In my opinion, Hyeonseo Lee is the most interesting defector. She left NK alone and purely for curiosity about the outside world. She lived and worked in China for an entire decade, quickly learning to speak flawless Mandarin. She flew under the radar all this time and only decided to go to South Korea because she was in love with a guy from there.
@@raychangalarza179 She didn't get lucky, she was incredibly cunning and managed to survive just on her own wits. She may not have left for necessity, but she couldn't return without harming her family so she had to work hard to survive.
well actually, in south korea there is a lot of stigma, prejudice and hate towards north koreans till this day, since they're seen as spies and simply bc they know nothing about them. obviously that's starting to change w the new generations, but it's a really conservative country and most of s/koreans don't like the idea of being close to a n/korean
A lot of South Koreans don’t like North Koreans. They don’t want to deal with the economical impact of bringing in North Koreans. That alongside them seeing them as spies makes it hard for North Koreans to be accepted.
My friends mom escaped from North Korea, she went threw China and into Vietnam. She flew to Seoul, then a few years later, she flew to United States where I live. She was so lucky, they almost got caught when in Laos. But they made it and survived!!!
One of my dad’s coworkers escaped with his sister as a child. Their parents basically just told him to take his sister and go. They never heard from their family again
I met a survivor from NK on an online chat once through a penpal program. The guy had his body completely scarred and burned from all they did to him. We still talk at times. I've gone through poverty being born in Brazil but nothing remotely near what this man went through. He's got my respect In spades. He escaped through Mongolia. NK is hell on earth

My AP teacher, who worked in the military, stated that he was stationed in South Korea. He was right at the boarder to North Korea. He and a few others were able to tour around the South Korean side of the boarder, but were told they should never look through to windows, which led to North Korea. There were guards on the other side of the boarder, and he could feel one of them staring at him. He stayed like that for 3-4 minutes, avoiding eye contact with the man staring at him.
@@Isx_x33 I guess because the soldier on the other side were given permission to shoot if they made eye contact with you? He never really went into full detail.
Unfortunately some of the more famous NK escapees are complete grifters that are fabricating a lot of stuff and feeding certain political angles for profit. Most especially Yeonmi Park. Her vast inconsistencies defy basic scrutiny.

@@cappyjones They didnt come close at all... Sure i agree that Trump wasnt fit as president, but he isnt close to being Kim. The meeting between Trump and Kim only happened because he wanted to show the USA (and well, pretty much the entire NATO) how powerful, dangerous and delusional he is. Trump said that during dinner Kim told him about how he beheaded his own uncle, it was purely to "warn" USA/NATO about messing with them. Realistically NATO could blow North Korea to shit within a week, but the civilian casualties wouldve been absurdly high. God knows what kinda chain explosion could happen when the missiles strike. China, Russia ETC mightve sided with North Korea. And even if North Korea was alone in the war against the rest of the world, It wouldve also guaranteed terrorism for decades in every country from people who were brainwashed enough to seriously think Kim was their "god".
This guide is like: okay you CAN make it but… you’ll have to grow wings, be an olympic gold medal winner, be superman, have 3 hands and have a cow tied to your back. SOME DID IT THO!
I wonder how they get this information tho- north korea doesn't let their citizens know about shit going on in the outside world. I wonder how these people found out the different methods to escape
@@canyounotlookhere They did say there are brokers who likely give NKs info about how to escape. It’s possible someone paid a broker to tell them that info and they spread it around to everyone they know
It makes me so grateful to be born in the UK. Every country has their own problems, but this is on a whole different scale. These kinds of atrocities should not be allowed in the modern world.
To anyone who managed to escape from North Korea, you are all very brave. It would be hard to go against a regime that has been drilled into your head from a young age.
That is not a country, that is a prison. Even the military is treated like trustees. He isnt a dictator, he is a warden. Defectors are not traitors, they are escapees.
Here’s a quick fact. Most people who “escape” are actually found to be liars. Many peoples stories after the years go by, seem to have suspiciously conflicting accounts, and numerous accounts have even been completely disproven.
Imagine escaping North Korea, never seeing anything but poor rural towns with dirt roads and then flying to the most technologically advanced city in the world Seoul, South Korea while your entire life you’ve been taught to believe that North Korea was the finest place to live on Earth.
There are quite a few NK defectors who runs a TH-cam channel sharing their experiences and they all share a fascinating insight, experience and ordeals. One explained, despite the general poverty and starvation across the nation, they were practically brainwashed to think their leader is doing everything he can to feed rice to his citizens and only came to their senses when they escaped to China; a countryside town street dogs were given rice for breakfast.
Idk if it’s just me, but in between the border of North and South Korea in Google maps, I saw a hardcore concentration camp, and that gave me chills. I have no clue if it’s still in operation, but I saw it. This shows how strict North Korea is, and even the slightest disloyalty will get you to possibly one of these camps. This also shows that they aren’t messing around when they say there are many concentration camps. 😔
They do in fact have "concentration" camps but theyre commonly referred to as labor camps. Theyre actually very similar to Soviet gulags as the country is communist.
They are one of their own tho? Like, biologically and ethically speaking. Like they literally both speak Korean, different dialects maybe, but at the end of the day, it is still Korean. Yeah, maybe the culture for both side is vastly different, but that’s isn’t that big of a deal consider how fast a culture can be learn and assimilate into, especially with the aforementioned similarities between both North and South Korea. Also, believe it or not, North Korea would also welcome any South Korean or American defectors as one of their own too, so it’s not that special. P/s: I realize what I said sounded like I was in support of the NK government. To clarify, I think they are disgusting and there need to be a major reform/revolution happen soon in order to stop the suffer of the people of NK.
@@260Torrent true! North Korean defectors are always treated like s*it in every countries. Most of them live in poverty and slums. At least, they enjoy economic stability and social safety net in North Korea.
I honestly believe that people who escape North Korea should never tell how. Once you do, the authorities know. Tell those you’re leaving behind so they know how bit don’t tell those that you arrived to because they will celebrate and brag on how you outsmarted the North. They’ll just increase security.
@@dkdkmdkememd2131 I was thinking stealthily and as swiftly as possible. So as to not even let them a chance to retaliate or even know what hit em. Idk how it would be done but the fact that we aren’t even brainstorming a plan pisses me off. Inaction is just the twin brother of evil.
@@briancooley8777 It's literally impossible , China and Russia will be against that invasion , and NK soldiers will just know there is a attack coming , NK has a lot of debunks and bombs are always targeted towards USA , sk and Japan , even if they felt an invasion is coming boom , It's literally a sucidal mission
yeah, if you try to get in and you are not a citizen, they will kill you. LITERALLY! They would torture you to talk and then, execute you without any anesthesia possible.
@@majaquinn that’s the crazy part. When I was younger my grandfather told me stories of the days when the troops from North Korea hijacked the cities, abducted innocence.

@@marthapapadopoulou3559 Norway has won the nicest country to live in out of 188 ranked countries… for the twelfth year in a row.

From what I’ve researched, many Norwegians began or are beginning to use injections for cheaper and stronger highs rather than smoking. I used US as the comparator because that’s where I am from, and we are currently ranked 8th best place to live. So here, you can see even #1 and #8 both have many economic and political issues, but can still be the best places to live in the world.

Then paddling with your BARE HANDS just to get to another country.

@Лола Лазло many do, sadly. But to ignore human rights abuses all The way around the world, is it as bad as ignoring those you have the power to actually change? Like China and Russia? They could stop it; instantly, if they cared to.
The absolute desperation of the people who escape is mindblowing. The soldier who sprinted over the border, the two women who threatened to kill themselves, etc. Wild.
Quite understandable really. When faced against such despairing odds, sometimes the only way left is to go. And by go, i mean kick the bucket. Taking one's own life is never a good thing but faced with situations like this, sometimes it's hard to tell. Feels very morally grey
Many defectors have stories to tell. Even the ones escaping the great Satan USA. With all this illegal immigration coming in you'd be smart to wonder whether the wall built was meant to rather keep the locals in? They're making it harder to leave day by day, like for having unpaid taxes (WTF!?), or now not having had the potential poison needle (with numerous chemicals with the status of "toxicological properties remain untested" and/or several known negative health effects, or alternatively you need the PCR poison test (traces of the highly carcinogenic ethylene oxide) 48h prior. Good luck living a long life if you manage to leave with those inserted into you first. The ingredients list in Pfizer's Comirnaty not a vaccine is long and most of the ingredients have issues regarding health. Here's just one, not even the worse offender: Polyethylene Glycol: "It has been found that PEGs contain impurities, which include ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. These two are known carcinogens and respiratory irritants."
The most outrageous thing is that Kim Ilseung himself was a independence activist during the colonization of Korea, so he should know what if feels like to live without freedom. I guess that's what authority might do to you, given the fact that Seungman wasn't exactly the best president to start a country with.
@@vanyamahdavi Well as you might know, Korea was a colony of Japan for about 40 years, and naturally there were independence activists. During that period, there was the communism blooming from USSR, which means that the independence activists were seperated into communists and nationalists. Independence activists made lots and lots of parties, in which they fought for independence. Kim himself was in a party named 동북항일연군, a communist party that was active in the lands of 만주(it's part of China right now) and even led a battle against the Japanese soldiers. It's called 보천보 전투 in Korean. In fact, Seungman Lee was in 대한민국 임시정부, the Provisional Government of Korea as the first Provisional president. He was kicked out for attempting to ask the League of Nations to mandate Korea for him. I honestly don't understand why he was elected AGAIN as the first president of South Korea.
The government might treat them as citizens, but the South Korean populace doesn’t. Yeonmi Park says she was treated horribly in South Korea, like less than human almost, which is part of the reason she ended up moving to America.
@@psychlops924 people always want to find somebody who is "worse" than themselves. And i think its still better than being north korean and much better than being immediately deported back like in China or Russia
Chul-eun Lee, the guy who swam to South Korea, has a really interesting interview about his escape on Asian Boss. The South Koreans were tracking him almost the whole time, including on the island, except for a portion where they disappeared from infrared cameras because their body temperature had dropped so much.
Also they probably can't just find useful maps on the internet. They might be able to know where countries are and maybe get a general idea of the geography they might encounter, but I highly doubt their internet allows the locations of western embassies to be spread.
Well Russia and china are just worried about daddy kim jong un who loves playing with his projectile and fear north korea might fire it against them if they don't cooperate
This is honestly so heartbreaking. Makes you truly appreciate now blessed you are to live in a free country. I can’t believe we just let them get away with this
@@gia-abcd I got that wrong, I’ll admit. However this still applies to the United Nations. Kim knows he’s lose the war if it ever started, but he also knows that other countries are aware of his weaponry and arsenal. He knows that these countries should expect heavy damage if they ever decided to interfere with what he’s doing, and the death count would be too high to even think about trying something like that.
There are a couple issues stoping the world from interfering. Outside interference could trigger a response from China or Russia which, unfortunately, are the only 2 nations who could put up a fight against the USA. The USA is relevant because even though you aren't an American the UN is so dependent on US forces that there's no reality where US military isn't involved. The US also has forces and bases in SK and Japan which would force us to be involved regardless. The other major problem is NK has nukes. So let's say that somehow both China and Russia get onboard with UN forces, completely removing any reality where NK could win. In their death throws they'd launch every nuke they have to take as many people with them as possible. SK and Japan would be in imminent danger as there might not be enough time to intercept the warheads. Other, farther places would also be in danger since it's likely that many of the nukes would be given random coordinates because Kim is actually that petty. It's not that the rest of the world doesn't want to help. It's that helping would very likely harm and kill more people than doing nothing will.
Horrible for what? Your US daddy Just abandoned Tens of thousands of Afghanistan citizens US promised to bring to the states. Not mentioning how many South America refugees or Mexico citizens kicked back by US. Every independent country has the very right to secure the border so don’t play double standard. And by the way people like you are so hypocritical And if you are so compassionate, you can always bring anyone from North Korea to your home, feeding them accommodating them and providing them work. People like you will never ever do that, just talking like a God🙄👎.
@@dennisking4233 where you from? You must be somewhere out of state cause your talking like a mad man.

She was playing with fire (or I guess in this case death). She Escaped, got married and was a citizen, and chose to go back to the boarder. I’m not saying this is deserved, but it could definitely be foreseen to an extent
@@HEROFOREVER yeah this couldve been avoided very easily but the chance of going to near the border and getting kidnapped was highly unlikely but they prolly didn't think much of it and went anyway
That woman who escaped and was stolen back... I don't know what's more scary, thinking that NK could very well be keeping an archive to hunt down _everyone_ who's ever escaped from their hands or even trying to imagine how that woman felt; you fled from a nightmare against all odds and selflessly tried to document something so traumatic for awareness, the disbelief of being seized away from your loved one and sent for the government to enslave and murder. Horrifying.
I think it's way worse the fact that there are some mfs that glorify communism and countries like this, all meanwhile they are on a 1 world country with good economy, comfortably sitting on their bedroom being maintained by their parents while commenting on Twitter through an iPhone
Way to get the wrong end of the stick. As if states with the best standard of living in the world haven't set up social welfare and leftist ideals. The worst off countries that still name themselves "first world" generally shun systems they see as communist, while suffering from low education, poverty and inequality. North Korea is not a question of values, it's tyranny...
@@harmzxox492 well youtube deleted my reply but there is literally nothing wrong with what i said. With the stuff that’s on your channel i should be the one asking wth is wrong with you?
The people who dressed as construction workers are pretty damn clever. It reminds me of how you can get away with almost anything in the US if you just put a construction vest and a hardhat on.
The hardhat has to look used though and not shiny new. That is why some companies try to do everything to prevent hard hats with their company logo on it to be sold via other channels. They fear they could be used to gain access to construction or production or maintenance sites of that company.

Simplfied: Why are there so few North Koreans fleeing every year compared to the (? 1.8 million) Iraqi refuges who fled Iraq during the 1991 Iraqi Uprisings? Are the reasons for why so few people escape North Korea at least vaguely similar to why there are so few Uyghurs escaping China today as refugees?
Expanded: Why are there so few North Koreans fleeing every year compared to the (? 1.8 million) Iraqi refuges who fled Iraq during the 1991 Iraqi Uprisings (the upringsings by the Kurds and Shiites in Iraqi following the 1991 Gulf War that tried to overthrow Saddam)?
The number of North Koreans fleeing each year is usually less than 2,000
Is it because Iraq in 1991 was in a state of chaos and disorder which made it easier for Iraqis to escape Saddam Hussein’s brutal surveillance whereas North Korea is not in a state of chaos which makes it extremely difficult to get through North Korea’s _______________? I heard that a reason why the Uyghurs don’t flee en masse from China despite them being imprisoned is largely because of them being under heavy surveillance. Having said this, is it (high level of surveillance) also a similar reason why the number of people fleeing North Korea is so small. A related question: Saddam Hussein was also an extremely oppressive dictator. Were most Iraqis, particularly the Kurds (an ethnic group persecuted under Saddam) under heavy surveillance like the Uyghurs in China?

Thanks for the vided.
When did the South Korean government and people change their stances on this? From what I’ve heard, they’re worried about what will happen to the economy if North Korea was liberated.
Yeah I was thinking about that. That really was not a smart move. Like if you made it out please just stay away from the north and anyone who supports the north. Both of those rules were broken in this situation.
It's your whole life though. And knowing nobody really knows seems frustrating. I would spend my time trying to get everyone out. Or let everyone know how bad

China supports North Korea because it's a buffer zone for them.

They need North Korea as a shield against freedom so they can continue to oppress the Chinese people.
I’m a Korean person living in SK but I can’t imagine how hard it is to live there. just a reminder that the people in North Korea aren’t at all bad, it’s the president.
I'm afraid people are forgetting that dictatorships like this still exist in the future. It isn't limited by geography. This has always been and will always be a realistic threat to human civilization.
@Röllinburger Depends if they grow in power. Places like North Korea probably won't, but they're still ungodly to the people that have to live under them. Generations of people subject to that is just as bad as millions at once, right? Or does it matter? It's all messed up.

Honestly, I think his mindset was "I'd rather die than live in this country but since I've got nothing to lose, I can also try escaping to the south" and miraculously it worked.
I recommend reading the book Nothing to Envy about defectors and their stories of escape. One moment that stood out was a defector seeing a bowl of meat for a dog and realizing dogs in China eat better than people in North Korea.

I’m so happy that I lived in Hawai’i and was born in Hawai’i I feel so bad for my Korean grandma as she was born in South Korea and had to deal with that drama with North Korea when she was surviving the wars :(
That's because South Korea considers the entirety of Korean Peninsula as its territory, thus North Koreans are also legally considered South Koreans. As a democratic country, it cannot stop its citizens from moving from one part of its territory to another, except for that it prohibits unauthorized visit of South Koreans to North Korea.

we're the ones who's seeing this but this is isn't useful for us because none of us here viewers live in north korea because if we do, we will not be able to see this video, there is no internet in north korea only government that watch anyone who will escape and probably not going to let them though that has access on it

There were guards on the other side of the boarder, and he could feel one of them staring at him. He stayed like that for 3-4 minutes, avoiding eye contact with the man staring at him.
Why were they told to never look through the windows?

Kim himself was in a party named 동북항일연군, a communist party that was active in the lands of 만주(it's part of China right now) and even led a battle against the Japanese soldiers. It's called 보천보 전투 in Korean. In fact, Seungman Lee was in 대한민국 임시정부, the Provisional Government of Korea as the first Provisional president.

@@gabrisgamer450 I’m not from the US. So with we I didn’t mean US. I meant the United Nations
@@gia-abcd I got that wrong, I’ll admit. However this still applies to the United Nations. Kim knows he’s lose the war if it ever started, but he also knows that other countries are aware of his weaponry and arsenal. He knows that these countries should expect heavy damage if they ever decided to interfere with what he’s doing, and the death count would be too high to even think about trying something like that.
Because there's no concrete evidence about North Korea being a rogue state
There are a couple issues stoping the world from interfering. Outside interference could trigger a response from China or Russia which, unfortunately, are the only 2 nations who could put up a fight against the USA. The USA is relevant because even though you aren't an American the UN is so dependent on US forces that there's no reality where US military isn't involved. The US also has forces and bases in SK and Japan which would force us to be involved regardless.
The other major problem is NK has nukes. So let's say that somehow both China and Russia get onboard with UN forces, completely removing any reality where NK could win. In their death throws they'd launch every nuke they have to take as many people with them as possible. SK and Japan would be in imminent danger as there might not be enough time to intercept the warheads. Other, farther places would also be in danger since it's likely that many of the nukes would be given random coordinates because Kim is actually that petty.
It's not that the rest of the world doesn't want to help. It's that helping would very likely harm and kill more people than doing nothing will.
The fact that Russia and China will just deport you back to North Korea is just horrible.

I feel the worst for the south korean girl who got dragged in
She was playing with fire (or I guess in this case death). She Escaped, got married and was a citizen, and chose to go back to the boarder. I’m not saying this is deserved, but it could definitely be foreseen to an extent
@@HEROFOREVER yeah this couldve been avoided very easily but the chance of going to near the border and getting kidnapped was highly unlikely but they prolly didn't think much of it and went anyway
@@giornogiovanna4117 the citizens of china or north korea arent the problem its the corrupt government
@@giornogiovanna4117 China has been torturing my people to follow their religion. Im with you.🇵🇰🤝🇮🇳
That woman who escaped and was stolen back... I don't know what's more scary, thinking that NK could very well be keeping an archive to hunt down _everyone_ who's ever escaped from their hands or even trying to imagine how that woman felt; you fled from a nightmare against all odds and selflessly tried to document something so traumatic for awareness, the disbelief of being seized away from your loved one and sent for the government to enslave and murder. Horrifying.
the guy who got her pulled a pro gamer move
@@notmilkzanymore3025 just stfu that is so disrespectful. Wth is wrong with you?
I think it's way worse the fact that there are some mfs that glorify communism and countries like this, all meanwhile they are on a 1 world country with good economy, comfortably sitting on their bedroom being maintained by their parents while commenting on Twitter through an iPhone
Way to get the wrong end of the stick. As if states with the best standard of living in the world haven't set up social welfare and leftist ideals. The worst off countries that still name themselves "first world" generally shun systems they see as communist, while suffering from low education, poverty and inequality. North Korea is not a question of values, it's tyranny...
@@harmzxox492 well youtube deleted my reply but there is literally nothing wrong with what i said. With the stuff that’s on your channel i should be the one asking wth is wrong with you?
The people who dressed as construction workers are pretty damn clever. It reminds me of how you can get away with almost anything in the US if you just put a construction vest and a hardhat on.
I thought it was a sitcom at first lol
Don’t forget a clipboard, and then you will become the construction supervisor
The hardhat has to look used though and not shiny new.
That is why some companies try to do everything to prevent hard hats with their company logo on it to be sold via other channels. They fear they could be used to gain access to construction or production or maintenance sites of that company.
Lmao this comment you can't just see a construction vest and a hard hat and wear it I mean damn they lucky😂😂😂
Yeah in America there’s different “Costume”you can wear here and ppl will think you in authority of some kind. Put a dress Suit on and ppl damn near bow down to you lol
12:59 I have on of that channel in my “videos to see later” playlist, I’m gonna watch it after this :)
Insane to think about how this is happening right this moment.
Fucking crazy bro
Why do people always act like brutal governments are part of our past? They'll always exist.
Cause it's not, see all the sources of the information? Anything common - maybe that they're American, of course they will portray communist countries in a bad light
@@Raren789 Wow, you are clueless.

I love that South Korea considers North Korean defectors as citizens and protects them.
but still discriminates them
@@QuillOfTheIsles2199 That's what we do to war refugees here in the US. We take them, and the public treats them like dogsh*t.
@@QuillOfTheIsles2199 We do not discriminate against North Korean defectors.
@@QuillOfTheIsles2199 I have a couple of questions for you if you don’t mind spending the time to answer them. It is not the final draft so don’t be surprised if I send another draft later.
Here it is:
Simplfied:
Why are there so few North Koreans fleeing every year compared to the (? 1.8 million) Iraqi refuges who fled Iraq during the 1991 Iraqi Uprisings? Are the reasons for why so few people escape North Korea at least vaguely similar to why there are so few Uyghurs escaping China today as refugees?
Expanded:
Why are there so few North Koreans fleeing every year compared to the (? 1.8 million) Iraqi refuges who fled Iraq during the 1991 Iraqi Uprisings (the upringsings by the Kurds and Shiites in Iraqi following the 1991 Gulf War that tried to overthrow Saddam)?
The number of North Koreans fleeing each year is usually less than 2,000
Is it because Iraq in 1991 was in a state of chaos and disorder which made it easier for Iraqis to escape Saddam Hussein’s brutal surveillance whereas North Korea is not in a state of chaos which makes it extremely difficult to get through North Korea’s _______________?
I heard that a reason why the Uyghurs don’t flee en masse from China despite them being imprisoned is largely because of them being under heavy surveillance. Having said this, is it (high level of surveillance) also a similar reason why the number of people fleeing North Korea is so small.
A related question:
Saddam Hussein was also an extremely oppressive dictator. Were most Iraqis, particularly the Kurds (an ethnic group persecuted under Saddam) under heavy surveillance like the Uyghurs in China?
Just so I know whether or not your answer is reliable, how much do you know about the subjects that I am asking about?

If leaving your country without permission is considered escaping, your entire country is a prison.
tell that to julian assange
...a prison you're born in
Pretty sure felons in the US can't leave the country
@@wertiaaudit5746 ya well that’s felons
Privileged Americans: Omg that's like the US 😩 I want to leave so bad but I have to do a bunch of paperwork to get out. Can you IMAGINE 😭😭😭
As a South Korean I am grateful that I don't live up in the North. I'm also thankful that my grandpa moved to Busan before the Korean War started.
Imagine telling a North Korean, oblivious to the outside world, that the cold war ended 30 years ago...
Wow
@⚽️ they don’t have access to internet lol… everything is monitored homie
@⚽️ I'm pretty sure you are a not really familiar with this topic
@⚽️ you're clearly not educated on what it's like there lmfao
I think North Koreans have a sense of time 😂
I always feel so lucky to born in S. Korea when i see these kinds of videos. My neighboring brothers detained in the northern part of the peninsula makes me emotional every time. South Korean government is willing to provide freedom and democracy to all North Koreans as of now. I hope my brothers and sisters could live in a free country just like i do right now. Thanks for the vided.
That's sad
When did the South Korean government and people change their stances on this? From what I’ve heard, they’re worried about what will happen to the economy if North Korea was liberated.
Omg
@@mrminingplays is that really it? Just omg, nothing else?……. Ok
South korea is dictatorship
Imagine getting out, just to go back to the danger to make a video. That's just tempting fate
Yeah I was thinking about that. That really was not a smart move. Like if you made it out please just stay away from the north and anyone who supports the north. Both of those rules were broken in this situation.
It's your whole life though. And knowing nobody really knows seems frustrating. I would spend my time trying to get everyone out. Or let everyone know how bad
Yeah I can’t wrap my mind around that…like, why even risk that?
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
That’s just straight up stupid.
The bravery these people have in escaping is commendable.
Most of Chinese are actually sympathetic for the NK defectors, but for political standpoint you just don’t want a hostile country with a baby leader and his nuclear toys next to your doorstep…
Most Chinese probably are but I don't think the Chinese government is
Well that's an excuse for being non sympathetic
you know that Chinas is infinite times more powerful than NK and have them on a leash right? they are not scared.
@@user-fv7jd4xj5n that's not true. NK has nuclear technology maybe as big as America bcz we don't know everything. There is nothing more powerful than nuclear weapons
China supports North Korea because it's a buffer zone for them. If North Korea were reabsorbed into South Korea, China would then have to deal with the influence of freedom and capitalism moving in through their border.
The CCP can't allow that. They need North Korea as a shield against freedom so they can continue to oppress the Chinese people.

I'm afraid people are forgetting that dictatorships like this still exist in the future. It isn't limited by geography. This has always been and will always be a realistic threat to human civilization.
@Röllinburger Depends if they grow in power. Places like North Korea probably won't, but they're still ungodly to the people that have to live under them. Generations of people subject to that is just as bad as millions at once, right? Or does it matter? It's all messed up. I still wouldn't be surprised if there was a nazi Germany 2.0 somewhere down the timeline assuming humanity thrives long enough.
@Röllinburger
The AfD party in Germany is growing, though.

Democracy is a new concept. We've lived in authoritarian systems much longer and yet continue to exist.
This is borderline fear mongering
@@TheNewblade1 It's not exactly world ending, but my definition of human civilization relates to who had to suffer underneath that dictatorship. Fear mongering though? Oppressive and genocidal regimes are not fear mongering.

When the villain of last season appears this season and saves the protagonist
They didn't destroy countries bc countries didn't really exist at the time. And they would offer two choices: surrender or burn. If they surrender, they were treated quite well.
They conquered , but honestly they probably were better than most..
They just conquered more, but Vlad the Impaler ate his lunch while watching the survivors of his atrocities be impaled 🤷🏻♂️
This makes me appreciate even more the fact I was born and live in a free country where there is freedom of expression. WHAT a difference there is between North and South Korea. Must be very special for North Koreans who managed to pass the border

The sad reality is that those who needs this video can't watch this video.
South Korea is a beautiful country which not only allows the people of North Korea to live in their country but also gives citizenship, I have a lot of respect for South Korea.
By official consititutuon law of South Korea, North Korea belongs to republic of Korea and North Koreans are our citizens.
It's also because of their population
Of course, they would only let you in if you somehow manage to escape without getting killed or tortured
You are on Crack Cocaine? Have you been to S.Korea? the most chaotic country I have ever been to... Koreans don't know what the white line is on the road stop anywhere they want to + they park and drive on sidewalks.
Minimum wage is $3.75KW and the prices are the same like it is in USA.
Labors laws are a JOKE... if you don't work 12 hrs for your employer or more you will be replaced.
S.Korea life is a struggle to its highest level..
AT LEAST IN N.KOREA YOU GET FREE HOUSING AND NORMAL WORKING HOURS + FED AT WORK....and no CRIMINALS WILL ATTACK YOU....on the streets...
When a nation's security is very much concerned about people trying to get out, isn't it like a *giant nation-wide prison* ?
nk isint that concerned with people leaving. thousand of north korean people work and live abroad. also people in north korea commonly go on sight seeing trips in china
Basically yes, it gives me eastern Germany vibes to an extreme
@Angel Valdez in north korea or in attempt to cross into another country illegaly?
@@littlelad406 watch the video
@@littlelad406 obviously it’s easy for you to say, you’ve never been or learnt about NK lmao. Tsk tsk tsk..
The fact that someone was able to risk themselves to escape from NK, to get shot *FIVE TIMES* , only tells me how ruthless that place really is.
The fact that guy actually took 5 bullets and keep going rather than giving up and surrender tells you how messed up NK is.
@@siorganism YES this xD his motive really put things into perspective
Honestly, I think his mindset was "I'd rather die than live in this country but since I've got nothing to lose, I can also try escaping to the south" and miraculously it worked.
Well, that’s how many hit
I'm more surprised about the fact the guards didn't land more shots tbh
I like your channel ❤
I recommend reading the book Nothing to Envy about defectors and their stories of escape. One moment that stood out was a defector seeing a bowl of meat for a dog and realizing dogs in China eat better than people in North Korea.
@Ripudaman Kochhar tf??
Ayo that's racist
@BigNoobGod No, racist is talking about 13% being responsible for over 50%
@Ripudaman Kochhar HAHAHAH GAGO RACIST
@Ripudaman Kochhar what's sad it's that in terms of poverty even dog is a good meal. so you should think why in the past they did eat domestic animals
My grandfather from my dad’s side escaped from north korea during the 625 war at the age of 5
He had to walk on corpses, leave his father behind cuz he was captured by the government and had to hide anytime he saw north korean soldiers
Luckily he made it out but few of his family members had been either killed by the bombings or got captured
He’s still alive and healthy at 78 years old but he still remembers that event clearly
Oh my god, imagine what he had to go through. I feel so bad for your grandfather. North Korea really is something, dude
I never understood why they even care if you leave the country anyway?? Why do they want you to stay and be poor and miserable. Doesnt even seem they have enough to feed everyone
@@frankgallagher8760 everyone wants to leave North korea. If everyone leaves North Korea then their economy gets even worse, kinda like when east germany prevented people from going to west germany. They were losing population and less population means less workers. Plus I don't believe the NK police or military would think twice about killing you, or abducting you into a concentration camp, so they use fear to keep the people in check and keep all power at the very top.
Bottom line is that North Korea doesn't care about the people, they just care about labor and keeping you in line.
@@frankgallagher8760 bc everyone would go away then and they do not want that
@ashley_tt so they're korean
Honestly, the fact that people still have to do this kind of stuff just to have their own rights to freedom is horrific
I know, it's shocking how disgusting and evil some people can be.

There is a South Korean movie called "Crossing" that tells the story of a North Korean family trying to escape. It's on Netflix, and possibly might be here on TH-cam as well. It's in Korean, so you have to read the subtitles, but it was supposed to be a quite accurate depiction of NK. It received a number of awards as well.
I cant see on netflix is It Only On American Netflix Or All
Ill look for that movie
Thanks I'll look for it
@busslayer I just saw it, this is the first time I actually cried and got emotional by watching a movie. If this is how most of the North Korean people live, I feel really bad for them T_T
Searched netflix and this movie doesn't appear to exist anymore, the nearest one I can find is a similar movie from 2008

The father and son duo was actually surprising for me, after the son went to seoul, i did not expect the father to ever make it back and be sent to north korea, i was happy he actually made it and reunited with his family.
I'm guessing the daughters paid the broker a LOT of money to bribe the Chinese guards/police to let him go.
OMG, I was wondering why/how the North Koreans released him. He must have had a guardian angel watching him.
Makes me wonder if someone at the Chinese prison camp hates what North Korea does to the refugees and managed to pull the right strings.
The father took it like a champ and hiked to thailand AGAIN
I’m so happy that I lived in Hawai’i and was born in Hawai’i I feel so bad for my Korean grandma as she was born in South Korea and had to deal with that drama with North Korea when she was surviving the wars :(
I love that South Korea takes in all North Korea defectors in and considers them full citizens.
That's because South Korea considers the entirety of Korean Peninsula as its territory, thus North Koreans are also legally considered South Koreans. As a democratic country, it cannot stop its citizens from moving from one part of its territory to another, except for that it prohibits unauthorized visit of South Koreans to North Korea.
The north koreans havent done anything wrong of course south korea would accept more citizens
They're the same people. They should.
North korean also considers south korean as koreans. The division is created by USSR and USA. Without them, they would still be one country.
I feel like you want to compare this to the immigration crisis of Europe, because if you do, it's not the same at all.
I would like to take a moment to appreciate just how much work this vid probably took. Really detailed, and full of info important for everyone to know.
It’s crazy you have to escape a country and just can’t leave. Makes me very grateful to live where I live
I cant escape from my country (Ukraine). Martial law closed borders for man. But also almost whole country sitting at home without job and money. It is worse than living NK. Our goverment is corrupted - they steal money that world sent us
Fun fact: 0 percent of the viewers are here to get tips on actually escaping Korea
It makes you wonder how many crazy stories there were about defectors that never made it to our ears.
Defectors who are paid by the U.S and South Korea to talk shit about their country? The same "oppressive" country where they have free healthcare, free college and beautiful architecture? Please. TH-camr "Hakim" exposed how fraudulent North Korean defectors are.
