool! I also find it super cool that you interviewed her with the Regis hotel behind her (the tallest building in the world designed by a female architect)
I love what she said about fighting to keep America free. Beautiful
“Freedom needs discipline, needs responsibility, needs virtue.” Perfectly said.
Very insightful and wise words
What an insane story!!
I know right n her speech is powerful . She could be good leader , she has strong personality and big dream and that’s why she survived
Shes a liar
@@yellow01umrella would you like one way ticket to North Korea ? Make sure don’t come back till you experience yourself . !!!
Because it’s not true.
@@kristiemansfield you speak like that n I’ll believe you if you are North Korean or ever lived in that country for many years . If not , don’t judge other if you don’t like people judge you . That’s simple , right ?
This is a person who has mastered NOT sweating the little things.
How can you obsessed on petty stuff around Yeonmi?
It doesn't mean stuff doesn't annoy you or hurt your feelings, it just means there are bigger things.
America IS a magical place for so many in the world, it is worth re-evaluating our self righteousness and intolerance of people with different views.
Great hearing her lay down truth like a hammer! :D
I read Yeonmi’s first book 📖, amazing to see her free and in America 🇺🇸. She deserves all the happiness in the world !
Holy Crap, The end of this interview was freaking nuts. Its so sad the division that is happening in our country, and when the NK Defector says the US is beginning to have similarities you know something is wrong. Everyone should hear this!
Agree. (In the US, it's all white people's fault. BLMs.So that's how Biden works, not about the truth )Bull crap always push out the good.
Who decide who is committing hate crime? In N korea they say every problem is because of US imperialism, and in the US they say everything is caused by the white men! America is doing a shit job in educating the young.
Europe is in the same shit. Greed driving
There are precisely zero similarities between North Korea and the US.
@@thesampsoninstitute really because someone who has lived in both, much unlike you, says differently, that there IS starting to be similarities, on the next episode on how to spot a commie liberal 😂
I've read her book "In Order to Live". Try to get a copy because it's a must read. The kind of atrocities done by the hermit kingdom, North Korea is unimaginable. We are extremely lucky to have not been born there.
Exactly... and China is not far behind
Thanx God Almighty Allmerciful
@@lc5929 agree 💯
Where can I get the book.
@@JavelinX8 It's available on Amazon
I watch Yeonmi's videos a lot. But in this video you've brought out her inner self without her carefully prepared format. This was breathtaking to listen to, so animated, so focused. Thank you. This lady is more of an American than so many who were born here, because she doesn't ignore, and SEES the damage that our petty divisions can, and do, bring. She has suffered things that most cannot imagine, let alone survive. I am grateful that she is here to speak boldly about problems that we are so willing to ignore while we head to get coffee.
Thank you so much for making this video Drew and so much respect to Yeonmi on her internal richness and positivity on the meaning of life! It is amazing to learnt that she came a truly long way from not getting educated from young to a university graduate and fluently spoken with love and passion. An ultimate example for quitters!!
It’s amazing that it takes someone who lived in utter oppression and terror to tell us how we are becoming more like those horrible nations.
Chills were running up and down my spine when she was comparing the current state of America to North Korea. The fact she is worried about it absolutely terrifies me. It is a kick in the shorts for sure.
i always wonder then, how come you dont see that yourself, and i see some same things develop in europe, the populists are
gaining power thought telling lies.
You're absolutely right, felt a punch to the gut when she said that, mostly because I think it's true. We as Americans are living in dangerous times, when all our rights and liberties are at stake and most of us don't even know it, do we need a repeat of history to realize this? Wake up America, get your head out of your apps.
It’s been happening around the world. Since the pandemic of covid 19, it has gotten worst and worst. I live in Australia, and I have seen this happening here. My parents live in Brazil, and it's happening there! So the government is the biggest censorship ever. Express yourself become hate speech as is somebody has to approve what can you think or feel. Then you got the agenda of gender / racial segregation.... It's a complicated life nowadays
I'm glad she said it in this and other videos but to me it's been pretty obvious for some time now. The current left, particularly the young left, clearly don't believe in free speech.
This was amazing and it made me cry a lot... I absolutely loved the things you said about freedom and how it doesn't mean that you can just do whatever you want. I see that everywhere and in so many people who abuse the idea of freedom.
Thanks for sharing this story with us
She is 80 pounds of fury and not a survivor, but a thriver. We need to keep her safe and support her humanitarian efforts. Be thankful you were not born in North Korea. I appreciate what we have much more right now. Thank you for the insight and keep telling your story. Excellent piece Drew, thanks for your sensitive coverage.
This interview was such a good one. What stuck with me is "freedom without virtue is anarchy"... Love and prayers to her and to us as humans. 💜

“I sacrifice myself for my family”
That hit hard, I can relate but not on that level. I had to do some bad shit when I was younger and almost got killed to spare my family/ex. But no where on this level man.
She is strong as fuck.
I hope your okay today
Thank you Drew. As the creator of this content you had the power and ability to edit as you pleased. You chose to allow her to share an incredibly powerful message to the American people and I for one am extremely grateful. Her closing words and statements are profound and I believe what she is saying needs to be heard by us all. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and a beautiful message to share.
Yeonmi is one of the strongest people I've ever heard of. Unbelievable strength. Humbled and heart broken by her story. Love her comments on American society. Love her honesty. #Truth #Honesty #Hero #KoreanStrength #HumanStrength #YeonmiPark
Such a brave person. The amount of craziness that her eyes have seen are enough to break any person in the world.
No. She’s lying. It’s a cash grab.
Not a word of what she says is true
@@TheBadbucky she's probably not lying, the past interviews she had were when she didn't speak the best English, she's said this before. How do you know she's lying?
Obviously not. If she can handle it imagine how many other people would be able to handle it. Maybe little bitches wont last
@@TheBadbucky why do you say she lies?
This woman is absolutely incredible. I can’t believe how well-spoken she is for someone who learned English in her adulthood (her grammar is basically perfect - how is that even possible?!), and how insightful her views of the Western world are for someone who only recently arrived here from what may as well be another planet.
It makes you wonder just how much more untapped human potential is languishing away in North Korea. She is totally inspiring. Bravo, Yeonmi Park, and thank you Drew for arranging this interview.
Why does it always make me so happy when TH-camrs meet other TH-camrs, I love Yeonmi she’s so inspiring 😊
That is one mentally strong woman 🔥What a great message and insight she's uncovered through her struggles and experiences
This woman is meant to make a difference to this world.
I am truly inspired by this young lady. The wisdom that comes from her short life is inspiring. Her statement "Freedom needs discipline and responsibility like a virture" should be at the entrance of every school in America, if "Freedom" is to endure.
This beautiful, young lady is a very brave person. I watch the videos on her TH-cam channel. She is very sweet and kind.
I watched several of her videos before watching this one, and from those, I figured out that she escaped North Korea. She has my respect. She has achieved more than most who live a comfortable life. Her command of English is very good, she studied in Columbia (as I understand it is one of the best universities). I feel so sorry she what she went through and it does not reflect in her personality, you can see her personality is strong. Although she came to the USA, she started to see the same problems (but different phases), what that means is that the issues are human issues and not related to a country or race. It is just pure human.
Columbia is trash
That was incredible. Her message on freedom and virtue rang deeply true, and loved listening to how beautifully she spoke on really complex topics.
Her book “In order to Live’ is the most gut wrenching example of human nature. Praise God for her survival and freedom.
Wow. I am so impressed with this bright intelligent lady. Her struggle to survive and her bravery to achieve freedom is just unbelievable. What a wonderful
Personality.
She LIED About Everything, do some research
Courage does not begin to describe this woman. I would have crumbled 1,000 times over, living the life that was forced upon her. Talk about a transformation!
One of the best 25 minutes i've spent in my life. Is always a pleasure to listen to Yeonmi Park, she knows what's shes talking about and more people should listen to her.
This was fascinating. Everyone needs to hear her story.
I feel sympathy for her story but I feel like her grasp on American politics is lacking. I feel like maybe she doesn’t quite get the open debate we have here or what cancel culture is. It really can go both ways. You could be fired for saying something homophobic and call it cancel culture, but people get fired and used to get fired for being gay up until recently (and still recently happens my mom works for a catholic school and they fired someone for being gay last year). But it’s not done by the government it’s done by private business so there is a big difference. But I agree that cancel culture is out of hand with some things.
Thank you for this video. She is incredible. She has such strength, compassion and intelligence. Remarkable woman. Every human needs to hear this. Praying for freedom and humanity for all! ❤️
. Thank you for posting her ordeal. Firstly, It was heart-wrenching to realize how innocent she was and could be put through that terror. But, it is so good that she is so clear minded and has found her purpose.
Thank you Drew. I did not know about her. She is inspiring.
Nice
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment
Excellent. I agree that we have to keep up the fight to have our freedom. Division, fear and distrust is a downhill slope in my opinion. Thanks to her speaking up.
Nice good 👍
amen, keep up the good fight 🤍
Thank you for your interview with Ms. Park. She is brilliant and an American treasure reminding us why this nation is so important to the rest of the world. We cannot let our light fade.
This lil lady has a face of an angel but a toughened, resilient concrete steel heart.
This testimony is really heartfelt. I'm really glad she made it, and she is right if you were born in the USA you should be very proud because after having lived here for over 25 years, there is not a place in the world I wish to be but here. Love the people, culture, and everything in it. I even tell people sometimes that I was born in the wrong place lol.
Kim can never kill you. Your journey, your words and your courage are immortal. He will be seen as coward if he tries attacking you.
He is a coward
Killing her will just make her a martyr. But her message and ideas are indeed immortal
Don’t make comments if you’re not ready for my feed back
He did kill members of his family soo
Don't say never, North Korea has spies just like every other country. He has killed family members for less and I don't think he cares about martyrdom, probably thinks it is a made-up word used by the evil west.
I saw this first now, but Yeonmi is to me very genuine person, a fantastic young woman who probably has the best view on what is going on. She was raised in North Korea, experienced the view of her nationality in China, South Korea and the US. She feel some disappointment that there are similarities in the US to North Korean/China. Well, what she says is very important to the whole Western world, that seems to be self-destructive. Yeonmi, you are the light in the darkness, you came to the Western world and you, rightfully so, give us a reason to rethink, take a step back and think about what we are prepared to defend. Because this is a fact, that our freedom is in danger! Yeonmi is truly a messenger to the west, that we should be on alert!
She’s so strong, and stunning with the way she presents herself and her stories and her burdens.
Im disgusted this can happen, I’m disgusted to say I’m part of a race that is capable of this. But HER, she makes me PROUD. She gives me hope. She makes me have faith that no matter the evil, there will always be those who can fight it and beat it.
And you, my dear, are one of them.
Much love❤️
She’s awesome
Thank god she has a book for this. Information like this can’t be let go too easily. It really shows how grateful we should be to live in a free nation.
dream on, you are not free, you are a slave of money,,thats what the capitalist world has become. yes circumstances are way better here than in a lot of other places, but free,,,forget it,,what about all those shootings etc etc
@@wout123100 you do realise I’m not the biggest fan of neoliberal capitalism, right? That system is built by scum to benefit scum. They shun out the Chamorro, Puerto Ricans, Samoans and leave them absolutely zero say in their affairs. But it sure as hell is better than North Korea.
She is so right and what she talks about. She is such a smart woman. I think she is a perfect example of what an American is somebody who comes to this land to try to be free and give freedom to all. She is a fantastic woman it's terrible what it happened to her and her past but now she's here and she has a very bright future ahead of her. She's also very beautiful as well LOL
She'd be better with her own lips.
She is so inspiring. It is amazing how she has such an accurate picture what is going on in America. I appreciate her courage to stand up for what she believes in to try to fight for freedom around the world. It was a privilege to listen to her experience, and what she has to say.
Lateeeee
Would love to hear the two of you talk about your trip to North Korea a few years ago. What a great interview. So glad yeonmi made it out of north korea and is doing so great now.
There is no room for hate speech but that's is very dangerous because who decides what is hate? It's a very true statement
No speech should be limited, even hate speech. That way, there’s no danger of a totalitarian government swooping in and using the law to restrict freedoms, AND we get to see who the hateful people are by their hateful speech.
@@zachrowell6795 perfect summary, thank you.
@@zachrowell6795 the very people advocating for hate speech are the ones seeking to take peoples rights and freedoms away. The same ones banning books and curriculums.
Sending love and support to Yeonmi! Please come to London and give the people here a speech on freedom!
What an incredible young lady. Respect to her. Thank you for bringing this vlog.
What an inspirational young woman. I applaud her courage and fortitude. We need more people like Yeonmi Park in this world.
I’m 3 generation Italian my family came here during world war 1 she is so right about freedom my family always told us you have to work at freedom because at any moment it can be taken away I’m very proud to be here in America I’m blessed so glad you made it here I wish more of your people could feel the blessing of freedom
My family as well brother.
I'm so proud of her. I don't even have the words to express. "Freedom needs disciple. Freedom needs responsibility. Freedom needs virtue."

Exactly! Otherwise freedom is just abuse of others
Very nicely done! Most relaxed interview yet! She’s the best! Love her♥️
I never tire of listening to Yeonmi. I travelled to North Korea on a Chinese based tour 3 years ago. I certainly have a different view of North Korea (our entire tour was pure propaganda) after listening to the truth from Yeonmi. What an incredibly brave person. Great interview Drew- you let her speak....
Fun fact: Yeomi Park has her own TH-cam channel now.
And Merry Christmas Drew. Can't wait for your trip to Saudi Arabia videos.
Yeah she has a YT channel where she spreads misinformation and lies.

The Strange Tale of Yeonmi Park
By The Diplomat
@@mrhad1452 ....
I am so amazed by her. She is so smart and her experience makes her so inspiring
What a beautifully well spoken, intelligent young woman. Her voice is the voice of reason and she sees things through new eyes. Bless you sweetheart
I have watched her channel and read her book nobody should have to go through this no matter were you live
Nice good
Agreeed.
@@drewbinsky absolutely love the videos and what your all about can't wait to see what the next year brings
I've often felt that the very best Americans today are the ones that CHOSE to be Americans. This young woman is proof of that! The story of her life in North Korea and how it's shaped her commitment to human rights and views of her adopted country offer a rather unique vision of the US as it moves forward to the future. My heartfelt congratulations to Yeonmi for becoming one of America's newest citizens! Welcome home!
What a story, she really knows the price of freedom. I hope many people get inspired by her story
Stories like these always remind me of how much most of us (myself included) take for granted.
That was an excellent interview. There was a lesson to be learned. Hope you had a happy holiday.😎
Nice good 👍
@@dististudioofficial5156 WTF does Nice Good Mean? You have replied to EVERY Comment with Nice good. Go read a book expand your vocabulary!!!!
I'm so grateful to have people like her in this country. We NEED her

I love this lady. Can't keep my eyes dry. "No freedom is worse than death". I totally agree with her.
“Find meaning in life. If you have a meaning- everything is bearable.“ beyond true and beautiful words. Thank you Yeonmi for all of your work for human and women’s rights. Please keep doing exactly what you’re doing- I think every word and one can make a difference… Especially in regards to sexual abuse and any matters that people try to censor or refuse to discuss- I think that’s the hardest but most important of it all. We need more of that. And thank you drew for all of your amazing videos and drive to share such important issues and perspectives… Before my epilepsy I always aspired to do what you do for a career, although even if I can’t it makes it not so bad knowing there’s someone out there doing such a great job of it! 🙌🏼💕👍
Yeonmi Park! You are so strong, and BRAVE! Grateful to you for sharing your story and enlightening the world to the way people, especially women, are forced to live in repressed countries. Freedom and human rights truly need to be defended, they are so precious. Best Wishes for you on your path!
She used to be strong and brave now she is escaping from from her own lies.
@@kamikaze.7607 wtf why you said that
@@tanisha9473 Its been long that Yeonmi has been exposed by her own stories , she is has been making 💰 from others defectors stories. You can read a article on her from The Diplomat (The Strange Tale of Yeonmi Park).
@@tanisha9473 There are trolls whose goal is to discredit her.
As an Mongolian im very proud of you and the soldiers who rescued you im glad you made it out there and hopefully you'll have ur best life possiblr
She has such a strong mental and goal in life. She's beautiful and I'm glad she made it to tell us all she said it in this video. I wish you a long life to do everything you couldn't do before! May God help you!
As someone who has followed her story and work I’m well aware of her struggles and story…the most enlightened and important part of this interview is her insight into current American politics, society and perceived freedom.
Great video Drew and what she said about the United States from 19:19 that is so true and saddening.
I love her story, her proudness of her she is and her opinions and thank you so much drew for sharing it
Her story just packed with lies and nothing else , she just making 💸 using her celebrity status while lying about about NK.
She has such a beautiful soul, incredibly inspirational! It's amazing to hear her share about her love for our country here in the USA. She's pushing for us, our rights, our freedom, the country that my dad fought for and all of our soldiers are fighting for. I haven''t met another American that care as much as she does (aside from other military brats and veterans). She cares about humanity and now knows how freedom looks and feels. She now fights for others to have the same and to maintain our freedom here. It's truly incredible, especially how she even cares about those who abuse it. It's just absolutely incredible!!
Great interview 👍
I love this Channel 💞
Yeonmi Park is a brave girl
I want to read her books 📚
Greetings from Ireland 🎉
