Congrats to Ji Seong-ho for getting the credit he deserves at State of the Union. Seong-ho runs NAUH, which is a South Korea-based nonprofit organization that provide assistance to North Korean defectors. Right now, they are so under-resourced that they didn't even know how to set up a simple donation page in English, which is why we had to step in.

What????! He was just used to push a war agenda. Prepare to move Seoul's population to the South if you enjoyed that.
I knew he looked familiar!!!!
I hope people can stay non-political about this. I've found your videos to be very unbiased and is why I like it. If someone in an interview has something political to say, that's different, as long as you didn't guide them there. Please keep up the good work.
I cried when I saw him on tv. I knew he looked familiar... I had seen this video when it came out. 😭
G erman C arrasco I'm living in Seoul and I heard Trump's speech. It was very impressive and excellent delivery. We have to think this issue apart from politics. Just think what is the substance..!
The guy having his leg amputated w/out anesthesia is a living miracle to survive. That is cruelest and most traumatizing thing I have heard someone having to go through. How can they operate on something by just sawing off a body part like cutting vegetables?! Thank you for sharing and letting them speak their experiences. It is terrible to hear how so many people in North Korea suffer from famine, yet in other countries a lot of food go to waste.
Being a doctor myself I can only imagine they did not have the tools nor the medicine to operate properly. You cant locally anaesthecise such a huge area because the accumulated dosage needed for such a long operation would be fatal, so only a full anaestethic would be a viable option, but that requires a respirator which they probably didnt have. They probably only had a manual bonesaw, no electric tools we use nowadays and even with proper tools operating on a legbone is physically demanding. Because of the lack of tools the probably had to cut off the hand, because operating on the fingers would require specialised, small tools and expertise in handsurgery they probably did not have. I can only make a guess, of course, but the decision the surgeon had to make was either let the child die to his severe injuries, or perform an operation under horrible conditions without any ressources we take for granted in modern operating theaters. It must have been horrible for everyone involved, but it was either that or certain death for the child.
Klaus Mustermann oh wow I can’t imagine even being within earshot
The leg amputation made me think of the Civil War. He is one amazing man to survive through all that.
Keenan TV At least there was ether during the Civil War. Before that you’d be dosed with liquor, laudanum or both. The “good old days” weren’t so great.
Klaus Mustermann It’s truly amazing that he didn’t die of blood loss. I suppose their blood banks must be as deficient as their anesthesiologists.
"But now, whenever I think about her, I feel sorry because she might have lived if I'd given her some of my rice cake." T_T proof that traumatic moments like that stick with you forever
Survivor's guilt
In the previous interview, one of the defectors also said he still remember seeing one of the girls searching food with him died in front of his eyes and he still felt guilty over it. 😭😭😭
Yes, I would feel sorry too if I were him, but remember that he was starving too
This might sounds cruel but.. she might better be off dead at that time than suffering both mentally and physically for extended period
I agree, what evil, what would it had been for her another 3 or 5 years of the same, it breaks my heart to hear of such suffering of poor people let alone a child, I believe in the Almighty Father Yahweh/Jehovah and his son Yahshua/Jesus who came and died for mankind, someday there will be a resurrection and this young child will come back to life, but this time there will be no evil people no evil rulers, we will live in peace righteousness and joy with Holy Spirit under the rule of a gentle kind King the Son of God Himself.
I'm really glad that more North Korean defectors are speaking up about what they've went through in North Korea. It's truly devastating to hear about what these men went through and to know that it is still going on today is almost like a wake up call. I hope that in our lifetime, we get to see the Kim dynasty overthrown and possibly be able to reunite the Koreas. It'll take a while, but it's not impossible! Thank you guys for taking the time to make this video, especially the defectors.
It's truly heartbreaking. It's insanity the confluence of Political interests that keep that regime going for so long. I don't want to get political, but China will never allow the union of both Koreas, as it will mean a NATO member and a US ally right on their border. North Korea will probably have to remain as a buffer Nation between them.
lovelylight nuke them or whatever
n00bie and this is why no one likes America
Mystic Jnigo im not american. But the fact that you thought i was, shows how the american stereotype is pretty recognizable
vrcdragan We have more beggars, yet we have more people then North Korea . Correct, pretty sure the percentage on poverty is higher in North Korea then in the U.S.
all of them are so soft spoken and polite. it's really sad to think about what they went through, ugh.
'the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members' -Mahatma Gandhi
marxist leftist communist ideology CREATES the most needy and the most vulnerable members - those who think that creating bigger and bigger government to "help the poor" are the most deluded fools and should live in north korea if they think expanding government run WELFARE is the answer - because the most government controls and redistributes, the poorer everyone eventually becomes. And in order to continue holding onto power all welfare/commie governments become totalitarian tyrannies like Venezuela, North korea, Soviet Union, Cuba etc
RequiemFor America however there are countries that have free education and healthcare but are still very successful (like Finland and Norway), it just has to be done right
Wide Awake who say norway and finland are less successful. In fact their income per capita are much higher than USA
RequiemFor America - WTF. Most every European Countries has some form of welfare or another, a big one is universal healthcare. We are spending MORE MONEY maintaining the our shitty system that BANKRUPTS people here US, tens of thousands of people DIE because they lack healthcare. You think that's fucking okay? Those other Developed countries who have Universal Healthcare have HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE and LONGER AVERAGE LIFESPANS than here in the US. Loads of people are just trying to get a fucking education that they need to have in order to have any sort of career achievement are being DESTROYED by incredible amounts of debt, which in some cases they are arrested for defaulting on. EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE A FUCKING BUSINESS, IT SHOULD BE A HUMAN RIGHT. THE SAME WITH HEALTHCARE. Scandinavian countries have some of the best QUALITY OF LIFE scores IN THE WORLD and they implement the same policies you hate so much. The US is the STRONGEST AND MOST WEALTHY ECONOMY IN THE WORLD yet 50% of that wealth is owned by the richest members of society, and the US government spends 1 TRILLION dollars every year on overseas military spending, maybe if we toned that stupid shit down because I dunno WE'RE ACTIVELY MAKING THE WORLD LESS PEACEFUL creating terrorists by destabilizing the middle east so we can feed them to our war machine, we could afford to actually INVEST IN THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR and make the economy and people's lives so much better, is that so fucking bad? Yeah it is INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL to the economy because if people aren't living paycheck to paycheck THEY HAVE MORE FUCKING MONEY TO SPEND ON PRODUCTS AND IT STRENGTHENS THE ECONOMY, If you're living paycheck to paycheck you can't afford to buy much on the side. Get your fucking head out of your ass, you are literally advocating for people dying and having a worse life. You are advocating for a society that has a worse fucking economy. You are advocating for a society that only benefits the rich and wealthiest. NOTHING IN THIS IDEOLOGY IS MARXIST, MARXISM ADVOCATES FOR REDISTRIBUTION OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION TO THE WORKING CLASS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DICTATORSHIP OF THE WORKING CLASS I am still advocating for Capitalism, I think it's a better system but the system of extensively unregulated capitalism we have now is choking the entire country and making everyone more poor. In what fucking world is that a good thing?
you're delusional
This is so fucking sad wtf I feel so bad for that guy, I would've just let myself die. He is so strong I can't even imagine
Jessica Marie maybe if you were raised there you wouldn't let yourself die and have a will to live. But yes for people who were raised in countries like this I imagine they would be a bit weaker and let themselves die. I feel bad since I we might be weaker than them and probably go insane.
Jessica Marie dont feel bad for him this video is just an example on how easy is to manipulate people with dumb propaganda.
vrcdragan
Mhm, I see that you have no idea what you're actually talking about.
Tell me, are you drunk?
You don't seem to be from any english-speaking country, since your comments are pretty much gibberish.
Mary or something - I agree
vrcdragan
Is dumbass your favourite word, because you can't explain your points and prefer to go off on people on the Internet, calling them ignorant while being a hopeless ignorant yourself?
So narcissistic, I truly pity you.
Get off TH-cam, smell some flowers and get professional help - you really need it.
Your anger issues make people laugh more than anything.
oh my god... the story about how that man lost his hand and leg literally made me feel sick. it's horrifying that something like that could happen to a person, let alone a 14 year old child. ;-;
vrcdragan Speaking from the one that can't spell "naive"
vrcdragan wtf is wrong with you. You've been commenting that on every comment. You're a disgrace
+Emma Douglas we need to report this loser before he trolls some more.
Just did it.
Trinh Nguyen I did👌🏻
Every single video you released are so informative and eye opening. It hurts to see how much pain these people has to go through living in that secretive country.
The story of the defector who had to go through so much pain including having his leg and hand amputated without anesthesia makes me realize how little some people cared about others in that country.
This is the natural outcome of marxism and communism.
Explore the wonders that's why i always looking forward to this channel for any content abt north korea. Asian boss is the most genuine one. Other outlet like bbc, cnn, journey something only pursue NK story for sensational value,
RequiemFor America not really. dictatorships come in many guises.
RequiemFor America no its not you brainwashed moron.
Dictatorships may come in many guises but freedom and free markets are the #1 solution.
few kilometers only a few kilometers away there are those neighbors suffering under that piggy dictator. it's so sad that i cannot do anything but donating some money.
commenting from Seoul, S.Korea
아기고양야옹 ...
What about S.KOREA ? Is it not a bit odd that they would not assist these few detectors ? Just hard to believe this...
Paul Drien some people in S.Korea believe North Korean defectors are all spies and they're gonna destroy the southern society. personally i think that opinion is thinkable because we've been in a serious war and politicians have been talking North Korea as a enemy in last 50 years. so the people's thoughts haven't changed a lot....its a shame that we're not helping our neighbors.
the Thief Sean 지금 저분이 물어보신거는 우리 주변의 탈북자분들에 대해 물어본 것이에요...우리 사회가 북에서 왔다고 하면 색안경부터 끼고 보는 행태에 대해 이야기한 겁니다
아기고양야옹 you south koreans are working very hard for your masters american capitalists.
I'm curious as to if South Koreans even want reunification ? Do you know what people in general think about this in korea?
I'm glad more defectors are speaking about their experiences living there. I hope more people can learn about real life in North Korea
My mom told me similar stories near the end of the soviet union for people in siberia. They had working camps and there was a huge hunger as well. She told me she found old bread that went bad and had to wash and eat it. Also how whole families would commit suicide because of the hunger.
Daniel thats so sad t.t
Yeah that's exactly what i was thinking during the vidéo. North Korea is a giant Gulag
Daniel famine happened becouse of capitalism. In 1988 only 1% of people in soviet union lived in poverty. In 1993 almost 50% of people lived in poverty becouse of capitalist reforms!
Daniel dont blame commumism for that. Blame gorbachev the traitor who killed thousands of people with his capitalist reforms.
Soviet union was stagnant and going bankrupt
Best chanel on youtube just let people tell their stories and we all come out with more knowledge. Wish more news channels did this style of reporting. This is real reporting keep up the good work love your channel.
These North Korea interviews are incredibly eye opening and moving, maybe not always in the most positive way. I feel so helpless listening to these stories. I only wish I could help every single one of them.
Dude, I've seen you on pretty much every comment on here. Strop trolling the comments if you're just going to attack and insult people.
I want to help them,but I don't what should I do
hey i just want to say i sincerely respect what you are doing out there in Korea. I love the mini series you are doing on North Koreans. Support, respect, and all love for your efforts! -From one Korean to another.
Great job Asian Boss, my heart is aching and wish and pray the people of Korean get rid of these traitors soon and have a peaceful and healthy life.
Lord... I am crying hearing the story about the amputed leg. The world has to watch your videos...

NAUH is a South Korea-based nonprofit organization that provide assistance to North Korean defectors. Right now, they are so under-resourced that they didn't even know how to set up a simple donation page in English, which is why we had to step in. Until now, we've been working our asses off to bring you the most authentic insight into the latest news and stories from Asia without asking for anything in return. This is the first time we are asking you to take action & make a difference.
Asian Boss Applause for these people who kept fighting for a better life and to the people who help them with assistance. The more people willing to help the more people will be free.
Asian Boss ...
Please, just tell me how about S.KOREA ?? Are they not giving any help to this precious people who luckily escaped ?? I a. A bit confused here...How is this possible if it is ??
If understood correctly he is now there right ? Or even China...I know that neither China, neither S.Korea would let him go hungry...
Would appreciate some clarification....My heart is aching for N.Korea nation...
We were born and lived under communism regime until 1985...when came locally to USA...We made this change for our two teenager sons ,s future...
Never in our life we were treated like this back in Europe...
To me N.Korea is not communist but tyranny...unbelievable...
BY ALL MEANS FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS CRUEL MAN BE REMOVED...
BUT PLEASE...NEVER TO HARM THESE ALREADY SUPPRESSED NATION...THEY HAVE TO STAY ALIVE...
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO REMOVE HIM...WITHOUT WAR...TO SEE THEM DIE...
O.M.G...HOPE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO THEM...
Explore the wonders
you guys are going to suffer more when god comes back to kill.
With all due respect, what are you talking about? China sends N. Korean defectors back, and China is and has been the financial bulwark that's allowed N. Korea to survive financially for the past few decades. China wouldn't let them go hungry? I have nothing against the Chinese, and I understand their motivations, but this comment is laughable. China sends defectors back to N. Korea.
S. Korea has had at one point a "Sunshine Policy." Massive amounts of aid was given to N. Korea. The USA at one point also gave incredible amounts of aid. Did that go to the poor who need it most? What do you think? It's the same in African countries ruled by despots too. The Aid simply makes it way to the powerful anyway.
S. Korea also gives N. Koreans free education, monthly allowance, and offers them other social programs to help them get integrated into S. Korean society. There are, in fact, even popular TV shows centered completely around N. Koreans giving their point of view. TH-cam 이제 만나러 갑니다 or 모란봉 클럽.
I mean no disrespect, but for someone writing so passionately, perhaps you should read up on the topic more before. This is a very difficult political and social situation that you seem to be taking too lightly just shouting "what is S. Korea doing?" "what is China doing?"
Asian Boss crowd rise is charging really high for transaction fees. Around 10%? Is there no other better alternatives?
I'll never understand how someone like Kim Jung Un can live fat and pretty when his people are starving and living worse than dogs... these people deserve so much better than that
Kim Jong Un wasn't a president at the time. People say there was a food crisis and political instability before kimJonUn came to power. So North Korea sligthly better at this age. As I say just slightly.
the people intervieved starved during the famine, the famine is long over, they even say in the video that this all hapened during the years of the famine. Today it's much better, atleast people aren't starving to death.
I wouldn’t describe his fat ass as “pretty” lol
He’ is so evil!
@@user-ge4uk9ui8y I wouldn’t call it “much better”. Sure there’s no famine, but the majority of people there are still living in total poverty, are worked like dogs for basically slave labor and live off of mostly government supplied rice (only getting meat on special occasions). And on top of that they have no freedom, no democracy and no contact with the outside world. Sounds like hell to me.
At 8:14 I noticed that the North Korean guy is pretty short compared to the south guy. I think it's because of malnutrition.
I am happy for them that they survived😊
However there are millions of innocent people still suffering in North Korea.
Nah. Koreans are short in general. The other guy is half korean.
I don't know any research study anyway, which says malnutrition results in shortness. It's pretty much in the dna.
Are you serious... Of course malnutrition in children results to shortness. Why do you think people are growing taller with each generation ?
로빈 Malnutrition does result in being short,.. this is pretty basic information. There's some vital factors that play into whether or not you reach your potential height ; if you are neglected as a child you will have a growth deficiency and become short , or if you are malnourished from you are a child. Of course some nations are just shorter, but North Koreans could become taller if they were able to get the same food as South Koreans; I mean South Koreans are very tall these days right? This is over many years, because their resources became better.
로빈 진짜 빡대가리냐.. 극도로굶으면 당연히 키 안큼.. 상식인데 요즘 우리나라가 너무 잘살아서 이런 상식도 없는시댄가보다.
You don't know what you have, until you heard or know of other people that don't. To awake each day with food, shelter, clothing is a blessing. To possess money without greed to share and help is giving love unselfishly.
Having to work without pay is called slavery in any other part of the world.. It's really time to set the people of North Korea free.
people who visit north korea dont realize theyre helping fund north koreas regime and supporting this kinda shit tht happens there
peter hong I am actually shocked that some actually want to visit North Korea. There are so many great countries to go to but yet some choose to visit that hell hole.
You're both very close-minded.
They want to boast going to a place that's notorious for being dangerous. Look at that Warmbier kid. Got his ass whooped.
Any sane person would cross of N Korea off their bucket list.
I'd only go to north Korea of it involved invading them
I am fucking South Korean you douchebag. I know what it's like since we get educated on our Northern counterparts in our schools.
And guess what: South Koreans are banned from North Korea unless you're a representative from the government.
Also, you don't NEED to go there to know the horror of the average citizens. The defectors tell us more than enough.
i would love to see an episode on what life is like for them now in south korea. would be really interesting to see if they have jobs, reunited with their families (?), types of music they listen to, etc. please do it!
This is so sad. Everyone of the North Korean defectors I've heard from these videos are so amazing. Their stories are so inspiring to me. North Korea is a truly horrific place and I want to help as much as I can and I hope that one day North Koreans can be freed from the hell they were born into.
books out for hoseok ...
But no one can get help because they never get it there...so not possible...
With God willing that ....needs to be taken out will not elaborate, but there are ma,y ways...
To save those lives...Pray for them...
I feel the same way but The dictator have put so much more money into tightening the borders so it’s almost impossible to defect nowadays. I feel so sad for all the little children who have no choice but to grow up in this horrible place. We can donate but how are they going to get it to them. There’s no way really so it’s almost like they’re doomed
I have no words. These people are incredible humans. God Bless them and all of the North Koreans in the countryside who are suffering with no voice. These people are their voice.
Anyone else crying right now?
Thank you AsianBoss for bringing us these videos and educating us on what was and is still happening in North Korea.
I think to myself why don't the people just rise up and take the country back! But then I realize not only do they not have weapons but there famished as well. Hard to fight when you're starving to death. This place is one of the worst human rights violations in the world and something's got to be done about it. Very tragic situation. The Kim Dynasty is a bunch of scumbags!
Alex2614 I hope one day they vote in a different leader. Kim jon un's party is starting to lose votes though, so that's good
Jack Hagan there's no other party. The Kims are gods
In a country like North Korea, there is no voting system. Kim Jong Un's family have been in power since the "end" of the Korean war. North Koreans are supposed to think of the family as gods and royalty and can not speak out. Think of this system as something similar but worse than a royal government system.
Alex2614 ...
There has to be a better way to remove this CRUEL inhuman...
But do not wish to hear that USA would risk to kill innocents already suffering so much...
That would be condemnable to do it...
Somehow feel judgemental about S.KOREA...they know a lot, and they should have take over the north long time ago....
But they complain to USA for years...wanting that USA gets involved ?? NOT FAIR...
This issue itself is quite complex. It is extremely dangerous to start a war with North Korea. Even if their weapons and military are weak, they still have nuclear weapons which endanger the surrounding countries. Yes, I am aware that many other countries (like the USA), have nuclear weapons as well, however, the USA does not want to use nuclear weapons because they do not want a repeat of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII - no one wants a repeat of that. Unfortunately, with Trump in power of the USA, we might actually have a Korean War II and quite possibly a WWIII. South Korea does not want to start a war with the north matter how much they want to help the powerless citizens. We all want to help but there's no right way to do it
Donated. Amazing job Asian boss for helping these people and making a difference.
Seriously something needs to be done about North Korea
If North Korea gets attacked China will respond
I heard one interview of a man who said that he has problems to work in South Korea because people don't want to to be served by this man. In my eyes North and South Koreans are the same Koreans. It's not their fault that the one of them were born in North and the other were lucky to be born in South. if you were born in South then it's not because you deserved it somehow , it's just because you were lucky to be born not in North Korea . There are many places that are hell for many people, like Myanmar for Rohingyas, North Korea for Koreans, Muslims in India etc . I see myself also lucky because I wasn't born in hell. I wish you all the luck. And I really hope that you will continue live in peace.
Human Being what the heck is Muslims in India supposed to mean..do not even compare that with what these people are going through in North Korea..
Muslim in India lives the same life as other religion people live. Just speak about yourself.
thank you so much for continuing to do these videos about north koreans. by letting them tell their stories you're really helping to give human faces to north korean citizens.
Please support them! A donation or even just sharing the video can really make a difference
my heart is breaking.... much love goes out to these courageous people. 내 마음이 끊어지고 있습니다 .... 많은 사랑이 용감한 사람들에게 나옵니다.
i was actually crying listening to their stories, it was so heartbreaking
And people still go on vacation to North Korea cause it's so "cool" and "unique", giving the leaders all their money.
Koreans are not allowed to go to North Korea, only foreigners can go on tour. Please read and educate yourself.
Dan L Um he said “people” not “South Koreans”
@Only Solo it's time we start using our brains. Re-read.
@Only Solo the time is near, pay attention
Exactly !
성호형 법대 동기 진우에요. 같은 수업도 듣고 삼겹살도 먹고 그랬는데 ㅋㅋ 꽤 오랫동안 인권단체 활동을 하셨네요.
늘 사람들 모으고 바쁘게 다니셔서 뭐하시나 궁금했는데..
그리고 항상 다리를 절고 다니셔서 늘 궁금했는데 실례가 될까봐 안물어봤었어요. 그런데 아예 다리가 잘려서 없으셨다니.. 의족인줄은 상상도 못했습니다.
좋은일 하시고 시간 될때 봉사활동이라도 도울일 있으면 좋겠어요. 저도 10년 넘게 엠네스티 인터네셔널 정기 후원하고 있거든요.
인주현 물어보는게 이상한거죠; 하기사 한국은 그런 엽기적인 사람들이 많을수도 있겠다.
gwajadanji 한국이 남의 나이나 수입같은걸로 오지랖떨고 그런게 심한건 저도 인정합니다만 한국에서만 저런거에 대해 무례하게 질문할 거라는 발상은 도대체 어디서 나오는건지요? 조국이 그렇게도 싫으신가..? 아님 해외를 안나가보신건가..; 질문자체가 무례한건 팩트지만 한국인 중에만 무례한 사람이 많을거라는건 편견입니다. 외국에도 이런거보면 what happened to yo leg? 오히려 이런식으로 직설적으로 걍 물어보는 애들이 얼마나 널렸는데;; 조롱하는 애들도 한국보다 더 많으면 많았지 덜하지 않고요. 외국만큼이나 혹은 더욱 사려깊은 사람들 한국에 엄청 많습니다. 무조건 삐딱하게만 보지 말고 생각 좀 해보시면 좋겠네요
Asian Boss.. this video made me cry so hard.. thank you for bringing awareness to us..for the videos that u post..God bless you and your channel
I normally don't donate to any kind of online fund raising but this is totally worth it! Blessings for the future and I hope lots more donations will follow!
Thank you so very much for this video, which allows me to connect to other people's struggles and stories.
thank you for sharing your stories... so grateful to see you on Asian Boss
Seeing this wrenches my heart, but I'm glad this channel exists. Looking forward to many more videos :)
I'm literally crying. Dude, love your vids
My heart aches for the North Korean people that have suffered these atrocities and the millions that still ARE suffering as we speak. I'm so sorry that you're all going thru this. Steve....again, thank you for another touching piece! I appreciate a that you do to help people all around the world!
"but when u want to live so badly.. you get up."💔
The human atrocities that have been committed and will be committed because never learn from them. I thank these men for sharing.
I want to see the performance. Any chance of it being online?
Rainbow SniggleFritz same just seeing a bit of it made me tear up
Right?
A good friend of mine is a history teacher. We watch your videos together and he incorporates some of these stories into his lessons on North Korea to spread awareness. This is important work you're doing. Keep it up.
I just wanted to thank Asian Boss for getting these people's stories. We need more of this happening in the world so we can see each other for the humans that we are.
Steve you need an award. This whole channel does
I've seen many Asian Boss videos. Though I enjoyed most of them, this is the best video. Good work, man.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Very interesting video, thank for making it and the people in it for being so strong akd wanting to share their stories.
I love the work you good people r doing, would love to see more like y'all!
Thanks for sharing their stories! ✌🏾👍🏾
Its like i got a teary-eyed watching these people sharing of what they have been through in their own country...
I really appreciate the courage shown by those North Korean defectors...
They have so much passion to live life to fullest 👏👏👏even after such horrible experiences...
Incredibly important video. Thank you 🙏🥰❤
Keep up the good work Asian Boss! It's important that stories coming directly from defectors are spread throughout the world.
Thank you for doing these videos.
Asian Boss has done it again with another quality interview. I knew life in DPRK was hard, but to hear such visceral first person accounts of life there is truly eye opening. I wish for only the best for NAUH. Truly, truly inspiring people.
Thanks for that,I really like your work
Wow, this video brought tears to my eyes. More awareness of this issue is needed.
Wow such touching stories. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I will support them✨
What a powerful video... The defectors are so brave for reenacting their trauma like that, too...
This video is amazing. Thankyou
Hey Steve, thanks for all you and the Asian Boss team are doing to raise awareness about the HR violations and what happens in the DPRK. Im definitely going to make a donation towards NAUH to help this underground railroad to freedom. However i have a very selfish personal request. Is there a way your team can film their play so that we can appreciate the hard work exhibited in the rehearsal? Thanks
I hope these defectors keep telling their stories. They're important and they need to be heard.
This is an incredible series. Please don't stop
I'm glad this video was made, as I'm glad these people made it.
God.. I just want to hug him, Mr. Ji... what a life, what hardship he went through......... Hope he does find some good things in Korea here, and we do have better future together as one Korea.
Gosh, what a brave man. There are no words.
this channel should have more subscribers! very informative and eye opening! underrated channel?
Hello, Dear Ones--
I really want to thank you for opening up the world to the rest of the nations by sharing people's life stories and experiences. It has meant so much to me to become increasingly informed.
I'm always astonished at "man's inhumanity toward man"---and also, deeply touched by man's will to survive, and the goodness reflected in so much of humanity.
Like Kai, I am also Japanese/German, born almost 67 yrs ago after the 2nd world war. I was born in Canada--my Japanese father died in a freak accident, and the caucasian side were unaccepting of me. I ended up in foster care- so, I too have a story.
It makes me feel less alone to be able to go online and hear how people persevered.
You are doing a valuable and good thing to share their stories. Also- it takes courage on your part because the truth is seldom received well. I know that you pay a price for your honesty.
I love the way that you work toward increasing understanding and empathy between the Asian nations.
Keep up this very important work--and may God bless and protect you.
I stand with you!!!!! Denise
Is it weird that I have seen every single video about North Korea on this channel?
And that it’s always influenced me so much every time?
I really enjoy watching these types of videos.. gives us insight about north korea.
These videos are really well done. Subbed! Good job Asian Boss!
This is touching beyond words.
Oh my god... seeing the act when his sister died, I started crying...
I have so much respect for these brave men and women! Xoxoxo
You guys are the best. Don't let them tell you otherwise!
This video has made me more humbled and grateful of what I have now.
Thanks to our Asian Boss family for sharing this story to us all.
In love these videos I live to listen to their stories so interesting
Asian Boss - you're a big part of spreading the awareness about North Korea. Thank you.
These people stories have taught me to be grateful to have food to eat and great for everything I have. Thank you God.
Hearing that story of the guy who got amputated just broke my heart. 💔 Since I don’t have much to give, I’ll also pray for these people. 💕
That's guy's operation sounds like a true nightmare. His will to survive is amazing.
Thank you for inspiring me. I won't ever take life for granted.
This was really helpful for me because I am doing a Global perspective project on North Korean on Human rights. It's also good to show people the awareness of what North Korean children are going through. Thank You Asian Boss
This actually nearly made me cry this is so sad, the world needs to be told this no matter how gruesome and I’m so happy that people are speaking up about it...
Shared. Thank you so much for this series. I never knew what kind of world N. Korea was other than "it's a bad place." As a nurse and as a person, you have made me realize so much and I only hope that this series can open the eyes of others that are so quick to attack an entire country based off of the recklessness of their "dear leader."
I feel so sad to hear all those children starving :'(
How can we get China to stop sending these guys back north?
e luquette Thats never happening. China looks out for itself and in order to get on North Korea’s good side, they appease North Korea by sending North Koreans back
But if that's the case, all the North Korean defectors will stay in China while China still has a lot of citizens in porverty to take care of.
Embargo all Chinese products.
if US military leave South Korea,everything will be ok.
The fact that China agrees to send these guys back is actually these guys' ONLY HOPE.
If China didn't make such a deal with NK, the guard on the line between the to countries would be just as tough as the one with South Korea. That would make the northern passage completely impossible.
Thank you so much Asian Boss for making really meaningful videos. I hope the current situation improves better in N Korea someday. What the government is doing is just horrible
Thank you Asian Boss that you treat this serious issue. This desperate truth has to be spreaded out over the world.
서동엽 yes . Agree With u but we MUST to spread this situation of north korean defectors so many ppl will know it and north koreans will have many support and love
This is shocking and tragic content, well worth to be seen. Thank you asian boss
I asked for more information like this I think America is interested in what is going on in that part of the world many different aspects keep it up and thank you
