That one got me too. They’re only allowed to celebrate anniversaries of their fat pig leader in NK. Former President from China chairman Mao was riddled with venereal disease. He routinely picked out 16 year old ‘secretaries’ who were told it was an honor to have the disease passed to them.
Important note: this will only be a positive force in the world if you ACT with compassion to others, like the people who gave those presents did. There are lots and lots of people who instead say “therefore poor people in my own country should not demand better living conditions”, and that makes the world a worse place because it blocks efforts to relieve people’s hardship. So pick a way you can help others, and do it.
Unfortunately, she answered wrong. She should have said "Everyday is a gift, given to us from our fearless leader Kim Jon Un". Honestly though, as sad as it is, that might be a real situation for her. It's like the CCP and saying anything bad about the government, except they kill you right away instead of weeks later.
We all need to be grateful in the U.S., my friend. It's sad because even in the worst of times, we still have it pretty good. And it makes me sad when so many people around the globe are so deprived of the blessings we have, and we take it for granted.
Also, it's called a poptart for a reason -- you easily pop 'em in a toaster, not a microwave! That's why they're shaped like that... but as a kid I usually preferred them cold anyway, so whatever. Lol. I love these kinds of videos :3

That is the problem with world politics, 99% of people on this planet are good people no matter where they are from, We are all the same and want a safe/happy/prosperous existence. But it only takes a few bad people in control to ruin it or send us off fighting each other.
@@ShaneMcGrath. There is truth to this. Often it is the governments that are full of hate and spewing the propaganda. I think that often the people can't control what their governments do and this includes western governments like the United Kingdom and America. Banksters, Wallstreet wealth barons, and politicians are the new nobility these days. The mainstream media is as bad as any country's propaganda machine. But hey the internet isn't all bad and people can meet and see different cultures.
The problem is we only ever see the worst samples of people in every country. The fattest, braggingist, and the most selfish are on the media that everyone sees.

I think I speak for all Americans when I say we the American people love the Korean peoples North and South and we sincerely wish those inside North Korea to one day gain their freedom from tyrannical rule and oppression they suffer inside North Korea.
There's a video of her talking about how she helped her soldiers see their family, when the military wouldn't let them. She really is one of the good people. I hope she's able to experience all the good things in life, now that she's no longer in north korea.
This is why fighting for freedom matters. Hearing all the horror stories these people express just trying to survive in that country, if you can even call it that, I’d gladly fight alongside any of them cause they know what really matters and is worth fighting for. Thankful for every single person that was able to escape and hopefully one day the regime can end.
People there feel exactly that way about us. They are living in extreme poverty as a consequence of American sanctions, and the genocide we committed there in the 50s. But they live in a society with free healthcare, no homelessness, etc. We are the ones who need to fight for our freedom. We live in the most heavily propagandized society on Earth.
The joke is that Twinkies never go bad but trust me, they do, and when they do you will never eat another one again in your entire life. I think I was 6 or 7 when I had a bad one and haven't had one in the decades (never mind how many) since.
I wanted to express how excited I was that they sent her the best one. Cinnamon and Brown Sugar...but holy fuck i have just been searching the comment section instructing people they meant to say _seconds_ 15 minutes means a house fire!!!!

@@asurasyn Better if its a Veteran from the Army with a few years of worldly experience. I know if its an Active Duty Service Member, candor would be an issue. The problem is not alot of American Soldier Veterans living in Korea. Dual Zoom should be an option.
@@JonMcQ420 I agree. An active duty serviceman in a format like this could be seen as propaganda, something the US military would definitely not approve of even if its done in good taste. Many service personnel have gotten into trouble for things they post on Facebook, TH-cam and Twitter, so its better done directly through the Department of Defense, or with a veteran.
People often bash on American snacks, but to be honest, even though American snacks are often extremely unhealthy, they do admittedly taste insanely good.
American snacks are extremely good for one thing, refuel from vigotous exercise. a ton of salt and calories packed in a tiny space? Perfect for backpacking.
It wouldn’t actually be that bad for us if we burned more of the calories we gained, it’s mostly bad because Americans like to eat this stuff and then not exercise. Of course eating junk food everyday is not optimal, but if you’re gonna do it, it helps to be active.
@@ronkledonkanusmoncher564 It's true you can work it all off. Hardcore backpackers and hikers treat snickers bars like they're gasoline for a car. That said, these snacks just have no nutritional value besides things like simple carbs, fats, and sodium. The fact that they're so tasty and easy to eat can make them very addictive too. Some people fill up on them instead of nutritious foods. So if you were to ONLY eat this stuff, or eat too much you would become malnourished and vitamin/mineral deficient. I'm more concerned about that than getting fat. Including them into a healthy diet and being active is no problem though.
I honestly wish we'd do for North Korea what we did for East Berlin. Just airdrop a crap ton of food until the populous turns against the current government.
We tried. The NK military collects it before the “citizens” can, and then either hoards it for use by “vips” or redistributes it as if it’s a gift from the NK politicos.
@@lepotatopotato9418 Really?? NKorean soldiers are so poorly fed, many die of starvation.! Human excrement is used for fertilizer, many defecting soldiers have serious worms in their intestines. So, I think her gratitude and appreciation is more meaningful than just " anyonoe's!"
I love this lady, it’s heartbreaking how her country literally robbed her childhood, teen years, young adult years, can’t have children even if she wanted etc. SK please be kind to her, she’s not a immigrant to be told to go back to her country! Thank you ♥️ from 🇬🇧
@@EvanG529 My point is that actors are the most affordable form of shaping public opinion, which forms policy and militaristic action. Wondering how many actors the USA will fall for. The Nayirah Testimony didn't seem to teach you guys a 10 trillion dollar lesson.
I'm not going to join the argument that happened above me, but rather to explain the situation in NK. Yes, People are oppressed immensely in NK, people eat grass and leaves and sometimes people to just live under the communist dictators watchful eye. If you are in NK, it's not a life. It's survival.
I just introduced my Indian husband to velveeta, I needed it for a very specific recipe otherwise I don't touch it, he had mixed feelings lol 😂 Although I actually really don't add extra salt to mostly anything since everything is salty already, so it probably wasn't so intense.

Which is so weird coming from a Korean, I mean i used to think nacho cheese doritos were spicy till I was 10 but that’s because I have a white family who never made me eat nothing spicy before that
Spices are actually a fairly luxury item. They don’t provide much nutrition, so in a country short on food, bland food that keeps you from starving is a much higher priority than good tasting food. I’m willing to bet that most North Koreans have never tasted traditional Korean cuisine.
@@lynkrig5635 thats weird nacho cheese doritos were spicy to you as they are a common kids snack. No one in my family ever thought they were spicy, even the ones who dont like spicy food as adults. Its interesting to know some people find them spicy. Never thought about it.
I'm an American veteran, when I'm in South Korea next time I'll bring A WHOLE SUITCASE of snacks for her! I love her she's so wholesome 😭 DIMPLE if you see this, please let her know that I will do this.
american veteran is not something you should proud of. Only thing USA send her soldiers - is to rob less strong countries. Since ww2 noone attack you, but you attack others.
She's so sweet. It's so sad to hear she's never had a gift before. Very sad to hear, but I'm super glad to hear that she is grateful. This makes me so happy.
My mother was South Korean, married to an American. She discovered Twinkies late in life and loved them so much that she would buy boxes and boxes at a time! Watching you try them reminds me so much of her reaction when she first tried them!
I take too many things in life for granted. Really. She has never even had a proper birthday gift and is in tears receiving just snacks from others. May she live the rest of her life in an abundance of joy, love and laughter.
Well, I think that nobody should have to live in a regime like North-Korea. It's appaling that the rest of the world isn't doing more to overthrow the government there.
I’m a Native American (Cherokee Indian), and probably old enough to be your father. I only have one child, a daughter, who’s a senior in college. We Americans know very little about the people of North Korea...only it’s leader. To see the honesty, thanks, and humility on your face, and hear it in your voice was very moving for me. It made me think of my own daughter and what she perhaps would have had to endure if she had grown up in North Korea. The gifts you received are pretty much taken for granted by we Americans. I hope that yourself and your family will enjoy them. The people (men and women) of your country deserve better out of their leadership. Government and it’s officials withstanding perhaps, all of you are simply just “regular” people, no different than any of us here. Watching this video showed me that for the very first time. I’ll be keeping a good thought for yourself and your family...thank you for the gift of sharing a little part of your life.
@@GamerNerdess I don't feel that I misrepresented anything having grown up during the Cold War, practicing "Duck and Cover" in school once a week, seeing the fall of the Berlin Wall, knowing what the "Iron Curtain" was, what it represented, and the things that were kept hidden behind it by Communism, and away from Western eyes. I made a "generalized" statement that was intended as nothing but a compliment to one that has lived under, and escaped tyranny. How the hell you could take that as an insult, or ignorant, is utterly ridiculous. I'd challenge you to walk down the street and find one person out of ten that can even name the tyrant that's in control of North Korea, or knows what Communism is and what it represents. And, who would also know a damn thing about the Korean "Police Action." Why, and when it happened, the participants, the results, and if they have any clue what the 38th Parallel or DMZ is. The mere fact that you are unable to understand my comment or it's intent, took it as a personal insult, and gave you reason to personally attack me and my words, is a better representation of "ignorance" than any twisted misunderstanding of a comment left by me. But, that's an impossible task for one who is an admitted "nazi" such as yourself now isn't it? You're the epitome of "ignorance," who should be locked up and studied...or, at least spayed/neutered. You're contaminating the gene pool of this great Country.

Was i the only one that didn't get married or have a kid with the locals while stationed?!?! I had a crush on a girl who worked in a restaurant and never had the balls to ask her out but she knew I liked her gave me something to remember her by.
During the Vietnam war my grandfather was stationed along the South Korea and North Korea border. He had some chocolate bars with him and well patrolling he had many interactions with the North Korean soldiers. One of the days when things weren‘t as tense he handed over some chocolate to the North Korean soldiers and they gave him a non-verbal smile type of „thank you“. It just brightens my heart so much to see that there are more people like this.
Why would your grandpa be stationed at the North/South Korean border during Vietnam?? They are thousands of miles from Vietnam. I'm sure you meant the Korean war correct?
@@charlottesmom my grandpa was 3 during the Korean War. It was some kind of mission where he was meant to protect the president of South Korea and do routine border checks with other soldiers. I‘d have to ask him to get a more exact idea of what he was doing but that’s what I remember.
I tried it once at the flea market here have to say it was weird. However that was only a sample and on one occasion years ago so may need to try it again as my taste buds changed.
This goes to show that a lot of Americans take for granted the freedoms we have and the choices of stuff we can get. There’s always someone worse off and it’s something think about. I happy she got to try stuff and it was awesome for the space force guardian to send some awesome treats for her to try!
Ok now I need to learn Korean, just so I can write a letter to this woman. She is AMAZING. As an American, I hope the people of ALL foreign countries know that we love the people, even if our governments disagree.

@@joeczernik2459 While they call themselves communist, in reality they're a dictatorial monarchy. Current leader is the son of the previous leader, chosen by him to take over, and whom was the son of the leader before that.

People there feel exactly that way about us. They are living in extreme poverty as a consequence of American sanctions, and the genocide we committed there in the 50s. But they live in a society with free healthcare, no homelessness, etc. We are the ones who need to fight for our freedom. We live in the most heavily propagandized society on Earth.
The fact that she REALLY enjoyed Twinkies made me smile. 🙂
The joke is that Twinkies never go bad but trust me, they do, and when they do you will never eat another one again in your entire life. I think I was 6 or 7 when I had a bad one and haven't had one in the decades (never mind how many) since.

Watching her eat American junkfood snacks like they are rare delicacies gives me such joy
People often bash on American snacks, but to be honest, even though American snacks are often extremely unhealthy, they do admittedly taste insanely good.
American snacks are extremely good for one thing, refuel from vigotous exercise. a ton of salt and calories packed in a tiny space? Perfect for backpacking.
It makes me so proud and grateful to be an American!
It wouldn’t actually be that bad for us if we burned more of the calories we gained, it’s mostly bad because Americans like to eat this stuff and then not exercise. Of course eating junk food everyday is not optimal, but if you’re gonna do it, it helps to be active.
@@ronkledonkanusmoncher564 It's true you can work it all off. Hardcore backpackers and hikers treat snickers bars like they're gasoline for a car. That said, these snacks just have no nutritional value besides things like simple carbs, fats, and sodium. The fact that they're so tasty and easy to eat can make them very addictive too. Some people fill up on them instead of nutritious foods. So if you were to ONLY eat this stuff, or eat too much you would become malnourished and vitamin/mineral deficient. I'm more concerned about that than getting fat. Including them into a healthy diet and being active is no problem though.

Spices are actually a fairly luxury item. They don’t provide much nutrition, so in a country short on food, bland food that keeps you from starving is a much higher priority than good tasting food. I’m willing to bet that most North Koreans have never tasted traditional Korean cuisine.

I’m a Native American (Cherokee Indian), and probably old enough to be your father. I only have one child, a daughter, who’s a senior in college. We Americans know very little about the people of North Korea...only it’s leader. To see the honesty, thanks, and humility on your face, and hear it in your voice was very moving for me. It made me think of my own daughter and what she perhaps would have had to endure if she had grown up in North Korea. The gifts you received are pretty much taken for granted by we Americans. I hope that yourself and your family will enjoy them. The people (men and women) of your country deserve better out of their leadership. Government and it’s officials withstanding perhaps, all of you are simply just “regular” people, no different than any of us here. Watching this video showed me that for the very first time. I’ll be keeping a good thought for yourself and your family...thank you for the gift of sharing a little part of your life.
Most Americans know about North Korea and the struggle its people endure. Do not misrepresent an entire country due to your own ignorance.
@@GamerNerdess I don't feel that I misrepresented anything having grown up during the Cold War, practicing "Duck and Cover" in school once a week, seeing the fall of the Berlin Wall, knowing what the "Iron Curtain" was, what it represented, and the things that were kept hidden behind it by Communism, and away from Western eyes. I made a "generalized" statement that was intended as nothing but a compliment to one that has lived under, and escaped tyranny. How the hell you could take that as an insult, or ignorant, is utterly ridiculous. I'd challenge you to walk down the street and find one person out of ten that can even name the tyrant that's in control of North Korea, or knows what Communism is and what it represents. And, who would also know a damn thing about the Korean "Police Action." Why, and when it happened, the participants, the results, and if they have any clue what the 38th Parallel or DMZ is. The mere fact that you are unable to understand my comment or it's intent, took it as a personal insult, and gave you reason to personally attack me and my words, is a better representation of "ignorance" than any twisted misunderstanding of a comment left by me. But, that's an impossible task for one who is an admitted "nazi" such as yourself now isn't it? You're the epitome of "ignorance," who should be locked up and studied...or, at least spayed/neutered.

Good luck eating it after 15 SECONDS! 15 minutes will burn your entire block down.
I was wondering how many would catch that. Actually the toaster would be better.
I did a double take and I was sure hoping the next scene wasn't someone doing just that
Lovs your Lightning profile pic :)
Some of the most famous American snacks you'll ever see. What a treat this woman was sent. Thank you for sharing.
Seeing this makes me wanna buy her an entire Wal-Mart
Bro, same!
Who's in
Same! She would be so happy!
Wait it's dangerous, you will encounter strange creatures in Walmart, Ok ok I'm kidding

During the Vietnam war my grandfather was stationed along the South Korea and North Korea border. He had some chocolate bars with him and well patrolling he had many interactions with the North Korean soldiers. One of the days when things weren‘t as tense he handed over some chocolate to the North Korean soldiers and they gave him a non-verbal smile type of „thank you“. It just brightens my heart so much to see that there are more people like this.
Why would your grandpa be stationed at the North/South Korean border during Vietnam?? They are thousands of miles from Vietnam. I'm sure you meant the Korean war correct?
@@charlottesmom my grandpa was 3 during the Korean War. It was some kind of mission where he was meant to protect the president of South Korea and do routine border checks with other soldiers. I‘d have to ask him to get a more exact idea of what he was doing but that’s what I remember.
@@mastercrazyyyd7699 it just sounded weird, I'd love to hear more about his time in the war sounds like he was in an interesting position.
@@charlottesmom yeah I can ask him some more about it, my grandpa is the coolest.
@@mastercrazyyyd7699 Please make a video of his response for history's sake.
North Korean people are not the enemy but the leaders and leadership...
This is a fair statement for most governments alot of simple problems could be solved but they want power and money.
It’s usually the governments that are really bad. It doesn’t have to do with the people, who are the ones suffering 😔
Same with American
Gracefully tearing up while saying you’ve never gotten a proper birthday present… I foresee a flood of presents coming your way ❤️
The bottle of seasoning is called Tajin and it's actually Mexican. We like to sprinkle it on fruit.
Tajin is so good on watermelon and pineapple 😍
I tried it once at the flea market here have to say it was weird. However that was only a sample and on one occasion years ago so may need to try it again as my taste buds changed.
Alicia.."Buenos Dias Mi Amiga"...from Tucson, Arizona
@@bellaswan1459 Try it on some fruit but lightly sprinkle it.
It’s amazing on mango
She hasn’t received birthday gifts?!
Goddamn this’ll be interesting when she checks the mail and it’s just *PRESENTS ALL OVER THE PLACE*
I just mailed her one today!
Lol, right? Oh, I hope they get it on camera. One of my favorite things ever is seeing the light and surprise in people's eyes as they open a gift. :)
@@karenvincent5202 I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you 😊
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 she's a cinnamon bun we must spoil her with all the foods
Yes please 🥺
but regular CheezIts, please. Spicy are an abomination.
she'd be so confused about the term cinnamon bun QwQ
I want to hug her so bad 😭🫶🏼🤍 I love her so much, please keep posting her dimple!!
“I haven’t received any presents before”
Me: *chuckles in sending more presents*
Shes so sweet. It was also so nice of Rihanna to go out of her way to send a gift. Happy Holidays everyone.
I really appreciate you saying so! May God bless you!!!
Rihanna?
@@RogerLuedecke The Soldier's name is Rihanna
@Whats Up? not everyone watching this vid/reading this comment is American....soo happy Holidays
@Whats Up? not everyone celebrates christmas this time of year lmao; there’s kwanzaa, hanukkah, yule, etc.
Her eating and enjoying a Twinkee for the first time brought a huge smile to my face.
when she called them cute I laughed haha
Same here.
Even she had a smile on her face trying it for the very first time.
She'll end up the size of Sgt. Al Powell!
This goes to show that a lot of Americans take for granted the freedoms we have and the choices of stuff we can get. There’s always someone worse off and it’s something think about. I happy she got to try stuff and it was awesome for the space force guardian to send some awesome treats for her to try!
Ok now I need to learn Korean, just so I can write a letter to this woman. She is AMAZING. As an American, I hope the people of ALL foreign countries know that we love the people, even if our governments disagree.
These people are prisoners. The situation is so much more fucking dire than people in this comment section is letting on. This is crazy sad. Our governments do not merely disagree. Her government would nuke us all if they could. There is not a single redeemable leader in that country, otherwise the craziness would end. AND calling it a republic. Don't make me laugh.
@@Bobdylan12121 he doesn't want to end the world or even nuke us really Kim and his family are just lazy entitled elites who will do anything to stay in power the nukes are to get America to not intervien in there country like we do
yes, it is the American attitude that we respect all other countries and cultures. Korea...both North and South have a long standing culture. Its just too bad that the North had the unfortunate result as having the communist government they have. That is NO reflection on the people
@@joeczernik2459 While they call themselves communist, in reality they're a dictatorial monarchy. Current leader is the son of the previous leader, chosen by him to take over, and whom was the son of the leader before that. And the whole family does whatever they want, while everyone else has to do what they say.
And pretty much every country with Democratic and/or People's in the country's name is anything but. Those with Republic in the name often are the same, but not as often.
Any update? I've been learning about 4 years and I'm still not quite fluent, it takes a lot of time training your brain to think a different way. It's pretty cool to surprise Korean or Mexicans were you can speak their language lol.
Is no one going to point out that this was sent by an active duty soldier in the SPACE FORCE?!
Supposedly named Rihanna lmfao
Pretty sure that was just an issue with the translation, later it says Air Force. Air - space... Not a huge jump, though it did get a brow perk from me for a half-second.
@@Briar_Prince but the us space force is actually a thing
@@Briar_Prince Space Force is definitely a thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Force 2500 members, previously it was Air Force Space Command.
@@rachmae4180 I think it's funny how a tv series spinoff making fun of it and how no one took it seriously and now it's normal to be like yeah: they're probably dealing with aliens and other races, etc. In addition to protecting our satellites, etc, from other domestic threats. Times are weird. They're called guardians instead of soldiers or airmen.
I’m screaming inside. Pop tarts don’t go in the microwave, it goes into the toaster. 🥺
Thats bullshit... you can place them on a napkin and put them in the microwave for 20 seconds. I know.. Ive done it.
@Margaret Bush I aint care if im being rude. Earths not a friendly place so f,you..
@Margaret Bush I was being a lil sarcastic lol. I know people eat pop tarts all sorts of diff ways but it's just mainstream way to eat it is toasted. Otherwise, it wouldn't be marketed as "pop" tarts x"D
@@1978mackdaddy Spread a little butter on them if you put them in the microwave, at least the fruit flavored pop-tarts. Makes them 10x better imo.
@@xShadow_God will def be trying this once I get my hands on some pop tarts. Is there a specific flavor u reccomend?
This made me cry for the first time in a long time. As a man raised in the south, crying is very taboo however her reaction to receiving gifts absolutely made my heart drop. I have never wished more that our world could come together as one big family. Thank you for your service, and may God bless you and yours.
I spent 10-years on active duty in the US Navy, so, Kim Jeong Ah, a big "salute" from one veteran to another. Also, a big "well done" to the active-duty soldier who sent along this package!
YES! And YES! And, Thank You For Serving, all the way around! :)
Please don't take this as an insult, but a person in the Space Force is not a solider, they are referred to as "guardians"... pretty cheesy i know but for any non military folks reading this the terms for each branch are as follows:
Army: Soilder
Marine Corps: Marine
Navy: Sailor/Seamen depending on context
Air Force: Airman
Coastguard: Coastguardsman
Space force: Guardian (formerly "space professionals")
@@G1ennbeckismyher0 Yup, agreed; cheesy. WHO in the !FF! came up with that? Some Chair Force nerd at the Pentagon? Come on, people! We can do better than THAT!
@@jamescurfman3284 watch it, you are talking to a chair force nerd ;)
@@G1ennbeckismyher0 Well I was Navy. :P
Pop tarts go in the toaster for only a few minutes 2-3. Please don't microwave for 15 minutes lol
17sec is the magic number. But I'm glad someone else caught the 15min remark
its just a translation error, the PD actually says 15 seconds
Yes I'm sure the person meant to say 15 seconds. I dont really like pop tarts but heated they are while lot better.
The idea came to me is if we could bomb North Korea with massive amounts of twinkies a whole lot of North Koreans may start 2and guessing Kim's deity claims.
@@richardmennel2415 It would be like the Hostess ads in old comic books. You could seize the missile silo while they are distracted.
HAHA...I was like no you put it in the toaster, not microwave.
When she said she's never received a birthday gift ... I lost it. 😞 where can I send this amazing human being something they deserve !?!? Seriously .
I know this is an old comment, but if youre still wondering, theres an address in the description. You have to scroll down a little bit to find it
Oof hearing her say "Not even birthday presents" really hit me in the heart. I hope everyone gets gifts in their life. Even something simple can show just how much you love a person and everybody deserves to feel loved.
The comment are mostly either “don’t microwave a poptart for 15 minutes” or “give her all the junk food gifts!”
No, let her do it, I want to see it. She’ll get more! Relax. Now that’s an experiment! It sounds boarder line dangerous.
Nuke a Pop Tart into oblivion.
Funny, I foolishly assumed they're called pop tarts because they go in the pop up toaster...... what do I know- I'm just an aussie! She needs a couple packets of TIM TAMS and some LOLLY GOBBLE BLISS BOMBS! She'll do back flips.
@@rossbrumby1957 You can do that too.
@@rossbrumby1957 Pop Tarts are definitely designed for the toaster that pops up, yes.
You *could* nuke them in the microwave (for a few seconds, not 15 min!), but you're asking for a floppy thing hotter than the sun that will burn off your fingerprints and mouth.
As an american I feel like we all need to spam her with as many birthday gift boxes as we can. I want everything from food an snacks to video games an movies sent to her. She deserves our respect an love. Hope you all have an amazing Christmas!
From New York with love.
Ok, I had the same thought, but when is her birthday ?

@@tv-iv5ic What is the address to send to for your Birthday, Christmas, and New Year!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!!!!!
OK - I found the address in the Post!
@@tv-iv5ic what kind of items would she like for a birthday gift?? Or a late Christmas present for her family??
The way she loved the twinkies I was thinking “girl wait until you get to the nutty bars and chips ahoy!”
That she is moved by the generosity of a few simple snacks.......absolutely breaks my heart
I am a retired Army and was stationed in South Korea in the 70s. I got to meet a couple who defected and reunited with family in the tiny village where I was stationed. Have a Merry Christmas
Now we know how to deflate North Korea's superiority: send snack foods to the soldiers.
I believe South Korea does air drop snacks “moon pies” with demoralizing messages.
No joke, choco pies became a form of black market currency in North Korea.
@@evakeeslar1766 Wait wut
@@cedrickvidal1362 yeah, North Korean citizens working in factories in South Korea would be given choco pies as an incentive. The factory workers would bring them back to North Korea where they could barter and trade with them as a form of currency. North Korea even banned choco pies in 2014, so now they’re illegal black market snacks.
@@evakeeslar1766 what-
North Korean veteran: twinkies are amazing
Hostess: stonks
Hello from Washington state, US. My love and support goes out to you, your family, neighbors, and community. I hope the world will see your liberation soon.
Seeing her cry over like $40 worth of snacks made me tear up. Ahhhhhh I wanna send her groceries!
Two years ago that was actually a decent amount of food.

"Put the poptart in the microwave for 15 minutes"
NOT 15 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
Hahaha yea xD next fire 🔥
That's what I thought! They'll take the whole house down.
This sweet woman was married but never really got any gifts even on her birthdays? That is painfully depressing to hear.
Yet an american woman will whine when all she got was 1 carat........
No such thing as gifts under Communism. You cannot give what you do not own.
@@sammy080798 not all of them
..and I'm sitting here looking at my "Christmas haul" and all I want to do now is pack it all off to goodwill. We all need to be more thankful and appreciative of what we have in our country.
I only recently discovered this channel and I don''t know the parts of her life she has shared here (only watched her reacting to American soldiers coming home), plus she said she never really got them. That could suggest she didn't really get any until after she left NK. Her husband and son could do special things together to celebrate her birthday in lou of or in addition to. I hope that the internet can show how wonderful it can be and this women (and others like her) will receive the love this world can give. I can't do much this year myself, so it might be later than her b-day but I hope I can spend a package with my own favorite snacks to share.
Crying at the sight of snacks I see in every gas station…. She has been through so much, her gratefulness knows now bounds ❤ bless her
Them: microwave poptart for 15 minutes..
Me: NONONONONONONO
😂
I’m a United States soldier who enjoys this Channel on my free time, I have the upmost respect for you and I adore your Chanel, I wish you good health and a wonderful life 🖤

I am a former US Marine ,I live in Japan. I've been in and out of Korea. I can say that any Marine I know would be honoured and more than happy to sit down with you and talk. Congratulations on your new life for you and your family, I can't imagine how much strength it took to do what you did. Just because we don't like the government there doesn't mean we do not like it's people. What yours have endured has been horrific. All the best!
