Yeonmi Park: While Time Remains
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 เม.ย. 2023
- North Korean defector Yeonmi Park joins Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas to discuss her latest book WHILE TIME REMAINS. In this uniquely sobering SITC interview, Ms. Park details her early years: foraging for plants and eating bugs to stay alive in "Socialist Paradise," her family's involvement in the black market, escaping to China and being sold into slavery, and seeking freedom in South Korea by way of the Gobi Desert. The conversation then moves to Yeonmi's time studying at Columbia University in New York City. With insight from her time spent in a dictatorship filled with indoctrination, censorship, and mob rule, Park speaks to the current American landscape.
The interview took place on March 30th, 2023 - 16 years to the day of her escape from North Korea in 2007 - at the Union League Club in New York City.

As a former refugee who escaped a communist regime. I understand her struggles, her pain, her experience. My family and I have been there and we love America. Please people don’t give up your God human rights to the government. You will regret it.
O mi my 7
I juat gave then my rights this morning nd they won't email me back
I am so happy for you and your family!
My family too escaped communism. The current globalist agenda is attempting to bring North Korea to the rest of the world via the "New World Order" or new communism aka the Stalinist regime. Americans need to wake up because it is on our doorstep.
Like she said, she read George Orwell. Sadly, we are living in a 1984, & ALDOUS HUXLEY'S BRAVE NEW WORLD, right now. Newspeak, the war in Urasia , er the Ukraine, is going well. 100's of children were incinerated, er kidnapped, in the Hawaiian fire. Have we got some meds for you to take, er forced to take. They steal 90% of the money we give them in taxes, er extorted. All the elections are fair, er rigged, because we don't use paper ballots & we're not allowed to see them all counted. Ect, ect... but shhhh! don't dare say anything less you get canceled, loose your job, have you bank account frozen, or be convicted of a crime you didn't do, and get 30 years, because we want to male an example out of you. . . So, shhhhh.
I think that Yeonmi’s book should be mandatory reading in all schools in America so people who were born in “One Nation under God” are aware of how privileged and blessed we really are. Her life-story is captivating.
If it was mandatory, it would have the opposite effect.
Corrupt muslim marxist Insane Obummer wants to fundamentally change America into a marxist state so he and his Undemocratic Party cronies can cling to power forever and enrich themselves like all corrupt satanic communist marxist dictators. He is still destroying America through his Puppet Joe.
Exactly, just come to America, get the US Citizenship and then start a Cultural Clash (against diversity and progressives),
which is basically the gateway drug into right-wing populism.
The US LIBERAL Democracy must be happy to have that cynical right-winger from North Korea.
And even Tony Montana from Scarface couldnt have done it better.
Say Hello to my Little Friend!
That might make kids learn about the reality of communism. You think the state wants that?
@@dothedewinmedepends wich party...
I have listened to her story numerous times. But still every time I listen to it I can’t help crying. What an amazing person she is. God bless you, Yeonmi! Your brave soul will give strength and courage to many of us who really love this country.
👍…Same here. (and the naive commenters/bots who keep criticizing NoKo defectors like Yeonmi for possibly embellishing their own experiences are entirely missing the point of WHY they are risking their lives by speaking out and working so hard to increase awareness about the TRUELY hellish living conditions and human rights abuses occurring every day in NK)
She's a fake. Her stories are bogus. I can't believe how some people can't see thourgh that.
I just finished her 1st bk. An easy read-she’s a talented author! So shocking all she went thro at such an early age & then more shocking at all she has accomplished after!
Waiting to read the her 2nd bk.
I said the exact same thing. I ball my eyes out every time I hear her speak
😊😊
Amazing! Survivor of North Korea, China...and Columbia University. No joke. Thanks, Ms. Park, for your testimony and your gentle-strong wisdom.
My kids told me a lot about this brave lady and I feel absolutely blessed to have stumbled into this interview. Powerful and inspiring. May she be protected by the highest power of the Lord
Did they learn it in school or are they grown? Just curious. I would love them to teach this in school.
I heard Yeonmi's story 2 years ago in an interview and it blew me away. Thank you for this update and may God continue to bless her and may her voice be heard! America, WAKE UP!
I followed her from day 1. There are other defectors I have heard on her podcast.
This is coming to America.
Was it on Tim Pool ?? Very graphic:
Not just the states but the western world
@@KeithCindyPanama Tim Pool interviewed Yeonmi Park?
This is incredible! Everyone in America needs to hear this message.
why?
@@raskolnikov1461 because of people like you x
@@tatjanaarandelovic9555 you must be 15 or something. You don’t know others and people are free not to respect clowns and pimps. So don’t twist reality
@@tatjanaarandelovic9555 Great answer!
FBI not protecting this woman is completely criminal. Defend the FBI and start a new FBI without these lefties who won't do their job.
my children and I came across her book in the library. We read it and went back to the library for more books on defectors and North Korea. My children are absolutely fascinated by it and have been learning more and more about North and South Korea and their cultures. The more you learn the more you want to learn because it’s absolutely fascinating. Hard to believe the amount of real suffering going on in so many places in the world while Americans spend so much time complaining about so many trivial things.
What an awesome parent!! Homeschool?
May your kids never be infected with the disease demented ideology of left, socialism and communism.
Thank you, Eric Metaxas for inviting courageous brave woman to speak. Thank you Yeonmi Park.
He is no more welcome in china
For all you people who think you have it bad, listen to this amazing human being. So for all who want everything for free, be grateful for living in a great country. This woman is a superhero for surviving along with her family.
The democrats are exactly like those who followed all other atheist Marxist democratic socialist in history.
Obama', Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Biden,the Clintons, Pol Pot, Hugo Chavez,the leaders of North Korea and many others are all carbon copies of each other.
Power ,control and money is the opium of the atheist Marxist democratic socialist of the world throughout history.
It's why gulag archipelago is not required reading and study in the American democrat controlled schools,it would of exposed this fact.
Its
Yes, but her main message is that the North Korean style communist agenda is coming to the US and every country in the world via the Globalist New World Order (Agenda 2025 and Agenda 2030).
Americans would be wise to heed the message of this extraordinarily brave woman. God bless her for having the courage to share her story.
After the pandemic, the border was closed so there was no food or goods coming from China, so now everyone is starving especially after the recent floods. Shame on the CCP. The DPRK can not exist without support from the CCP. The Chinese cause all this death and suffering in North Korea. If there is no CCP, then NK can become part of ROK and be free.
What she's saying about the wokeness in this country is true and disturbing. Keep spreading your message, 연미!
Now we have birds and mice in the USA in everyone's workplace. Speak Up everyone before the birds and mice prevail.
Huge respect for Ms. Park. God Bless you!
I cry every time I hear her story. Thank God she is a voice for North Korea 200 escaped out of 25 million. She is a miracle and will continue to do miracle work for the people of North Korea.
Now that the pandemic is over she is going full force to get the word out…. This is the 3rd interview in a month I have seen of hers.
I’ve been watching her videos for 2 days and PRAYING!
I’ve been seeing them too. She’s doing a great job.
She made up stories, did you see by your own eyes?😅😂
@@kongsumlau1721 so North Korea is safe and the people are healthy and happy ???
@@kongsumlau1721 Really!? And your proof is what?
So true on America being the hope for the world. As an immigrant, i can attest to that. I salute Ms. Park for her advocacy. My family, esp my father, is also fighting communism in the Philippines in our own little ways.
Thank you. Christ bless you Ms. Park
I cannot get enough of her interviews
I agree she is amazing a true inspiration I'm 59 and she is the first person that i consider my hero ! God bless Yeonmi Park.
I think we need to pay attention because of the interference with the Bidens and CCP and other communist countries... God bless this young lady and may the rest of her life be blessed.
Same here it makes me to realize how blessed and loved I was
Yeah she's hilarious
Like how do you come with this stuff
Its even more hilarious how conservatives use her to push propaganda
@@cienfuegos8155Maybe you should actually listen to what she is warning us about instead of gaslighting her message.
As long are voices like yours YP speaking out loud the world is saved..
As a man I bow to you!
🙏🔥🙏
I agree that her books should be a mandatory read. We have so much to learn from her❤
You want to dictate what people should read?
Wow! Amazing interview with a truly inspiring woman. Americans can learn so much from her. Thank you God for saving her life. She is truly a special soul.
I have listened to her tell this story a lot, but this ranks highest amongst her best interviews. I hope to meet this powerful lady when I come to America someday.
She is an extremely intellegent individual. Her tynasity is what makes people successful. In other words, she has "guts."
*tenacity
Yeonmi you are such a beautiful soul a survivor a voice against the horrific atrocities you witnessed and endured . You are a true hero and the bravest person I have ever seen in my lifetime I'm 59 and you are just the epitome of class thank you dear lady for your voice you are more admired than you will ever know . God bless you Miss Yeonmi Park !
I read her Ms Park’s first book. It is an important book to read. I highly recommended it.
Yes! More people need to read her book.
been watching these numerous times, actually im in awe with Yeonmi park and her resiliency and wisdom, we need her in this times
Please keep her safe Jesus and all of us
Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus for Yeonmi!
❤
Amen thank you Jesus Christ
Yes! Please Jesus!❤
So much of respect for this young lady after all that suffering she went for an education GOD BLESS HER
That was a truly great interview. Sobering, infuriating, and inspirational.
Great job, Eric. Thanks for bringing Yeonmi's story to us. It's moving and powerful and is a warning to Americans.
Daily Wire needs to make that movie. Jeremy has said they have been mainly doing woman-centric films bc those are the best scripts they've seen.
How is this not an ultimate important film to make right now.
Just bought Yeonmi's first book.
They should crowd fund it. I’d pay to have this movie made.
Yes, they should.
@@kurarisusa my wife and I would instantly pay into that endeavor, I hope people keep supporting the true rockstars of our time
An incredible story of courage, resilience, and hope from an intelligent young woman. This interview made me cry!
She is sending a message how America is changing politically and to be careful of the future 😊
I think the first time I heard Yeonmi’s story was on her own channel where she laid out her whole story, no interviewer, just her starting from the beginning and finishing at her present. It was horrifying. I sobbed and “what the f+€£”-ed.
Since then, every time I’ve heard her speak, I tear up with gratitude that she continues to tell her story with all the emotion, the horror, the shame, the determination, and the victory. God bless and keep her.
I read her first book. I wasn’t aware she had another book? Everyone needs to hear her story & her opinion on what’s wrong with America today. I agree with her. I’m dying to give her some powder. The lights are probably so hot. Absolutely beautiful woman inside & out. Her mother came on her TH-cam channel & she is so sweet🥰
I think she has some type of skin oil on her face to keep it hydrated. Korean skin-care is top tier & in South Korea, women love the "glass skin" look
😢 this breaks my heart and changes my whole life I will no longer be tolerated. Jesus bless this young lady and help me to get the truth out in your precious name I pray. Thank you Jesus.😭🙏🏼
Right? I’m with you. Her testimonies and witness have changed my life as well. I’m posting her interviews on Twitter.
She's incredible.. thank you for sharing your story to the world...
The intersectionality doctrine says to revel in victimhood no matter how trite.
Yeonmi Park is exceptional because even through her true adversity, she still delivers a message of hope.
Wallowing in victimhood is a luxury afforded to folks having their way paid by the state of by parents. Having to support yourself requires independent thinking and responsibility and that is dangerous to dictatorships and ideologies.
@@francoistombe
Just to add, this mentality can plague the rich as well-people who can afford to distance themselves far from reality, but have the level of narcissism to believe they must lecture down to others.
Yeonmi is one of the most inspirational women of our time! Thank you so much, Yeonmi! ❤🤍💙
Not just of OUR TIME. I'd argue of ALL TIME
Have listened to various interviews with YP. But have never seen her with so sharply displayed.
Thank you both.
Humbling... utterly speechless.
God has blessed us all by sustaining this young woman & family long enough to tell her story to the world, thank you Yeonmi Park.
So many parts of this interview were a call to action and deeply inspiring. To hear that in the midst of her struggle for true freedom, someone guided her to Christ and she said ‘yes’, and the only thing that was asked of her was to believe and have faith in Him. God covered her on that journey through the Mongolian frozen desert and He hasn’t left her since. Thank you Ms. Park for sharing your powerful testimony and warning the American public on the direction the culture of this country is headed.
I was waiting for the standing ovation. Glad she got it in the end ❤
I love her honesty! She is such an amazing person and her message is so important! I’m so glad she’s speaking up! I have listened to several interviews and just got her book and can’t get enough!
My God. It is so hard to even begin to imagine this. It is more than heartbreaking, it is soul destroying. One cannot help but respect(that diesnt express it really) this amazing woman.
Her appearance on Joe Rohan’s podcast is the best I’ve ever heard. Give it a listen.
She has the qualities of the Saints. Thank you Yeonmi ❤️❤️✝️✝️
So much thanks to Yeonmi for speaking to so many Americans about the terrible changes, even in our traditional universities.
And bless the audiences who listen and learn!
Before they publicly execute you in NK, they fill your mouth with rocks so that you can not cry out in protest before you die. Your own family is forced to watch your execution.
i saw her first short story on tik tok and had to find the full one, which i sat thru .... watched ..... cried ..... and watched more and cried more, she survived definitely to tell her story, world as a whole needs to wake up and take note of the message she is telling
Appreciate SITC. Thanks for each of these episodes.
I shared this crucial interview. Could the USA be headed towards anything resembling China or North Korea? Listen to her experience at Columbia University and her dire warning to Americans. Please share this video so it goes viral! 🙏
You are amazing Yeonmi, please keep talking about the atrocities that exist in N.K. You did a very good job conducting this interview.
Thank you so so much. This was fascinating. This young woman is a true hero!!
Amazing woman her books are a must read
Wowowow thank you for making this available to us for FREE sir. This was incredible. Would love to be in person for an event like this xxx
This video is extremely interesting. Yeonmi Park is an incredible person. She is a true survivor. You are absolutely correct Mr. Metaxas, the books should be mandatory for all school students to read. It should be a part of their curriculum. Thank you for sharing. You are a wonderful host. 😊😊
Thank you so much!!!!! 🙏🏼👏👏🥰✝️👏👏 I loved your candor and grace in speaking about your experiences with darkness and deception! Thank you for your willingness to speak truth and walk in the light; influencing others to wake up and join you in understanding things “behind the curtain” and influence those we can. God help us!!
I salute you Yeonmi for pressing the word of your testimony and story of evils committed in north Korea (even when you losing voice🙌🤍) and also trying to press alarm on the dangers of woke ideologies. Scary. I love listening to your interviews and can't wait to get your book.❤ God bless you. You are truly living out God's plan for your life.
Yeon Mi is so brave, so intelligent, so courageous, so kind, so articulate, so funny, so sweet… she is so incredibly blessed! What a true example to all of us! May God bless her and keep her always!
This Woman is a Warrior! She is amazing!
Ive been following yeonmi for a while now, people need too listen too her message and heed the warnings of north korea.
The unimaginable evil that exists in this 🌎 😢Thank you so much for your insight, it was inspiring and sad at the same. Hopefully us men can rid this world of these dictators in our lifetime
Or women
Unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on it since most people aren't even aware of what's happening. They are totally asleep and can't see the very strong globalist communist New World Order agenda going on throughout the world right now including in America, one example is Agenda 2025 and Agenda 2030. People are very easily mislead and fooled.
Excellent interview! One of your best, Eric!
Immediately I ordered her book. Insightful interview indeed.
I am so moved as I listened to her. And I salute you! God has a special purpose for your life sister.
As a Chicago native, I am ashamed of what you went through. I too am fed up & looking to leave my city, but where can I run? I am heartened by your message that NOW is the time to push back. God bless you.
I'm so glad I came across this. Thank you for sharing your story ❤
I've heard before.she is special and a survivor.we should not complsin.about anything.
May Ms. Park and her family stay safe always ❤
As a South Korean conservative 1:22:02 , I approved her message. " it's pushback time " in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
She is very intelligent no doubt. Someone who is not born American and able to speak English fluently? But what is amazing is her concepts and understanding of things, of issues concerning about everything about life. Incredible mind, almost a genius. She should be in the politic to shame those who are in power but cannot see what injustices is
Those in charge are in on it! They want to bring North Korea to the rest of the world. Most people are totally asleep and can't see the very strong globalist communist New World Order agenda going on throughout the world right now including in America, for example Agenda 2025 and Agenda 2030. People are very easily mislead and fooled.
She is an amazing young woman who has endured such hell in North Korea ! May God bless and protect her always and forever !
A brave survivor's story scary what she endured God bless her
This is a must watch, the whole world should see this. And the ones who really should is those in government.
Amazing! Thanks for interviewing Yeonmi Park. What a fantastic and amazing person.
What an inspiration. She is a remarkable survivor. How dare we let this country, the best country the world go down this horrible road. I admire her bravery and her gratitude to be in THIS country, but she hasn't stopped there, she is trying to make us understand that what she went through IS happening here. We ignore her at our own peril. God bless and protect her.
You got it! She is warning the world, but unfortunately I think it went over most people's heads. They just don't get the evil that's going on around us at this very moment. 😪
Thank you for covering this
Phenomenal …great interview! Thank you for this wisdom
You are an amazing brave resilient human being. May God Bless you!!🥰
I absolutely love Yeonmi ❤️ she's a true American hero & I'm so proud she is part of my country ❤️ ♥️
Powerful story!!
There must, must, must be a film made on her life experience. A quality biopic. Please, someone out there with the ability and funds make this happen.
Unfortunately, she’s met with movie producers and they wanted to put in the film how she was grateful for China for “rescuing” her. She has talked about it in other interviews. So sad.
@@SunshineSmiles189 I remember that- incredibly predictable unfortunately.
@@SunshineSmiles189 I’d be inclined to believe that. Thanks for the comment.
@@SunshineSmiles189 Its actually in this interview if any of you watched it
"THEY", those who control entertainment and media, will NOT make her story into a movie because they are also the very people who want to bring North Korean style communism to the world via the Globalist New World Order agenda called Agenda 2025 and Agenda 2030.
What a brave woman, God bless and protect her for very long time….😊🙏🙏❤️
Hard not to cry.
Yeonmi has a warrior spirit. Thank you Yeonmi for your perseverance and commitment to humanity.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for posting the Socrates in the City discussions
What a brilliant and powerful young speaker!
You know that it's serious when Eric stops cracking jokes.... What a story, what a courageous woman! May God bless her!
As Cuban I understand 💯 every word she says, propaganda , indoctrination, lack of freedom, etc. The only difference between Cuba and North Korea is the weather, Cuba is a Tropical country, at least in summer time we have mangoes and also we are an island, but don’t forget that we can go to prison for eating lobster 🦞 or beef 🥩. ( My favorite food now 😊).
I am blessed to find your TH-cam channel
Brilliant interview. She's a special refugee. Such poise.
Incredible interview! 🙏🏼
Can't believe that about Columbia University...my goodness!!
So sorry about the shaming by the missionary 😢
Without me noticing,my tears starts to drop in my eyes while watching this video and listening to her,what a tragic this is ...I'm so happy for her being able to survive through all that,I can't even imagine being in her shoes and I'm a men,I don't know what to say, I'm just so happy for her and sad at the same time because of what she has gone through and I hope that has the perfect life right now!
Very well spoken , great interview !
I'm very glad Yenomi managed to get away from NK and be able to expose/ educate us all about it there
She's totally amazing
Amazing story! God bless you my dear Sister in The Lord!
Great interview
I am so grateful to Yeonmi Park and to people still willing to speak the truth and I pray for all the voices willing to to keep speaking out 🥰 May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you for your courage to speak out and tell the truth ❤️🙏🏼 and I pray Americans wake up ( not “ woke )
