Girls who escaped death in N.Korea are now struggle of being a teenager in South Korea

[@elpeu]

The way the girl is trying her best to live her life but worrying about whether her mom is safe or not is really tormenting her deep inside. I cant imagine what theyve been through they need psychological help to forget all the trauma.

[@specialtwice4975]

I've been in a somewhat abusive relationship, and psychologically it was hard. Still, it was nothing compared to what these girls go through. My relationship lasted only a few years and I had ptsd/cptsd/anxiety attacks from it. In the north they are bra1nwa$hed all their life, alllllll of it.... It's like "wow". I'm amazed at these girl's bravery and perseverance. Because ALL their life is psychological trauma; examples: always being cautious of what you say, wearing what they tell you to wear, saying what they want you to say, always looking behind your back, always worrying about your family, going hungry, etc. It's amazing and admirable how they continue to move forward happily each and every day. No you can't imagine what they've been through, it is unthinkable to first world societies which is why it is so amazing that they came so far. I'm happy for them.

Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.

[@aliciakidd7940]

​​​@@small_fries7573 This girl is struggling with the severity of her situation. And here you are showing off that your so privileged all you have to do is worry about your soul. Is this really the first thing you'd say to someone this traumatized? "oh what you're dealing with now isn't as important, if you don't believe in what we do you'll be damned forever". I don't know who's parents thought that its okay to let their kids to treat others this way but they were wrong for doing so. It really shows your callus in the matter of what these people go through so much so you have the gal to act like she's got no reason to be happy with out your god. Go back to your privileged church and preach to those who have lives simple enough that "finding God" is all they need to be happy. Do not insult these women all they needs is faith and Jesus. Does faith give the body nutrients or Jesus show up at my door with plates of food? Does faith stop the torture or Jesus go rescue her immediate and extended family that is most definitely being captured and tortured right now? Does faith remove the mass of worms from these defectors bellies that have been growing for years due to terrible circumstances or does Jesus perform the surgery it will take to help a person be able to absorb nutrients after being malnourished? I'll go ahead and tell you, no. It doesn't and he doesn't. Good for you that you only have to worry about you next life. Some of us have to fight tooth and nail for a chance at our first one, don't discount that.

[@user-dl8ox4lt3k]

They are bunch of trolls. In Korea, far-left democratic party(민주당, Korean Democratic Party) supporters sometimes get carried away, calling N. Korea defectors as 'betrayer'. Because they are anti-Japan, anti-America, pro-china, and pro-north Korea. They think the north korean government is a reliable partner, so they hate N. korea defectors because they undermine the relationship between two Koreas. Most Korean hate them.

[@jemiez9383]

Thats the reality of the modern South Korea. They even discriminated their own people that is basically the same race/ethnicity with them. Foreigners thought SK is their dream without realizing how corrupt and rotten their so-called advancement.

But growing up in NZ is tough too isn’t it? It’s so geographically isolated from the rest of the world, even traveling to your neighbouring country Australia requires a long 4 hour flight, making it very difficult to get out of the country for a vacation. Imported goods and services have to be transported tens of thousands of kilometres just to reach your shore, thus making the cost of living in NZ really high

I will never understand how tough their lives were in North Korea, me even though I was born in Seoul, I don’t know who my birth parents are, adopted from an orphanage when I was 5 yrs old and living in America. My situation will never be as hard for these teens from North Korea. I see North Koreans as Korean, we look the same, how are we any different from North and South. Only people I blame in North Korea is the leaders that have come and gone and high ranking Military in the North Korean military. I feel we can change some of the men and women in the North Korean military, they may be the low ranking soldiers but North Korean civilians are my fellow Koreans who are suffering.

Getting a trade in South Korea might not be all that lucrative.

They're next door to each other (so to speak) and they don't get along. It must be uncomfortable for some of the students for people to think of them as "spies". People are not responsible for where they were born. People don't choose Nationalities. God assigns that to whomever He chooses. This video was so happy, then sad, then exciting, then numbing. Hyang will get a chance to see her mom. The students have had a rough time coming to South Korea and still don't quite know how to fit in. I have confidence that they will make it there in South Korea because they had a loving and caring Teacher to look after them. Thanks for sharing. These are the type videos I really enjoy.

*If you watched the documentary showing North Koreans fleeing you’d really see the EXTREME danger involved every step of the way. The fact that they’re so young and did it🥺*

Best of luck and I hope they might tutor people in Korean. South Korean has many English loan words and if one wants to learn Korean without these learning from her and other North Koreans would be ideal.

Are there any updates on them?

[@Sfb396]

its the responsibility of the South Korean parents and teachers to teach their children correctly about north koreans. In the end, you are all the same. Understand your history and by dividing and bullying north koreans, you are disrespecting your own people because you are all one.

She escaped hell into a different kind of hell. Hope her the best

It's always the ignorant white westerners making these kinds of remarks. Yes, South Korea has its problems, but it is infinitely better than North Korea.
