That’s me in the first video!! I was a Marine and my rank was Corporal. I was living in an apartment because I am married and that’s why I also have a dog. Thank you for those that already clarified that!!
When I was a teen, I was taught by my mom that a healthy man who depended on a woman wasn't a complete man. I learned to clean, cook, sew, etc. Now that my wife is disabled, I am honored to do it all for her since she did it for me for over 25 years. Nothing weak about it since I depend on nobody else and can survive on my own and live quite comfortably.
I hate it as much as anyone, but I do understand it as a necessity... Men don't get pregnant, therefore they can still work even when they are expecting a child... Pregnant women & nursing mothers can't work and can't perform their duties in the NK Army's eyes... When a woman becomes a mother, that child is her priority and not the Army, and that's the problem...
I cant... this makes me so sad... women deserve so much more respect than that. A soldier is a soldier regardless of sex and deserves ALL of the rights and freedoms of the people they protect.

Edit: people keep commenting on the clueless and fix it comment and how they don't see it 😒I'm pretty sure I saw it when I posted this 1 month ago or I wouldn't have said it and it could've been deleted or maybe it was my mistake. I commented on what I saw but if ya'll don't see it that's also fine🙂🤷🏾♀️ People on here calling her clueless and she needs to "FIX IT" but she really doesn't know about the world and uses her YT to learn so don't be disrespectful to her and help her understand. I would assume that everyone in NK are called soldiers.
those people calling her clueless cant even imagine being cut off from information for more than a week they literally told her what , 30 years? 40 years? , that the way she learned it , is the right way and everything other people tell is the wrong way its a miracle she isnt just flabbergasted and in denial about literally everything
Exactly. And North Korea is known for restricting information from the world. They don't have access to internet and a lot of streaming services the way the rest of the world does. Many communist countries are like that. So how would they know what the world is like if they never see, hear or read about ti? I'm glad she's in South Korea now so that she has a little more freedom
I think her saying “Army” is the same as “Military”, i.e. “She is in the military.” In North Korea she was a member of the KPA ... Korean People’s Army, which contains all of the branches of their military.
As a person whose native language is Korean, I can confirm that this is correct. For some reason, we used to translate "military" in Korean to an English word "army", even when we don't intend to denote a specific branch of it. It feels a bit strange because we also have a dedicated word for the other meaning, which literally translates to "land military". On a side note, there's also a subtle difference between how the word "army" is used between those two variants of Korean languages, although it didn't show in the video. When a N. Korean says "army" it can either mean "military" or just a soldier, depending on the context.
It's interesting. Maybe women should also learn outside work as well 😊 Then both genders are not dependent on each other in case something happens to the spouse...?
@@kiraneko8d369 sometimes i watch these videos just so i can make sure that i still feel grateful about the life i live. sometimes you forget to appreciate everything you have because you never knew the idea of having less
Yes mine are indoor/outdoor . They're outside when the weather is nice though I'll do bring them inside every night so they can sleep inside. they come with me and help me whenever I am tending to our farm animals. Though my cat is a indoor cat only.
The first video is a female Marine, not an Army soldier. The "elastic" she used on her boot for the pant leg is called a blousing strap, some pants are made with a built in cord you can tie-but usually only on the expeditionary uniform. That second video bun is out of regulations-it's too far from the back of her head. They make maternity options for all the female uniforms. When a female is pregnant they send her to shore duty because she can't be in combat/deployed. After her maternity leave she is required to be back within weight/fitness standards and will go back to combat/deployment. You're also required to have a family care plan so that your kids are cared for when you're gone. In cases of single parents or when both parents are deployed (i.e. dual military marriages) the parents have to give guardianship to someone else (usually family or close friend) because you can't always take your kids with you where you go.
Ehhh we call them boot bands.....and we wear them even though our utilities already have the blousing strings built in. Marines use bands/straps because they look better and are faster to tank off
@@bertellijustin6376 Many SMs from all branches of the military use the "boot blousers", sold in all military clothing stores. The built in ribbons just look sloppy and many times they come out of the top of the boots. I used the blouses in the Army and for securing some of my equipment like the wet weather gear or any small/medium item that can be rolled. Versatile device.
It’s gotta be hard for her to watch some of the US military related videos. I know it’s easy to sneer and look down on the people who chose to serve in the military, to try and make yourself feel better about your own life by assuming anyone who joins the military is just one step up from a criminal or cognitively disabled. But when you see the raw and honest reaction from someone like her or her colleagues at Dimple it must come crashing down on them how just a simple change in philosophy would allow the North Korea military to become legitimately professional and be proud of that distinction
My aunt is an ex-navy officer (I never remember her rank, but she was in the navy for a long time, around 10 years? She got in a near-fatal motorcycle accident and had to be discharged), but she still lives her life on strict routine. It actually helped my cousin out a lot to have a mom who understands the need for strict schedules. They’re both amazing women. My aunt has a little farm at her house with chickens, goats, cats, I think I remember some turkeys? But she likes to be self-sustaining, which, honestly, inspired me to want to live this way. She’s very tough.
I grew up in the countryside so I relate to her when she says she doesn't understand why people keep dogs inside, to the people in my house they are supposed to live in wide areas or the backyard.
I think it depends on the type of dog and where you are geographically. I cannot imagine a chihuahua or poodle out in sub zero weather (it is illegal in some places in the North). Nor can I imagine a Siberian husky in the house in the summer lol
Yes my father always said animals true home is outdoors. He would take my pet rabbits cage outside, for him to get sunlight when he kept him for me. As I mostly had him in my room in the cage, then would let him out to hop around the house.
I prefer to have my dogs inside personally because I can attend to them better and make them more comfortable considering where I live the weather is unpredictable whether it’ll be hot, mega hot, cold, or pouring
I really do feel bad for North Koreans they really do have a heart and just like everyone else in the world . We in the US don't realise how fortunate we are to have the luxury to do things however this is peace time and curious of what war time would look like and I don't think that a lot of stuff that you seen his video would work during war.

Whether or not it’s an argument for any reason, it’s such a profound statement. This is a case where these women are forced to say it was an accident even if it wasn’t one. THAT is unbelievably tragic.
@@klitzy well, when it's _forced,_ I would hope this argument suffices for you. She did say in the video that women who do get pregnant can be shamed or humiliated and forced to secretly abort. So yes, when you're force to abort and call it an accident, it is sad to call love an accident.

This was me in the air force!! Had 3 children while serving my country Yes we have pets. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is quite fascinating!!
Please make a video where she learns more about dogs and how people treat them and respect them. As a person with social anxiety dogs and other house pets bring so much joy and love into the house hold. In my opinion animals are overall great companions. There are so many beautiful and inspiring videos online of dogs bonding with their owners are showing impressive strengths. It would be nice to introduce them to someone who isn't conditioned to these ideas.
I just watched a comp of men being surprised by their families or partners and they act they are being given news their having a baby or being handed their own child.
In many developing countries people keep dogs and cats outside the house because of the resources needed to house train pets. When I was a kid we had cats who lived in our yard.
@@heatherswanson1664 My family is from a 3rd world country. Your absolutely right. My grandma straight up picked animals from the streets when they were young and made them her pets despite the lack of resources available.

Wow. Watching this really sobered me up. I serve in the United States Navy and I honestly don’t know what I would do if small creature comforts like driving to work and sleeping in your own apartment were obstructed by my choice to serve my country. Thank you for sharing this with us, it really changed my perspective on my own life. I’m so happy that you are now in a better place. 💕
No shot Sherlock.... You have access to information but you're clueless than her. Who don't know nk is a closed u country? The people know nothing about outside world
Its not that weird many of my muslim friends dont allow dogs in the house same goes for a few Orthodox jews I know. Its because dogs can be seen as unclean and eat shit sometimes.
If you live on post in the barracks its little less luxurious, depending on rank .. Unless you are in a K -9 unit or they are preforming random search typically no dogs are allowed in barracks ..
I honestly can't help but feel bad for her, when she reacted by saying "Whoa, can she do that?" It really shined a light on the perspective of her life. I hope that she's living the fullest of her life and is super happy. T~T
I have viewed several videos of yours. And first let me say thank you for taking time to present your life in the N. K. Army. But more importantly Thank You for your courage in making your way to America. Undoubtedly it was a frightening trip to make. I just wish I could hear one of your lectures. Stay strong, and may you have good fortune.
It's costuming now, for all practical intents and purposes, worn specifically for vlogs like this. Because otherwise some know-it-all out there might call her claims of service into question.
When you can't feed yourself... how to you feed a pet? When you only have time to hit the bed and get any meaningful sleep before working till you hit the bed again you don't have time to feed/bathe/spend time with a dog. People are so protective of their animals, but for them... it's all they can do to survive. Just saying. Perspective matters. She has never known the luxuries we and most developed countries have.
@@wtcamer quite over reacting, I know why she didn't have a pet she explained that very well in the video and I'm not stupid I know what it's like to be poor and not have any time. My comment was souly for her to check out some videos to understand why people love them and keep them in their homes as pets.
I feel sad for her when she talks about pets being food. I realize that it's a completely different culture and food is a precious commodity there in N Korea. My heart aches for the people there. I cannot fathom how it would be to be forced to eat my dog Beauregarde. He is a 250 pound English Mastiff. He is definitely part of our family. I am so sorry for the people of North Korea. ❤

Thank you for sharing. You do assume the military experience you have is the same unless you are taught otherwise. My dad was I the Army in UK. Cutest response, the love in her eyes watching the lady soldier. Complete awe. Not all adults have had the same experience. None of us should ever stop learning about each other.
I chuckled a little bit too. But I bet her real meaning was lost in the translation. I enjoy being "domesticated. Also me, along with millions and millions of other Americans, my pets sleep on my bed with us. Also, people in the United States spend more on their pets than anywhere else in the world. Our pets,for the most part, ate pampered.
Yes she used the Korean word 가정적 (kajungjuk) which means something like ‘attached to the household’. This is not the same word used for domesticated animals haha
@@moahdakka6887 i wouldnt say its sad. It depends on the people in the relationship if they both want to share housework or not. Theres still families where the men do hard labor while the women do chores. It all depends.

@@alwayswantedababy4563 I am against industrial farming but hunting animals for food as mean of survival is normal , even animals eat each other for survival this is nature .
I picked up on some pain in her eyes when she saw the pregnant woman and the babies. I have a feeling she has longed to be a mother. There is so much sadness and turmoil in the US right now that it's sometimes hard to see how good we have it. I'm thankful to have been born here, thankful for our way of living. So very thankful that I (as a human being, a career driven RN and single mom who puts her kids and indoor dog 🤣 first, have the opportunity to make my life whatever I want it to be. All it takes is hard work. I'm so lucky to have so many freedoms and options for my future. The US is far from perfect but we live in a country where we have the freedom to voice our opinions and stand up for what we believe in. It's a beautiful thing! I wish this lady nothing but the best in life. Maybe she will still be able to have a family and career some day. Now that she sees what life can be like, I'm sure that's all she will think about.

@@literate-aside why are you assuming that the translator speaks english first and korean second? extremely few native english speakers learn korean.... let alone any other languages. so it is fair to say that english isnt' their first language. if it bothers you so much... go learn korean. google translate doesn't actually translate like a real translator. you've got a bug up your butt and it's seriously prairie dogging - everybody can see it.
That Marine has a house. This is a little misleading to view this from the standpoint of a married person. Many if not most are not married and live in the barracks.
She likely doesn't know the distinction between the U.S. branches of service, nor that there is a mandated time period for enlisted to live in the barracks before they're allotted on- or off-base housing. I think the fact that soldiers have that option at all is what surprises her, especially when (for the U.S. Army) officers have no requirement to live in the barracks or even on-base. She likely had to live in the barracks for her entire eight years of service, and she states that even officers did as well.
@@sacreblam5711 The title says "daily life" and this is not the typical daily life. I was just saying the "title" is misleading in respects to the average soldier. I dont have a problem with her reaction just the title.
@@InsomniaCast I appreciate your response but I will state that the title is not misleading as there is no indicator that would cause confusion in the title. She is indeed watching (1) a military woman, and (2) her daily life. There is no set "daily life" for any one division of any military branch, nor for any average soldier. There is a set routine that remains the same across the board, to be sure, but there are (1) enlisted in the barracks, (2) enlisted in on-base housing, (3) enlisted in off-base housing - and if you want to be more specific - there are (4) enlisted in apartments, (5) enlisted in roommate situations, (6) enlisted renting a home, and so on. There is no set standard for entry into any of the military branches either; there is entry through contract, ROTC, dual programs, academies, and others, even excluding drafting. You'd have to have an incredible specificity to what demographic you're talking about, and have that knowledge as someone that is familiar with the U.S. military branches. Dimple is a Korean-based channel, interviewing primarily NK to SK defectors. I suppose what I'm saying is that there is a lingual and cultural barrier that does not account for the "average military life" you're attempting to denote, nor is the title incorrect in any form, so the title itself is not misleading.
Wow! Thanks for making this video! I just subscribed to your channel after watching it! And thanks also to Ahn Hye jung! God bless you and keep you safe always! 🙏🏼💖
She's so kind and beautiful. So sorry that they tell you we are monsters we LOVE CARE RAISE OUR KIDS TO BE PEACEFUL. I HOPE ONE DAY KOREAN PEOPLE CAN SEE HOW GOOD PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONS REALLY ARE.
The South Koreans already know what you spoke about above, but the North Koreans are part of a brainwashed society, living in the 17th Century, where the Rulers have everything, the average citizen has little to nothing, and the rulers are happy to keep it that way.
In the states we love our pets a great deal. We treat them, as children. A common saying here is we have a four legged child. My dog never leaves my side, & sleeps with my husband, & I. My grandparents generation never allowed ani.als in the house either. This has come about in the last 30-40 years. Many treat their pets as well as they treat any family member.
@drag0nfly_girl not everyone does. We do because our dog is a seizure alert dog, & tells us. If she wasn't sleeping near him she wouldn't be able to tell us. Many people love to spoil their pets.
“Domesticated?” REALLY??? What I heard was “family oriented.” She wasn’t dissing the husband. She thought it was cool that he was centered on the family. Just wanted to clarify... 😉 Also - her Korean is CRYSTAL Clear! She should teach Korean language - she is very easy for foreigners to understand 💜💜💜
That translation was weird. Om the one hand it says domesticated but later she said "North Korean men should learn" as in she complimented American men for helping around the house.
I have not been a soldier, so what I say doesn't matter. But I am very glad for you that you are in a better place now. I can not imagine being on the opposite side from you. Under any circumstances, I would only have wanted to be nice to you. If you don't mind my saying, you seem so nice and well-adjusted and good. Even in the field, I would probably only have wanted to make your day nice and happy and good for you. I am so glad I was never a soldier. Thank you very much for making this video.
I always love watching all the videos you guys post on Dimple, but I’d just like to make a correction about the VLOGS that were shown, the person making is a Marine not in the Army or a Soldier. A different branch we usually take offense to being called soldiers lol because we’re Marines. And she enlisted.
She comes from such a dark, shitty and cold place yet she's so happy, kind and brings a lot of light and joy, you would never think she comes from where she actually is
She's way more grateful just watching them live life of relative leisure then the people living in such a great time and place themselves. It's sad how quickly people have become ungrateful and lost their touch of humility in the west it's unfortunate she had to go through such a bad time to have this appreciation but it would be great if she could spread her humility to the people over here.
I feel more sad about their people as I watch this series. Of course for them, it's "normal" since it's literally their lifestyle since they were born. They do not know that their ceiling is being covered by someone who doesn't want them to be free and enjoy their lives to the fullest.
I had my son while in the Air Force, on Okinawa. 1980's. I was married to an AF Sargent. The military was very accommodating. Thank you for your perspective.
You are beautiful, intelligent and funny. Also you made an excellent video for me to enjoy and learn from. Thank you, dear one. Prayers and love from Mississippi, USA.
I just got out of the Army. We have PT in the morning. We don't wake up and put on our duty uniform and go to work. We wake up, put on our PT (physical training) uniform and get to formation by 0630. Then we train until 8 then go get a shower and then put on our duty uniform. Even when pregnant, we go to P3T, which is our pregnancy physical training. This soldier you showed getting ready, that is not typical. We do take our kids with us, but not to work, we take them to daycare or something. I thought it was very strange that she was waking up and getting right into duty uniform. That's only done when you have staff duty or CQ. I know the soldier in the video is a Marine, but I was pretty sure they do PT too. Strange.
@@Jalopygofar In the Army the job doesn't matter. EVERYBODY does PT in the morning unless you have some duty or injury that prevents it. The only exceptions I can think of are like SFAB guys. Maybe the Airforce is different. That's probably why everyone jokes and calls it the Chairforce.
Yes, we PT as well. But not every morning/day is the same. It just happened to be that on this particular day I didn’t have PT. If I did I wouldn’t have been able to come home and record it as I lived off base. So it’s not strange at all
@@YarielizOrtiz I figured there had to be a reason. I wanted to look for the original video but I didn't see a link to it. It is strange to me because in the Army, you don't really see that often and it was being presented like the norm by the people doing the interview in this video. But cool, you don't have to do PT every morning. Must be nice. I dont either now, cuz I'm out. Lol.

I felt so sad for her when she saw the U.S. Marine pregnant. You could see the sadness and loathing in her eyes of wanting a baby or even marriage. Perhaps she knew someone she would've liked to marry and start a family with. I hope she can now because it's not too late to!
She has a child now which she's talked about in other videos. She escaped North Korea a long time ago so she does have those things now but couldn't when she was in the miliary.
If im honest, im from the US and I didnt know our soldiers had it that good either. Im glad they do, but I always imagined it to be much less normal and stuff
When you volunteer, you give up some of your rights for the duration. There is always the underlying fact that things aren't normal, but most of the time we can live somewhat normally. Everyone is capable of living a spartan lifestyle when necessary.
That’s me in the first video!! I was a Marine and my rank was Corporal. I was living in an apartment because I am married and that’s why I also have a dog. Thank you for those that already clarified that!!

Nothing weak about it since I depend on nobody else and can survive on my own and live quite comfortably.

I think her saying “Army” is the same as “Military”, i.e. “She is in the military.”
In North Korea she was a member of the KPA ... Korean People’s Army, which contains all of the branches of their military.
As a person whose native language is Korean, I can confirm that this is correct. For some reason, we used to translate "military" in Korean to an English word "army", even when we don't intend to denote a specific branch of it. It feels a bit strange because we also have a dedicated word for the other meaning, which literally translates to "land military".
On a side note, there's also a subtle difference between how the word "army" is used between those two variants of Korean languages, although it didn't show in the video. When a N. Korean says "army" it can either mean "military" or just a soldier, depending on the context.
A lot of people do that
It's same here in the Philippines. For most people when you say army it's for all branches.
I was today years old when I learned they were, in fact, not the same 😂

Her: Why on Earth the dogs are inside?!?!!!?!
Me: *in bed laying down with 2 small dogs, cat, and german Shepherd *.... Well this is akward
Some pets are indoor, some are outdoor and others are both.
I had to pause when she said "they grew pets to eat, but not to live life together with"
WHAT
Wonderfully stated!
In my country dogs lives outside, they do get shower everyweek though.
Yes mine are indoor/outdoor . They're outside when the weather is nice though I'll do bring them inside every night so they can sleep inside. they come with me and help me whenever I am tending to our farm animals. Though my cat is a indoor cat only.
The first video is a female Marine, not an Army soldier. The "elastic" she used on her boot for the pant leg is called a blousing strap, some pants are made with a built in cord you can tie-but usually only on the expeditionary uniform. That second video bun is out of regulations-it's too far from the back of her head. They make maternity options for all the female uniforms. When a female is pregnant they send her to shore duty because she can't be in combat/deployed. After her maternity leave she is required to be back within weight/fitness standards and will go back to combat/deployment. You're also required to have a family care plan so that your kids are cared for when you're gone. In cases of single parents or when both parents are deployed (i.e. dual military marriages) the parents have to give guardianship to someone else (usually family or close friend) because you can't always take your kids with you where you go.
Ehhh we call them boot bands.....and we wear them even though our utilities already have the blousing strings built in. Marines use bands/straps because they look better and are faster to tank off
Thank you for getting that Branch thing straight!!
Also the amount of make up used was beyond regulation. Not an example of combat ready. As stated reduced duty.
@@bertellijustin6376 Many SMs from all branches of the military use the "boot blousers", sold in all military clothing stores. The built in ribbons just look sloppy and many times they come out of the top of the boots. I used the blouses in the Army and for securing some of my equipment like the wet weather gear or any small/medium item that can be rolled. Versatile device.
That system is pretty organized
6:45 she almost cries see female army got pregnant :(
yes... maybe it's her dream
"it's sad to call love an accident" :(
You could hear the sadness and affection in her voice. It was heartbreaking and touching at the same time
It’s gotta be hard for her to watch some of the US military related videos. I know it’s easy to sneer and look down on the people who chose to serve in the military, to try and make yourself feel better about your own life by assuming anyone who joins the military is just one step up from a criminal or cognitively disabled. But when you see the raw and honest reaction from someone like her or her colleagues at Dimple it must come crashing down on them how just a simple change in philosophy would allow the North Korea military to become legitimately professional and be proud of that distinction
When she saw the pregnant military person her whole self changed. I really hope she’s okay
My aunt is an ex-navy officer (I never remember her rank, but she was in the navy for a long time, around 10 years? She got in a near-fatal motorcycle accident and had to be discharged), but she still lives her life on strict routine. It actually helped my cousin out a lot to have a mom who understands the need for strict schedules. They’re both amazing women. My aunt has a little farm at her house with chickens, goats, cats, I think I remember some turkeys? But she likes to be self-sustaining, which, honestly, inspired me to want to live this way. She’s very tough.
Ok but can we talk about this ladies AMAZING cheekbones and the fact her talking sounds like music? Korean women are so pretty.
Yes. Her skin is gorgeous

I grew up in the countryside so I relate to her when she says she doesn't understand why people keep dogs inside, to the people in my house they are supposed to live in wide areas or the backyard.
Same my parents don't allow my dogs inside
I think it depends on the type of dog and where you are geographically. I cannot imagine a chihuahua or poodle out in sub zero weather (it is illegal in some places in the North). Nor can I imagine a Siberian husky in the house in the summer lol
Yes my father always said animals true home is outdoors. He would take my pet rabbits cage outside, for him to get sunlight when he kept him for me. As I mostly had him in my room in the cage, then would let him out to hop around the house.
I prefer to have my dogs inside personally because I can attend to them better and make them more comfortable considering where I live the weather is unpredictable whether it’ll be hot, mega hot, cold, or pouring
@@kitbina1925 There is no such thing as an animal true home is outdoor.
I really do feel bad for North Koreans they really do have a heart and just like everyone else in the world . We in the US don't realise how fortunate we are to have the luxury to do things however this is peace time and curious of what war time would look like and I don't think that a lot of stuff that you seen his video would work during war.
I realise as an American but not everyone in America is Rich
Most American born people don't know what freedom is unless they were ever deprived of it.
@@ChillPlayz8508 Compared to most people in the world, especially North Koreans, even "poor" Americans are quite rich.
Actually of course, we are fighting a low grade war.

“It’s sad to call love an accident”
Wow. Hopefully some perspectives are changed
I hope you don't use it as an anti abortion argument
Whether or not it’s an argument for any reason, it’s such a profound statement. This is a case where these women are forced to say it was an accident even if it wasn’t one. THAT is unbelievably tragic.
I doubt it. But yeah it really is sad that people could be so callous about human life.
@@klitzy well, when it's _forced,_ I would hope this argument suffices for you. She did say in the video that women who do get pregnant can be shamed or humiliated and forced to secretly abort. So yes, when you're force to abort and call it an accident, it is sad to call love an accident.
"It's sad to call love an accident" (I for one love this sentence)

To be fair, any country looks like paradise compared to North Korea

Actually now they can
@@krissve Lucky!
The way the USAF & Army rolled up sleeves enabled them to grab the cuff and pull them down in case of fire or other emergency. You can't do that by rolling them up in the Marine fashion. It was a PITA but I always appreciated it and the look.
The camo pattern on the uniform is a dead giveaway that she's a Marine.
@@Razgriz85 i'd say the service strip above her left blouse pocket is moreso

Please make a video where she learns more about dogs and how people treat them and respect them. As a person with social anxiety dogs and other house pets bring so much joy and love into the house hold. In my opinion animals are overall great companions. There are so many beautiful and inspiring videos online of dogs bonding with their owners are showing impressive strengths. It would be nice to introduce them to someone who isn't conditioned to these ideas.
I just watched a comp of men being surprised by their families or partners and they act they are being given news their having a baby or being handed their own child.
In many developing countries people keep dogs and cats outside the house because of the resources needed to house train pets. When I was a kid we had cats who lived in our yard.
@@heatherswanson1664 My family is from a 3rd world country. Your absolutely right. My grandma straight up picked animals from the streets when they were young and made them her pets despite the lack of resources available.

No shot Sherlock.... You have access to information but you're clueless than her. Who don't know nk is a closed u country? The people know nothing about outside world
@@keikey9123 She's talking about the dog inside the house, in North Korea they probably dont allow that...
Kei Key weirdo, read again what I wrote
Its not that weird many of my muslim friends dont allow dogs in the house same goes for a few Orthodox jews I know. Its because dogs can be seen as unclean and eat shit sometimes.
People have no reading skills. She never said it's weird, she just pointed her being surprised...
Her face, the moment she saw the pregnant soldier... universal look. No boundries.
If you live on post in the barracks its little less luxurious, depending on rank .. Unless you are in a K -9 unit or they are preforming random search typically no dogs are allowed in barracks ..
If I did any military, I toldly want be with K 9 unit dogs are amazing!
If you're married or are a certain rank you can get BAH and live in base housing/out in town. Many times people just get roommates and live together.
Most ppl live in base housing and they go home and come to work everyday they have kids dogs anything they want
@@Nizhonibearcreek Yes, that's housing on base, I was talking about the barracks..
Amma say it loud and clear, North Korea is stuck in a time machine, we in 2021 and they still in 1916

I honestly can't help but feel bad for her, when she reacted by saying "Whoa, can she do that?" It really shined a light on the perspective of her life. I hope that she's living the fullest of her life and is super happy. T~T
Her face when she saw the baby bump made my heart hurt
I have viewed several videos of yours. And first let me say thank you for taking time to present your life in the N. K. Army. But more importantly Thank You for your courage in making your way to America. Undoubtedly it was a frightening trip to make. I just wish I could hear one of your lectures. Stay strong, and may you have good fortune.
Does this nice lady know that the military is voluntary? We would like to see her in her regular clothes
It's costuming now, for all practical intents and purposes, worn specifically for vlogs like this. Because otherwise some know-it-all out there might call her claims of service into question.
Just admit no clothes
This costume proves she was in DPRK Army? I bet she would like to express herself without, unless this is some psychological way of deprogramming.
@@terryarmbruster7986 Not gonna lie, i wouldn't complain. :)
Her military was not voluntary and she wears the uniform to show where she came from not because she has to wear it. :/
*Can we have a video on k9s in the military?* As she seemed confused on why people keep dogs as inside pets, and how she didn't have time for them.
When you can't feed yourself... how to you feed a pet? When you only have time to hit the bed and get any meaningful sleep before working till you hit the bed again you don't have time to feed/bathe/spend time with a dog. People are so protective of their animals, but for them... it's all they can do to survive. Just saying. Perspective matters. She has never known the luxuries we and most developed countries have.
@@wtcamer quite over reacting, I know why she didn't have a pet she explained that very well in the video and I'm not stupid I know what it's like to be poor and not have any time. My comment was souly for her to check out some videos to understand why people love them and keep them in their homes as pets.
If you watch a lot of dramas, kpop or any Korean program you can notice that her accent it’s different from the south 😲
Yeah, North and South were separated for so long that the language changed a bit.
I can’t imagine what all she has been through. God bless her, and may she find happiness now.
she should watch a few things about dogs and how spoiled they in America and other places
I feel sad for her when she talks about pets being food. I realize that it's a completely different culture and food is a precious commodity there in N Korea. My heart aches for the people there. I cannot fathom how it would be to be forced to eat my dog Beauregarde. He is a 250 pound English Mastiff. He is definitely part of our family.
I am so sorry for the people of North Korea. ❤

@@woodedlane thank you. ❤
@@gwyn9846 you're very welcome ♥ Another good book is 'The Aquariums of Pyongyang' which talks about the lies NK people were told in order for them to return to NK after the war because many had fled to Japan.
@Erina Nagasawa roughly 55 kg (120 lbs give or take) of meat, some don't know that actually most of the weight is in the bones and internal organs you don't eat like lungs bladder and intestines which are not meat but sausage casings
You do know that a lot of Asians eat dogs and it's not because they are starving it's a cultural thing.

She's hilarious "S.Korean men and American men are domesticated" I will not soon
forget that line. 😄
Sad but accurate.
I chuckled a little bit too. But I bet her real meaning was lost in the translation. I enjoy being "domesticated.
Also me, along with millions and millions of other Americans, my pets sleep on my bed with us. Also, people in the United States spend more on their pets than anywhere else in the world. Our pets,for the most part, ate pampered.

what sad about it ? people grow animals to eat all time 🤨
Laura South I don’t eat pork either. As a matter of fact I have 2 pet pigs. And other animals being tortured and butchered doesn’t take away that raising dogs to eat them, is sad.

She seems like such a strong and excited lady, it was really pleasant to listen to her talking
She could be never imagined what life was Like outside of North Korea and now it’s much easier!!
I picked up on some pain in her eyes when she saw the pregnant woman and the babies. I have a feeling she has longed to be a mother. There is so much sadness and turmoil in the US right now that it's sometimes hard to see how good we have it. I'm thankful to have been born here, thankful for our way of living. So very thankful that I (as a human being, a career driven RN and single mom who puts her kids and indoor dog 🤣 first, have the opportunity to make my life whatever I want it to be. All it takes is hard work. I'm so lucky to have so many freedoms and options for my future. The US is far from perfect but we live in a country where we have the freedom to voice our opinions and stand up for what we believe in. It's a beautiful thing! I wish this lady nothing but the best in life. Maybe she will still be able to have a family and career some day. Now that she sees what life can be like, I'm sure that's all she will think about.
She is a marine
And in the USA having a family in the service is a sign of stability and is encouraged
Not to be rude but yes and no military doesn't encourage having a family but it's not discouraged honestly as long as you didn't marry a stripper off post for BAH no one gives a fuck.
@@mathewbrown5047 in certain roles in the military they absolutely do encourage it I’ve seen plenty of men and women turned down or passed over for promotion do to the fact that they do not have families or spouses

That Marine has a house. This is a little misleading to view this from the standpoint of a married person. Many if not most are not married and live in the barracks.
She likely doesn't know the distinction between the U.S. branches of service, nor that there is a mandated time period for enlisted to live in the barracks before they're allotted on- or off-base housing. I think the fact that soldiers have that option at all is what surprises her, especially when (for the U.S. Army) officers have no requirement to live in the barracks or even on-base. She likely had to live in the barracks for her entire eight years of service, and she states that even officers did as well.
@@sacreblam5711 The title says "daily life" and this is not the typical daily life. I was just saying the "title" is misleading in respects to the average soldier. I dont have a problem with her reaction just the title.
@@InsomniaCast I appreciate your response but I will state that the title is not misleading as there is no indicator that would cause confusion in the title. She is indeed watching (1) a military woman, and (2) her daily life. There is no set "daily life" for any one division of any military branch, nor for any average soldier. There is a set routine that remains the same across the board, to be sure, but there are (1) enlisted in the barracks, (2) enlisted in on-base housing, (3) enlisted in off-base housing - and if you want to be more specific - there are (4) enlisted in apartments, (5) enlisted in roommate situations, (6) enlisted renting a home, and so on. There is no set standard for entry into any of the military branches either; there is entry through contract, ROTC, dual programs, academies, and others, even excluding drafting. You'd have to have an incredible specificity to what demographic you're talking about, and have that knowledge as someone that is familiar with the U.S. military branches. Dimple is a Korean-based channel, interviewing primarily NK to SK defectors. I suppose what I'm saying is that there is a lingual and cultural barrier that does not account for the "average military life" you're attempting to denote, nor is the title incorrect in any form, so the title itself is not misleading.
Wow! Thanks for making this video! I just subscribed to your channel after watching it! And thanks also to Ahn Hye jung! God bless you and keep you safe always! 🙏🏼💖
She's so kind and beautiful. So sorry that they tell you we are monsters we LOVE CARE RAISE OUR KIDS TO BE PEACEFUL. I HOPE ONE DAY KOREAN PEOPLE CAN SEE HOW GOOD PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONS REALLY ARE.
The South Koreans already know what you spoke about above, but the North Koreans are part of a brainwashed society, living in the 17th Century, where the Rulers have everything, the average citizen has little to nothing, and the rulers are happy to keep it that way.
I Saw her heart breaking thru her eyes when she saw the pregnant soldier could tell she wanted children
Yeah, my heart broke for her. The sadness was so clear in her eyes. If someone desires to have a family they should be able too.
In the states we love our pets a great deal. We treat them, as children. A common saying here is we have a four legged child. My dog never leaves my side, & sleeps with my husband, & I. My grandparents generation never allowed ani.als in the house either. This has come about in the last 30-40 years. Many treat their pets as well as they treat any family member.
Bless you for excaping!!👍
@drag0nfly_girl not everyone does. We do because our dog is a seizure alert dog, & tells us. If she wasn't sleeping near him she wouldn't be able to tell us. Many people love to spoil their pets.
“Domesticated?” REALLY??? What I heard was “family oriented.” She wasn’t dissing the husband. She thought it was cool that he was centered on the family. Just wanted to clarify... 😉
Also - her Korean is CRYSTAL Clear! She should teach Korean language - she is very easy for foreigners to understand 💜💜💜
That translation was weird. Om the one hand it says domesticated but later she said "North Korean men should learn" as in she complimented American men for helping around the house.
Really puts the silly things us Americans complain about in perspective. God bless you! Your smile is contagious
I have not been a soldier, so what I say doesn't matter. But I am very glad for you that you are in a better place now. I can not imagine being on the opposite side from you. Under any circumstances, I would only have wanted to be nice to you. If you don't mind my saying, you seem so nice and well-adjusted and good. Even in the field, I would probably only have wanted to make your day nice and happy and good for you. I am so glad I was never a soldier. Thank you very much for making this video.
I have to stop watching these. They make me feel so bad for North Koreans.
"Is hair like that allowed?" 😭😭
I always love watching all the videos you guys post on Dimple, but I’d just like to make a correction about the VLOGS that were shown, the person making is a Marine not in the Army or a Soldier. A different branch we usually take offense to being called soldiers lol because we’re Marines. And she enlisted.
I thought the same thing but I think North Korea Army and military are interchangable.
She is wonderful❤ may god bless her
This video really touched my heart, I very much enjoyed her review on the difference in military lifestyles, between N. Korea and in the US.
I like the way the NK have red collar tabs.. it makes them all look like members of the general staff...

This should be shown to every American, male or female, to eat a little humble pie about the lives we take for granted on a daily basis.
She's way more grateful just watching them live life of relative leisure then the people living in such a great time and place themselves. It's sad how quickly people have become ungrateful and lost their touch of humility in the west it's unfortunate she had to go through such a bad time to have this appreciation but it would be great if she could spread her humility to the people over here.
I feel more sad about their people as I watch this series. Of course for them, it's "normal" since it's literally their lifestyle since they were born.

I just got out of the Army. We have PT in the morning. We don't wake up and put on our duty uniform and go to work. We wake up, put on our PT (physical training) uniform and get to formation by 0630. Then we train until 8 then go get a shower and then put on our duty uniform. Even when pregnant, we go to P3T, which is our pregnancy physical training. This soldier you showed getting ready, that is not typical.
We do take our kids with us, but not to work, we take them to daycare or something. I thought it was very strange that she was waking up and getting right into duty uniform. That's only done when you have staff duty or CQ. I know the soldier in the video is a Marine, but I was pretty sure they do PT too. Strange.
Good luck in the civilian world battle.
@@mathewbrown5047 Thanks, man.
@@Jalopygofar In the Army the job doesn't matter. EVERYBODY does PT in the morning unless you have some duty or injury that prevents it. The only exceptions I can think of are like SFAB guys. Maybe the Airforce is different. That's probably why everyone jokes and calls it the Chairforce.
Yes, we PT as well. But not every morning/day is the same. It just happened to be that on this particular day I didn’t have PT. If I did I wouldn’t have been able to come home and record it as I lived off base. So it’s not strange at all
@@YarielizOrtiz I figured there had to be a reason. I wanted to look for the original video but I didn't see a link to it. It is strange to me because in the Army, you don't really see that often and it was being presented like the norm by the people doing the interview in this video. But cool, you don't have to do PT every morning. Must be nice. I dont either now, cuz I'm out. Lol.
I didn't understand pretty well because a lot of translations were in broken English but nice video anyway. I was happy to hear what she had to say.
yeah some of the english was broken but you could understand it perfectly
always good to see how good you actually have it, even though some that have it the best will always complain and say they have it hard. poor lady, she was a soldier without choice.
She is soo kind and caring, I kind of wish she was my grandma so I could eat her cooking (I don't know if it tastes good or not, its the love and care you get from the experience that matters)
This channel is doing a lot of good showcasing this perspective and I hope more people see it so they realize America isn't this awful horrible place to live just because idiots like Cuomo say it is.
🙏🙏🙏 truth has been spoken
No one thinks it is better to live in North Korea than the US. The US is a top 20 country to live in and North Korea is a cartoonishly authoritarian.
@@nevetsdsa1564 no one thinks that huh? I wish I lived where you do man, big Cities like Austin Texas have a growing bout of people who seem to hate America
America is horrible in it's own way, there's problems here too. But yes, north korea is obviously worse
I felt so sad for her when she saw the U.S. Marine pregnant. You could see the sadness and loathing in her eyes of wanting a baby or even marriage. Perhaps she knew someone she would've liked to marry and start a family with. I hope she can now because it's not too late to!
She has a child now which she's talked about in other videos. She escaped North Korea a long time ago so she does have those things now but couldn't when she was in the miliary.
@@acidsupernova oh thats such good news to hear! That makes me so happy 🥺☺
You mean longing not loathing right? And I absolutely agree my heart aches for her and I'm so glad she has been able to have a child of her own
Most do not get their own room in the service. This is a little misleading.
She’s so sweet and innocent in a way...
You could see the sadness in her eyes. I bet she could write an awesome autobiography if she hasn’t already
If im honest, im from the US and I didnt know our soldiers had it that good either. Im glad they do, but I always imagined it to be much less normal and stuff
No. She's a married female marine. My parents were regular army and spent a lot of time in barracks with fellow soldiers.
When you volunteer, you give up some of your rights for the duration. There is always the underlying fact that things aren't normal, but most of the time we can live somewhat normally. Everyone is capable of living a spartan lifestyle when necessary.
When it comes to make-up, North Korean Women are pretty enough. Hye gyung Ahn is the best proof.
She's wearing makeup in the video
This was honestly sad to watch and made me realize how little we know about the outside of US.
The Korean woman in this video is very likeable. Thank you for making a video offering your perspective on Military life around the world!
