I love the beginning😂You are a strong and brave woman who is able to defend humanity, I am very impressed with you. I really hope that one day North Koreans will be able to live like everyone else. Keep fighting!😁
@@TheTranceCartel I said she was strong because she had been through difficult times in north korea. She was brave because she dared to release facts and tell about north korea.Whether the facts told are correct or not, I don’t care.I just take a lesson for my life. I did say this sincerely from my heart not acting to get likes. I also admire other figures but she's one of them.I hope you don't misunderstand.And you don't have to reply to my comments because I'll apologize in advance.I don't like arguing and wasting my time😁✌tq
What's the truth about Yeonmi Park? Is she a reliable source on N. Korea? - RedditDec 24, 2020 - She's been caught lying about so many things that everything she says is suspect.
Wow, this girl is really brave for speaking out, all it takes is to plant one seed, see where it goes from there. The world needs more brave ppl like her
Why won't she name her sources though? It seems like S. Korean tabloids seem to be where she gets 90% of these stories which she sells to gullible foreigners who view her as 'brave'
@@TheTranceCartel she mentions in previous videos that she must protect some of her sources. And she's not the only one reporting these stories. There's plenty of defectors speaking out
@@TheTranceCartel everyone is entitled to have their own opinion however mine would indeed be that she is brave. The NK regime is scary and even though she is in the USA that doesn't mean she's completely safe from them and making these videos could is still risky for her to do and as mentioned before me if she were to tell us her sources that would put a target on their back if they're in North Korea.
@@stevessann3516 This sounds like some absolute BS excuse that only the least intelligent would accept without introspection. I will continue to assume she is doing South Korean propaganda work until she names sources
America has its ups and downs just like everything does, I’m from Sunny California and I’m planted here Forever. I wish Everyone could experience FREEDOM.
I'm grateful to born in india as all are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice and propagate religion.we people glorify the freedom fighters as what they did for sake of the country. Vande matram jai hind jai bharat.🇮🇳
What about Islamophobia that has spiked just because you lost a freaking cricket match? What about all the muslim houses you vandalize, and the mosques you’ve burnt down and people you kill in the name of freedom. How are you any different from Israel?
@@mariyamsuha2255 What about this According to Wink, the mutilation and destruction of Hindu religious idols and temples were an attack attack on Hindu religious practice,] and the Muslim destruction of religious architecture was a means to eradicate the vestiges of Hindu religious symbols.Muslim texts of this period justify it based on their contempt and abhorence for idols and idolators in Islamic thought. Muslim historians of the medieval era viewed the creation and expansion of Islamic Sultanates in Hindustan as "holy war" and a religious conquest, characterizing Muslim forces as "the army of Islam" and the Hindus as infidels.
I'm not saying one country or religion is better than the other. I'm saying that they equally contributed to the massacre of the inida-pakistan war for kashmir.
Now after watching this video, I can easily understand the humbleness of my country "India". Everyone should be watched this video to make themselves aware of the freedom of their country that they get.
Now it's changing bro Go against Modi and you are anti national Even in Bihar its Jdu-Bjp party so right anything bad against cm you will be jailed You can't even protest for modi as there is one rule that you will be prisoned and no one can't give you bail (it was Britishers rule at the time when they ruled us) Now in india also media are purchased like China and North Korea Media never talk on topics don't ask questions to bjp people Even today if anything happens bjp member don't come to answer rather they call Inc and ask them and say them like they are rulling party 🤣.
@@Ashu_Kumar21 You are fortunate that You are able to say this type of things against ruling government only in India otherwise you would be imprisoned if you had done it in China and North Corea. See bro, Don't look a topic being biased. Also check other parts of that topic. Just go into Pakistan and China then you will find that their own citizens is how brutally treated.
They don't know that it is cruelty. They've never seen any other option of life. I guess they are just very unhappy without realising the true reason 🤷
I am from Germany and I am still listening to my grandparents talking about the time around WWII. Life was terrible under Hitler, all the brainwashing and propaganda, all the deaths and oppressing...and I can't imagine something similar is still happening today, screw dictatorships. I hope someday your country will live in freedom. All the best from a country with a very cruel history, never stop resisting!
@George Washington Because "not my president" ONLY applied to Trump or your gang has the memory of a Chipmunk? Keep pandering to morons, your constituency suits you.
I almost passed by this but I watched, this girl knows what she’s talking about. She’s smart articulate and it scares me to death that places like this still exits

@@dadaflicker5004 Money! South Korea pays for the stay and food for the defectors. And if she could be influential while badmouthing Korea, the US puppet South Slaveria would pay them well
Given that pretty much everything seems to be forbidden in North Korea, Yeonmi should make a video called: The Only Six Things You are Allowed to Do in North Korea.
LOL! This is a pretty legit point, though. I love her videos and am curious what on earth they can do besides worship the regime. It’s truly a country out of a science fiction novel. If you starve your population to the point of death or nonexistence, who will be left to control?
2:25 I work in press monitoring since 2008 and I can 100% confirm this story. A mother saved her two children from a fire and she got sent to a concentration camp because she didn't save the portraits, while her children were left without antibiotics and other things that they needed, because their mother was disrespectful. I still cannot believe to this day how the kim's can be so cruel
Hopefully this make people understand the realities of living in North Korea and appreciate what freedom is and what it had to offer. Great video Yeonmi!
It'd be easier to "understand these realities" if Yeonmi provided a source that didn't go back to South Korean military intelligence, who are notorious for bogus reports (Kim executing his rivals in a Roman colisseum with rabid dogs, etc.)
All she said was you can’t cut ur hair In a certain way and u can’t believe the calendar started when a Jew died. Tbh sounds like a different culture not like an oppressive terrible place. She said if you work hard you can own a house but that’s not true under capitalism because for you to own a house someone has to be worse off. She said you can disrespect your leadership well Edward Snowden would disagree and so would Martin Luther king Malcolm x, Larry Hoover etc
@@gragraboom6876 There is no evidence that Koreans aren't allowed to have different hairstyles; in fact, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary as a quick look at their television would show

You have a father in BC who is currently in jail because he questioned his son's gender identity. I would imagine that many North Koreans would see such state interference in parenting as a bigger afront than having to carry out the party's political will (a reality already coming to the West)

i was always aware of the terrible governmental practices and dictatorship of north korea..but this video just gave me a whole new perspective..this is incredibly disheartening..i am so sorry to all the innocent north koreans that have to endure such idiocy
I am so glad I hopped on TH-cam and found your channel. It made me realize that even though my life is pretty boring at least it’s better than what people have to endure in North Korea and it made me appreciate where I was born and how fortunate I was to be born in America. Even though it will take a while, I hope one day North Korea will be just like America and everyone will finally know what it’s like to be free. 🗽🔔🇺🇸
I am an American and there is no way in hell That I would EVEN THINK about visiting A country of my enemy.....but young lady I am so glad you are here in America and these stories that you have should be taught in every school in this country.
I love that you take suggestions from the comments too! Ur videos are more informative and interesting and not clickbait anymore. I still love your channel and hope we can one day see a free norh korea
I pray for the Christians being persecuted and every North Korean citizen who is under oppression 🙏❣️ we must never forget how truly blessed we are each and every day
I appreciate how hard you've worked to share your thoughts openly about being owned by a dictator/totalitarian state. I watched your interview with Jordan Peterson and I cried multiple times because of what you have endured. The world is lucky to have someone as strong as you who pushes for human rights.
@@shroomtastic4875 How so, he asked her proper questions and let her tell her story through his interview. He's had multiple people on his podcast, I enjoy choosing to absorb relevant information although not all of it is necessary.
My wife was in a private school here in Ireland which had boarding facilities and every year there were international students. One year there was 2 groups of Korean students. One group refused to go near the others or pretty much anyone. Someone in the other group told my wife that they were children of high ranking North Korean party officials and they were forbidden from talking to the South Koreans. So I guess not everyone is forbidden from leaving the country and I presume if any of those failed to return at the end of their term of study their families would pay the price.
Yes, people from high ranks at NK can travel aboard. Kim studied in Sweden, he eats the most plentiful foods everywhere, he's always traveling and enjoying life, but leads the people from living in NK a everyday hell. U can be rich in NK by doing prohibited works like selling cars n stuff, but it's all hidden by the government. Then these people who have kids and money they are allowed to travel and do everything they want.
And they're not allowed to talk to South Korean people because they can share some information about the country for them. And even then talk the same language they will not understand South Koreans because of the extension of the language. Capitalism brought so many words like make-up, shopping, North Koreans doesn't know that words so its hard for them to understand a full conversation with South Koreans.
Thanks for the insight as far as tourism is concerned in North Korea. I do enjoy visiting different countries and experiencing other cultures. Now I will never visit North Korea as a tourist out of respect for the people that live there until the people are free! Thanks Yeonmi for helping me understand 🙂

Love these videos, love them. So many Christians are persecuted in Korea, so many. People in America have no idea how dangerous Communism and Socialism is
The United States already institutes tons of socialist policy. It’s not some nightmare scenario as Trump and his minions would have you believe. Communism is the enemy. Sold Capitalism is NOT the answer. People have no idea how dangerous blind loyalty is.
Fear is what’s making that country the way it is. Those leaders are humans they aren’t invincible. If everybody including the soldiers came together and fought things would be differently for them
Yeh like slavery in amerika. It was fear that is groomed for bearth and through out their live. But it draged on for hundreds of years. So its not so easy to get free from it. Especially when the army have all the weapons and you dont have intetnet or anything like this.
@@rbhn5605 internet has nothing to do with it! Slaves didn’t have the internet when they started a rebellion. What they had was unity, strength and wanting better for themselves
Thanks for this video. I am a christian, I live in Argentina, and I feel in my soul everything that the Korean people suffer 💔. Pastor Kim's testimony in North Korea is very famous. God have mercy on the koreans 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Sad to think that we currently have those in government here who wish the same kind of treatment on us, and we have the sheep who follow them blindly. Yeonmi, you are shocked when Americans called themselves "oppressed", and rightly so. Many Americans have never known suffering or true oppression before, and they take their freedoms for granted, which is terrible.
@@magdalene74 that’s like saying ‘someone with a broken nose should not be treated in the hospital because there are people who are much more badly hurt’. One person suffering more does not mean no one else can suffer.
She is many things, but I wouldn't include "young" among them (probably why she specifically liked your comment out of the thousands of replies here, she loves the validation)
She lies almost about everything. An example: She claims that "I didn't even know like never seen the map of the world, i didn't know *what Africa was* ....just America, Japan, South Korea China, maybe Russia that's all about the world" (Mikhaila Peterson : Escaping North Korea | Yeonmi Park on The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast #41, 23. dec. 2020) 13:30 th-cam.com/video/25NnmCyjpm4/w-d-xo.html But according to her own book :" We knew a man who had gone to work in Russia. My father knew another man who *was sent to Libya as part of a labor force* that earned foreign currency for the regime. When he returned, *he told us that his life in Libya* was very lonely-for three years he didn’t see his family. ..... *Libya* sounded like paradise to us. My father had wanted to go abroad, and hoped he would find a way to make some money to send back to us. But he never took the opportunity, and now it was out of the question. P.85 So , if they have heard about Libya, they should also know that Libya situated in North Africa!!!!!

I think it’s great that you said westerners shouldn’t visit North Korea, I’ve seen afew videos and it’s almost like they’re showing off they’ve visited NK
I am praying God almighty to save North Korea and their people from the cruelty of Kim. Leader is to protect his nation not to kill his fellow citizens. Many such cruel leaders came and were buried in the history. May God release you all soon from Kim- the murderer.

*SHE IS ON TRICK PONY* She is an actress, artist. and now she's playing the role of her life on TH-cam. Such an incredible piece of stories that the inconsistencies shine throughout her many interviews. Her stories, including the one of her own fleeing from her country have changed a lot throughout the years. No one should trust any narrative without substantial proof that can be analyzed and studied, that’s what journalism is for, and she is not a journalist. This little miss CIA Park literally makes up a story about someone getting executed so SHE can continue to produce content. Shes a one trick pony. Soon she will be blaming North Korea for hangnails and sunburns. How does someone make not liking a Country a paying job? Her lies are getting much much prominent. If this woman has run out of factual things to complain about on her channel like she did from pretty much day one, then maybe she should learn to say "Would you like fries with that?" and stop lying. Its pathetic, just because she doesn't like North Korea doesn't mean that any moronic story that she dreams up in her pea brain is the truth. This individual IS A JOKE and does not have one original thought or constructive insight !! Eventually this person will run out of things to repeat and she will just fade away because some poor sucker will be taken in by her BS and will be able to take care of all her capitalist's fantasies so we don't have to hear her any more. LOL !!!!! It is simply amazing how gullible people are. Her many stories are very inconsistent and over exaggerated. It's ALL about the money. Why do westerners always so easily believe bs and fall into some sob story...wake the fuck up please. She's playing all you like a fiddle...her narcissism and delusion is so obvious...sociopath. Listen to all her inconsistencies in her stories, how her English is pretty good, her crocodile tears, how she looks decent considering her so called hard life, listen to her other family talk about her how she was higher class in NK ......Stop believing the media and bsers like her. She has more money that most of you because you guys buy her crap. I could make up any sob BS story and you'll buy it....:(
I am So proud of you. Everything you went through and you still have your head up high and fighting for whats right. I love your story and please continue!

Hello, Can you please put in English Captions. I am a deaf person with hearing aids and can’t hear very well and always need to rely on English Captions and Mouth to understand.
Hello Miss Yeonmi Park im just an ordinary person from Philippines im so proud of how brave you are. Ive always watch ur videos even if i don't experience that kind of life since im from Philippines but i feel so guilty for myself to the point that i always complain anything knowing that north korean people don't have anything even personal freedom. Continue to spread ur words with love. God bless to you ❤️
This video summarizes how all the North Koreans are living in a modern Hitler style dictatorship, as Juche actually way more horrible than other ideology by combining Marxist and Fascist. Anyway the ripping of Kim's portrait made me snigger.
Whenever i feel that my life is getting harder to live...there is no peace... suddenly your videos pop up and i see the video...i feel really sad for the people of north korea and i thank god for giving me everything i have🙌🙌....love from india...may north korea get freedom from such dementors

*Serving "human rights" or IMPERIALIST MASTERS?* She is just spreading lies to appease west and few capitalist counties. There is an entire industry dedicated to portraying North Korea as boogeyman, and many defectors themselves say that a lot of these stories are pure BS. The whole 'there are WMDs in Iraq' thing swore me off taking the establishment and media at their word. We want people to demonize those countries which don't want to bow down to the capitalist West. Well, she seems to at least for now got an angle on that now, doesn’t she?. Many escapees do not do well in South Korea, she seems to got that covered for now….. She is living on stories to please others. The media is living on the story of the fictional Xinjiang genocide to please western capitalist countries. I think lies are sweeter than the truth and it is good she learnt that while very young and on how to use that to survive. This happens to a lot of defectors from those countries. They fall into the trap of “enemy of my enemy is my friend” and it unfortunately appears to seriously bias their judgment. Yeonmi Park is no different. Her stories are biased, and this is further evident by the fact that she uses these stories to appease certain political groups. And here it is, the propaganda's effect in full force. Got to convince the populous the enemy exists and is monstrous before war can be sanctioned. This entire story she spouts is bullshit and is providing the precedent for invasion. Do we not learn from Afghanistan, Iraq and Co? If she continuously do not talk like that ,her followers will loose interest in her stories and she will be TH-cam income will also decrease.Besides that she enjoyes fund from Western countries and South Korea regularly for her work. The fact that she’s living off of these stories just makes her testimonies hardly believable. You know something is wrong when someone is telling you a story only to please you. *Imperialist/Capitalist Right Wing think tank NGO/GROUPS such as Atlas Network, Oslo Freedom Forum, Human Rights Foundation, Freedom Factory and the media took full advantage of the opportunity to ‘pimp-out’ a willful participant in the counter-productive money-generating, nation-branding circus deployed to demonize and isolate North Korea.”*
We always hear what N-Koreans can't do, I would be very interested in what they can and do, do. Is there secret drinking, gatherings, drugs? If young people know about S-Korean styles and music, how and when do they hear about it, what other things do teens [most rebellious people in existence :)] do that is not allowed but is done by most? What is allowed to do for pleasure? [I know there are fun parks and holidays] What constitutes as fun if you obey everything? What is done by a lot of people that is actually forbidden but people do it anyway? Is there even anything like that? I would really love to watch a cover of these things. ❤
You don't get it. She's saying they have no CONCEPT of drugs. They have alcohol, but most of that is bootlegged. They have no concept of "vices" because they live in a utopia; why would they need drugs when The Dear Leader provides then ultimate happiness?
If you rebel you and your family get shot or sent to a prison camp. The people there are starving to death so I don’t think parties and drugs are on anyone’s agenda. The leaders there are mad, the people are ruled by fear.

According to Wink, the mutilation and destruction of Hindu religious idols and temples were an attack attack on Hindu religious practice,] and the Muslim destruction of religious architecture was a means to eradicate the vestiges of Hindu religious symbols.Muslim texts of this period justify it based on their contempt and abhorence for idols and idolators in Islamic thought. Muslim historians of the medieval era viewed the creation and expansion of Islamic Sultanates in Hindustan as "holy war" and a religious conquest, characterizing Muslim forces as "the army of Islam" and the Hindus as infidels.

It'd be easier to "understand these realities" if Yeonmi provided a source that didn't go back to South Korean military intelligence, who are notorious for bogus reports (Kim executing his rivals in a Roman colisseum with rabid dogs, etc.)

*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."*
Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story.
Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression.
Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴.....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media.
The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent.
She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood.
She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries.
They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go :

My wife was in a private school here in Ireland which had boarding facilities and every year there were international students. One year there was 2 groups of Korean students. One group refused to go near the others or pretty much anyone. Someone in the other group told my wife that they were children of high ranking North Korean party officials and they were forbidden from talking to the South Koreans. So I guess not everyone is forbidden from leaving the country and I presume if any of those failed to return at the end of their term of study their families would pay the price.
Yeah she is talking about the commoners of north korea . The higher officials can have few advantages i guess
Yes, people from high ranks at NK can travel aboard. Kim studied in Sweden, he eats the most plentiful foods everywhere, he's always traveling and enjoying life, but leads the people from living in NK a everyday hell. U can be rich in NK by doing prohibited works like selling cars n stuff, but it's all hidden by the government. Then these people who have kids and money they are allowed to travel and do everything they want.
And they're not allowed to talk to South Korean people because they can share some information about the country for them. And even then talk the same language they will not understand South Koreans because of the extension of the language. Capitalism brought so many words like make-up, shopping, North Koreans doesn't know that words so its hard for them to understand a full conversation with South Koreans.

Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story.
Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression.
Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴.......how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media.
The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent.
She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood.
She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries.
They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. I can document it! But I am not aware of their real life/ story! I just know that they are lying! She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go :
"But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person...........But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

@@surenaanerus7387 nobody believes you silly North Korean agent 😂😂 keep worshipping your tubby tyrannical manchild of a leader
*SHE IS ON TRICK PONY*
She is an actress, artist. and now she's playing the role of her life on TH-cam. Such an incredible piece of stories that the inconsistencies shine throughout her many interviews. Her stories, including the one of her own fleeing from her country have changed a lot throughout the years. No one should trust any narrative without substantial proof that can be analyzed and studied, that’s what journalism is for, and she is not a journalist.
This little miss CIA Park literally makes up a story about someone getting executed so SHE can continue to produce content. Shes a one trick pony. Soon she will be blaming North Korea for hangnails and sunburns. How does someone make not liking a Country a paying job? Her lies are getting much much prominent.
If this woman has run out of factual things to complain about on her channel like she did from pretty much day one, then maybe she should learn to say "Would you like fries with that?" and stop lying. Its pathetic, just because she doesn't like North Korea doesn't mean that any moronic story that she dreams up in her pea brain is the truth.
This individual IS A JOKE and does not have one original thought or constructive insight !! Eventually this person will run out of things to repeat and she will just fade away because some poor sucker will be taken in by her BS and will be able to take care of all her capitalist's fantasies so we don't have to hear her any more. LOL !!!!!
It is simply amazing how gullible people are. Her many stories are very inconsistent and over exaggerated. It's ALL about the money. Why do westerners always so easily believe bs and fall into some sob story...wake the fuck up please. She's playing all you like a fiddle...her narcissism and delusion is so obvious...sociopath. Listen to all her inconsistencies in her stories, how her English is pretty good, her crocodile tears, how she looks decent considering her so called hard life, listen to her other family talk about her how she was higher class in NK ......Stop believing the media and bsers like her. She has more money that most of you because you guys buy her crap. I could make up any sob BS story and you'll buy it....:(
I am So proud of you. Everything you went through and you still have your head up high and fighting for whats right. I love your story and please continue!
May the Lord save those people, for sure I can't imagine living such a life
ASMR in the beginning is so satisfying. Stay safe brave girl
Thank YOU for spreading the word! My eyes have been opened to the oppression. I really hope that our leaders will help achieve peace in North Korea in my lifetime. Thank you for being brave and taking the first step.
Lots and lots of Love and support to you Brave woman, from India 🇮🇳❤️👍
I just want to say I think you are a real nice person and I am glad you got out of there! Makes me sad to know so many people are in bondage.
Hi pretty lady. How are you and your family are doing over there???
Hello, Can you please put in English Captions. I am a deaf person with hearing aids and can’t hear very well and always need to rely on English Captions and Mouth to understand.
You can use TH-cam automatic captions.
@@vexator19 That is true but It doesn’t translate right. Which is confusing me.
@@vexator19 It somehow gives me Japanese subs:(
@Wooters Unfortunately, TH-cam made the stupid decision of removing the feature.
Because like just learn the language / un-deaf yourself, apparently.
Beautiful speech, Yeomni Park. I'm from the USA 🇺🇸 and i respect my country and give love and freedom.
This breaks my heart for all of them!!!! Praying for all and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏼💕
Amen
Don't believe in multi media at all, she was expelled by NK goverment, no escape in here
@@nataliefeniken5922 is she dead!!!?
@@novaslayys4846 no, she's still alive. But she was arrested by NK officers and stay in prison for a time before was expelled.
Amen.
Hello Miss Yeonmi Park im just an ordinary person from Philippines im so proud of how brave you are. Ive always watch ur videos even if i don't experience that kind of life since im from Philippines but i feel so guilty for myself to the point that i always complain anything knowing that north korean people don't have anything even personal freedom. Continue to spread ur words with love. God bless to you ❤️
You are such an inspiration. So many people think they have a tough life but they have no clue. You are a true heroine!
Seeing you rip that picture is OOMPF satisfying ❤
This video summarizes how all the North Koreans are living in a modern Hitler style dictatorship, as Juche actually way more horrible than other ideology by combining Marxist and Fascist. Anyway the ripping of Kim's portrait made me snigger.
the way your tore up kim's portrait in the beginning like you go girl!
Whenever i feel that my life is getting harder to live...there is no peace... suddenly your videos pop up and i see the video...i feel really sad for the people of north korea and i thank god for giving me everything i have🙌🙌....love from india...may north korea get freedom from such dementors
Kim il-sung was also born the exact year, the exact month and the exact day the Titanic sunk. Just like how the Titanic was a massive tragedy, so was the birth of Kim il-sung.
Hi Yeonmi! I found your channel a few weeks ago! I love it! Also I really love that intro, keep on doing that every time! ♥️♥️♥️
Big support sis.u are the voice of the Korea
U are the voice of people'who need ur help
U r the voice for their rights
U are the one who can save them from this hekkin dictatorship 😭
You tearing up that picture was so powerful💖💖💖
not really
You are great !
He deserves more than this
So shocking! Keep educating us! I always look forward to your videos. Thank you Yeonmi
So fake
The true evil is the Western imperialist lies and complaining about the Splinter in another's eye when you will not remove the plank from your own

What's the truth about Yeonmi Park? Is she a reliable source on N. Korea? - RedditDec 24, 2020 - She's been caught lying about so many things that everything she says is suspect.
@@kevintewey1157 *yawn* nobody cares what you paid off tools of the North Korean government have to say
@@kevintewey1157 Does Kim Jong Un know that you quoted a verse from the bible? Hypocrite.
*Serving "human rights" or IMPERIALIST MASTERS?*
She is just spreading lies to appease west and few capitalist counties. There is an entire industry dedicated to portraying North Korea as boogeyman, and many defectors themselves say that a lot of these stories are pure BS. The whole 'there are WMDs in Iraq' thing swore me off taking the establishment and media at their word.
We want people to demonize those countries which don't want to bow down to the capitalist West. Well, she seems to at least for now got an angle on that now, doesn’t she?. Many escapees do not do well in South Korea, she seems to got that covered for now…..
She is living on stories to please others. The media is living on the story of the fictional Xinjiang genocide to please western capitalist countries. I think lies are sweeter than the truth and it is good she learnt that while very young and on how to use that to survive.
This happens to a lot of defectors from those countries. They fall into the trap of “enemy of my enemy is my friend” and it unfortunately appears to seriously bias their judgment. Yeonmi Park is no different. Her stories are biased, and this is further evident by the fact that she uses these stories to appease certain political groups.
And here it is, the propaganda's effect in full force. Got to convince the populous the enemy exists and is monstrous before war can be sanctioned. This entire story she spouts is bullshit and is providing the precedent for invasion. Do we not learn from Afghanistan, Iraq and Co?
If she continuously do not talk like that ,her followers will loose interest in her stories and she will be TH-cam income will also decrease.Besides that she enjoyes fund from Western countries and South Korea regularly for her work.
The fact that she’s living off of these stories just makes her testimonies hardly believable. You know something is wrong when someone is telling you a story only to please you.
*Imperialist/Capitalist Right Wing think tank NGO/GROUPS such as Atlas Network, Oslo Freedom Forum, Human Rights Foundation, Freedom Factory and the media took full advantage of the opportunity to ‘pimp-out’ a willful participant in the counter-productive money-generating, nation-branding circus deployed to demonize and isolate North Korea.”*

We always hear what N-Koreans can't do, I would be very interested in what they can and do, do. Is there secret drinking, gatherings, drugs? If young people know about S-Korean styles and music, how and when do they hear about it, what other things do teens [most rebellious people in existence :)] do that is not allowed but is done by most? What is allowed to do for pleasure? [I know there are fun parks and holidays] What constitutes as fun if you obey everything? What is done by a lot of people that is actually forbidden but people do it anyway? Is there even anything like that? I would really love to watch a cover of these things. ❤
You don't get it. She's saying they have no CONCEPT of drugs. They have alcohol, but most of that is bootlegged. They have no concept of "vices" because they live in a utopia; why would they need drugs when The Dear Leader provides then ultimate happiness?
I think they're more concerned with having enough food or water to survive.
If you rebel you and your family get shot or sent to a prison camp. The people there are starving to death so I don’t think parties and drugs are on anyone’s agenda.
The leaders there are mad, the people are ruled by fear.
*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."*
Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show.

Are you asking what North Koreans do for fun? I’m confused what makes you think that they get to have fun? It’s as close to Hell as you can get.
I love your channel Yeonmi 🤍 such an inspirational woman!!! ❤️
