No one says 'rocketman' seriously. Well except for people who are retarded enough to be Trump supporters.

[@shae2330]

Krytern UK, ou sick burn. How will Trump supporters ever recover from that devastating insult. Are you even allowed to use hate speech like that in the UK. I'm worried you might get arrested for insulting mentally handicap people.

[@ADEspadas]

He deserve a travel around the most beautiful places in the world.

[@Bakotcha]

That soldier who crossed the border for a moment must've thought "If only I don't have a family" then proceeds to turn back.

[@bananielrush8602]

God bless that man for doing what he did. Hope he’s alive

[@pauloborgesdasilvajunior3823]

The description says he is alive, although I don't think the same can he sad about his family back in North Korea

[@mytheye]

I bet they'll make a film about this decades from now.

[@englishteacherdon]

I hope this guy can have a somewhat normal life after this. I fear for his family back home.

[@funnyandclevername5599]

Me runnin from my mom with the belt

[@MichaelCasey1988]

Sure her are my papers 1:16 SCCCCCCCEEEEERRRRRRTTTTT!!!!!

[@904czv4]

Michael Casey lol!

[@whitewolf5109]

Michael Casey 😂 I bet he used the Old Ben trick. “You don’t need to see my credentials....oh tell your mother thanks for the egg drop soup, and tell your father that he can keep the Gran Torino, oh and tell Little Jimmy I said to look after my Fido”.

[@TheRoachDoggSr]

That man will eventually be a grandfather, telling the story of how he escaped the treacheries of North Korea

[@atarashii7053]

hope when there will be a Korean without North and South

[@Rodrigo-tk8wm]

With Big ass balls

[@persionlamb]

Ok when are other nations going to step forward and do something about this? There a innocent civilians in North Korea that are facing many human right violations! North Korea reminds me of what happened with the Berlin Wall. The wall was built to keep people within its walls not from keeping people out.

[@aquariius4795]

Acting upon this issue increases the chance of a nuclear war...

[@Dovahkiif]

John Smith it's much more complicated than you're making it out to be

[@connoroflynn1750]

Do what? Lol

[@mspixiedust100]

Do something about what? lol

[@FlightX101]

Unfortunately we cant just invade a nuclear armed country. That entire region of the world would dive into chaos

[@irenaazniowska5373]

It's a real miracle that he survived

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

I really hope North Korea becomes like South Korea in my lifetime

[@gordusmaximus4990]

Kirbae a united Korea, like German unification style.

[@KingNexu5]

The first clip of the camera tracking is to me, insane! To be able to capture that all from one mounted position is scary-crazy.

[@narwhallegion8583]

At least EA didn’t make him pay a defection fee.

[@MinhNhat_tv]

abosolutely dramatic :)

[@asgaiyawaya3973]

Nk commander: great news guys we got em? Soldier 2: ah sir he got away Commander: Oh f#### now we're boned.

[@a1a2a3a4a5a6a75]

Can you imagine how relieved this guy felt when he woke up in a "South" Korean hospital.

[@AquaDavie]

You don’t realize how wounded he is until you can see the trail of blood on the heat camera when they’re dragging him to the other side

[@Taigirr]

This is going to be such an epic movie one day. I can imagine it being Benedict Cumberbatch's first oscar win!

[@gordusmaximus4990]

Taigirr huh... A white guy playing a Korean?...

[@pbsummrz8075]

João Silva hollywoodism in one comment congratulations Taigirr you walking statistic

[@Taigirr]

Shame on you guys for judging people on their ethnic background! ployplayboy summers João Silva

[@mrmatt5356]

I wanna see an update with him

[@hughmcrae4109]

It looks like the soldiers didn't try to hard to stop him, I feel as humans they know they are captives in their own country. Wouldn't you?

[@kakalotto]

Never. They just failed to kill. You are so emotional.

[@durian111]

they try to let him escape, just by grazing shot on him obviously.

[@KDZX4]

They didn't seem organized, so ..

[@jbman890]

durian111 he was shot 5 times and was unconscious and bleeding out when he got to the south side.

[@milesedgeworth132]

You think these guys are well-trained? They're afraid. Scared. Never even seen an actual gunshot unless it was their leader killing another child. The moment they see something out of the blue the only thing they know how to do is shoot and run.

[@ahanfiremand8724]

I’m sure this guy has been dreaming about this moment for a long time... well done son 👏

[@thecashmaker1994]

This whole time (before watching the video) I thought the defector ran on foot towards the South Korean side. Apparently, he used a car to cross to the other side.

[@DDC6417]

2:28 when people find out I have the flag when playing capture the flag

[@MrRed-tu7xd]

I hope he didn't have any friends or family left behind.

[@praisekek9452]

I read somewhere earlier that he had unknown parasites in his stomach that the South Korean surgeons haven't seen before

[@BlueFury2577]

I think that might have been a different guy. Edit: It wasn't.

[@themouloud83]

It was not unknown parasites but the surgeon said he haven't seen that many big parasites in human body which he could never seen that sort of thing in South Koreans'. He was a bit shocked that he could see that big many parasites which he could have only seen in text book. Anyway that thing is huge tragedy. Many South Koreans feel sympathy because of it and wish truely him to recover.

[@praisekek9452]

seo-young park thanks only because the article I read said that they were "unknown" not a large quantity either way wouldn't be a pleasant thing

[@claroquesi471]

Don’t worry the doctor said these parasites were textbook example and I read they already cleared him of the parasites. Don’t worry we’re not gonna have some global pandemic.

[@dragonel88]

Yes,those are known as vocal cord parasite.

[@greatrome9219]

Props for the man filming this horizontally!

[@meltingatom]

Dang their cameras are high quality! Most banks still have 50 pixel , black and white CCTV

[@DonoDino]

2:59 *Exodus*

[@andrewryan1203]

DonoDino 10:28-29?

[@EnveeH2]

What a god literally GTA 5'ing it all the way to freedom. SK Surgeons say he's going to survive just fine. It'll be interesting to see what kind of information he has considering he was high enough rank to get a hold of a vehicle and make it to the border before being bothered.

[@benjaminsovdottir4627]

funny how all the important shit never has any audio

[@f_alcon2903]

you know how far the camera is

[@carlosmagalhaes7109]

Nice trailer! When is this movie going to come out?

[@DawgBreff]

Brave guy, I hope he makes a good recovery and can enjoy a free life from now on

[@Party_Almsivi]

>there are Communist apologists who defend the DPRK I hope this man lives as long, free, and joyful a life as he can after all he's been through: the parasitic stomach worms, hepatitis, poor nutrition...I can't imagine what kind of baggage he's got. I wish him well.

[@Falcon2.39-1]

One of those North Korean soldiers broke a law crossing into south korea

[@brrr8904]

Jason Doughnut he was probably scared for his life. They're all probably gonna get executed for letting this man defect to South Korea...

[@CLSK2]

Jason Doughnut they broke 2. crossing lines and firing guns

[@CLSK2]

Tomasz Wawruszko it's Demilitarized zone and they have guns and even fired it

[@RolIinStoner420]

Would you like to call your local police station to report this? Im sure they will be willing to bend over backwards to help a internet lawyer.. Good luck :)

[@knewworldtoo2883]

It's still Korea..don't believe the propaganda.

[@Neceros]

Sickening to see people try to kill with all their might a man trying to make his life better.

[@aboalzoz7818]

قسم بالله هذا الجندي يستاهل جائزة الشجاعة ...الحرية تستحق المجازفة بكل تأكيد.

[@ullejarnsida]

The first security camera that has good quality

[@sulkembo]

Man was just trying to get inside the circle, blue zones can be a bitch

[@gankplankmain7862]

If I was one of a soldiers I would have join him to go to south kr

[@daziminer]

And his family?

[@michaelstout8501]

You say that but I'm sure it would play out a lot different if you were in their shoes.

[@cyber_dragon_123]

I’m pretty sure the NK population is brainwashed. This is why we don’t hear much about them except for nuclear hype and banning of KZbin.

[@koolerpure]

GankPlank Main you probably wouldn’t, you’d fight to stay due to fear and not knowing what is beyond the borders of NK

[@kimjong-un5361]

If you guys have any important information about the location of this man it would be much appreciated.

[@thehengy3232]

Silence, tubby.

[@JimNagle87]

My sincerest hope that this man survives and retains good enough health to find some happiness in his life.

[@gazriley624]

i hope he is safe and living a better life

[@nicomeier8098]

I'm glad he made it out off that hell hole alive. But if he has any family left there they will suffer the consequences, that is how they keep their citizens afraid. Much like the Stasi in former East Germany did. Also evil as hell.

[@vp3579]

this is much better than hollywood.

[@ALEXJRZ]

best scene of 2017

[@lostatsol7626]

So why isn't anybody talking about this?

[@deepwawa8525]

CCTV FOOTAGE HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

[@gladyschong3187]

I wish we could hear the gunshot noises

[@RaytheonNublinski]

Run Forest-Un. Run.

[@JerBuster77]

Would have hated to be the guy to go and bother Kim Jong Un during his private time with his hos and Dave Skylark.

[@AdrianaMVPrayerPodcastShow]

I am more impressed by the footage like who got this?

[@Blee48]

They look so disorganized when this happens. Huddled as a group wondering what to even do. No formation or anything

[@Ireviewwatches]

Question. Who made this video? I think South Korea, but how? Drone? Sattelite?

[@durian111]

satelite, wtf are you thinking

[@muhammadrizqistory8161]

Surveillance cameras, ever heard of cctv? God bless you

[@abhinavsah5764]

iReviewWatches.com CCTV dude .it's one of the most millitarized zone.

[@dronfly4406]

HD CCTV tower, 70m's high from the ground...

*If it's a tower I think it's very tall tower. 70 m's.... Thanks.*
