I never got a chance to speak with her much, but I wish I had. I know she had tremendous guilt for the family she left behind, and that she struggled to make friendships or even basic connections. I wish I had a chance to ask her the hard questions, to check in on her, to help her feel less alone. Thank you for this small insight into what she experienced.

In the middle of the 60s, one of my high school classmates tried to escape to Austria during the summer holidays. He knew that he had an extremely low chance of getting through the Hungarian/Austrian border or even getting close to it (young people's ID was checked several times on public transport on the way to the border area), so he decided to go through Yugoslavia. It was relatively easy for him to cross the Hungarian/Yugoslav border, but was caught by the Yugoslav border guards near the Yugoslav/Austria border. They beat him up so badly that he required hospitalisation for several weeks. After that, they handed him over to the Hungarian police. The police were so shocked at how bad he looked that they refused to charge him in case the court case would cause international embarrassment. So he was allowed to return to school. Of course, he was not allowed to travel outside Hungary, not even to other communist countries, until the late 80s. He died recently.

How people could take advantage of defectors is so unbelievably sad to me. To be so devoid of empathy and morals to enslave or exploit those escapees is horrible.

[@vic5015]

Ive heard that eacapees from North Korea actually prefer to live in the US versus South Korea, pointing out that the wider US population can't tell they're North Korean and thus doesbt particularly mistreat them. Truly sad to hear as someone whose family Korean. Very saddened and disappointed that they are allegedly mistreated by people who look like me and could easily be in their shoes if they had happened to be born on the other side of the DMZ.

[@rickbase833]

I'm first generation American citizen born here after my parents escaped from one of the Iron Curtain countries, Bulgaria, in 1967. The lockdown of people was just as harsh. North Korea makes Bulgaria 1967 look like a minimum security prison. Parents were approached several times while in America about doing a book and they refused because they feared repercussions on their families in Bulgaria. If North Korean defectors get book or movie deals...I have no doubt that NK would put a hit out for said defector. Kim had his own brother killed abroad.

[@joshr8666]

[@rickbase833]

All the east bloc countries were like that. Stalin and team had communist leader installed in those countries. Twice, the people of two countries started an uprising, and twice the Soviets came in with tanks and troops to quell the populations.....like China did with Tianemen Square. When the Soviet Union collapsed all the east bloc countries followed suit in 1990. In the case of Romania, the dictator and his wife were quickly captured, tried in like an hour, and taken out back and shot.

Books have been written by defectors, though recently, one of them was found to have a lot of inconsistencies and lies about her story. I think her name is Kiyomi? Forgive me, that name may be incorrect, but she has a KZbin channel as well, and I've seen a few lf her videos. The discussions in her comment sections tipped me off that some of her stories made no sense (like the cultural rules for dating, her saying she had a boyfriend at some point, but supposedly she left the country when she was only about six...which, any "playground crush" at that age isn't worthy of being called a boyfriend or girlfriend, lol) and other things people who've watched her longer have spotted.

I doubt he remembers tbh. He's talked frequently on subjects he's already covered and says he has no memory, just the title rings a bell - the way he works (or it SEEMS to be I should say) is he reads a little ahead, then processes that chunk so he can properly emote it. Seems he doesn't really take stuff on board, as he just has so many different videos for different channels every day. Lad has literally forgotten more stuff than what a lot of people know.

That's handmaid's level of control. "Aunts" is what they called them

[@Chris-hx3om]

Well, that's probably one of the most depressing 'Simon' episodes I've ever watched. I actually think it's worse than Pedro Lopez. The thought of those women thinking they'll escape to a life better than the one they left, only to be sold as slaves, sex or otherwise, is just horrific. And when those who do escape find out they are just dropped into 'modern' life and effectively abandon, I just can't imagine it.

[@allanmoger1838]

The defectors I know that actually escaped of their own accord, not just with a parent, are seriously strong and driven people. If you think they don’t get much help in South Korea, they get even less in the US where they don’t even speak the language. The slack is often taken up by churches, and that doesn’t always go well as predators use the church as cover for their abuse. Most don’t go to Korea Town in LA either, they go all over as there are Korean communities, and Korean churches in most major cities. The three NK women I know best are a qualified professional golf instructor, an online nutrition business owner and a brick and mortar beauty business owner. Their drive to succeed, given even a hint of opportunity, is a lesson to us all.

[@julianaylor4351]

The North Korean regime told their people to have more children recently. How can you when you're starving or short of money, all the time, or being disposed of at a whim? If you look at North Korea from space at night, it's like the Sahara Desert, very few lights are on.

[@curtisevans8413]

Meanwhile South Korea is flooded with artificial lights, it a very obvious contrast.

[@kevinmcqueenie7420]

If I was the leadership of a country and knew for a fact that people were prepared to risk death for themselves and their families just to get out, I'd think long and hard about what kind of government we were. But I guess that is one of the reasons why I'm not a totalitarian monster. And I can't imagine escaping that nightmare only to end up basically isolated with PTSD because the SK government likes the propaganda victory but doesn't want to support former DPRK citizens. On the subject of the new channel, hope it works out like Warographics or Into the Shadows, rather than xplrd (RIP)! Love watching you grow Simon and team(s). Please keep on with what you do.

During the Cold War defectors from the Soviet Block would occasionally defect back. They could not handle that no one was telling them what to do. They couldn't take the freedom to have to use their time without direction. So this is understandable for Koreans.

[@codyaragon93]

Sounds like a common complaint I hear from some US military vets. Strange how the structure and comfort of just obeying orders is an ideal life for some and absolute torture for others.

[@michinwaygook3684]

Yes life for a North Korean defector that defects to South Korea can be difficult. It really isn't their best choice for defection First the dialect is different (most Konglish is foreign to them) and their own dialect can make them stand out. Second most South Koreans start their education at childhood, so it is extremely difficult to get a good education in South Korea if you are not born and raised there. Third they have a huge learning curve to overcome - adapting to a highly competitive society, learning the ins and outs of a job market foreign to them, learning many customs and norms that are foreign to them, etc. Fourth North Koreans can face discrimination from South Koreans, not something typically talked about. Lastly if a North Korean makes the mistake of defecting to South Korea they are fresh out of options when it comes to going anywhere else. South Korea automatically accepts all North Korean defectors so once in South Korea they lose the ability to use their refugee status anywhere else. A North Korean that knows better will try to defect to some other country (i.e. United States, Canada, Australia or somewhere in Europe). A rich, developed immigrant nation is generally better for them than South Korea, despite some added challenges.

[@zionbaptiste1292]

But what's the difference with the US, Canada, Europe etc? Isn't South Korea just as developed as them? Plus, at least SK speaks Korean, even though it is a different dialect isn't it still Korean? Much better than having to learn a completely new language like English, French etc. I'm genuinely curious.

[@kimjung-un8204]

​@zionbaptiste1292 iirc a lot of it is that south Koreans aren't as accepting of the North Koreans. While places like Europe, Canada and the usa are more accepting of foreign people.

[@michinwaygook3684]

@@zionbaptiste1292 South Korea is an extremely competitive society. Education / career starts at childhood. Typical day for a Korean child is go to school and at the end of the school day go to cramming school. The child than rinses and repeat. Like the U.S. South Korea has a standardized test except their test is even more important, a child's future hinges on it. Everybody is competing for that top 1% spot. I know a Korean friend that was in the top 4% and that wasn't good enough he told me. The competitive nature never stops. South Koreans work some of the longest hours in the world and have some of the highest suicide rates and highest rates of depression. They also have the lowest birth rate in the world. Imagine being thrown into this system as an adult. Crazy hard to succeed. North Koreans are coming from a very different society. It is like night and day for them. They are better off in a European country where things are more relaxed and laid back. Also they will get more help in a socialized European country. Yes they will have to learn a new language, but they will have a better chance at a good job and a good life. I wouldn't recommend the U.S. or Canada, but I think defecting to a Scandinavian country would be better for them. Me and my Korean wife agreed that if we had a child he would not get a South Korean education (we want our child to have a childhood).

[@zionbaptiste1292]

@michinwaygook3684 Ohh, now I see. Thanks for the response 👍🏾

[@NickSteffen]

@@zionbaptiste1292 Another factor is immigration. South Korea doesn’t have many immigrants and society isn’t really built to handle it. The other countries have a lot of immigration. So tolerance of foreign customs, schools to help people learn and communities to engage with are much more prevalent. They have a lot of built in structures for handling new people that non-immigrant nations do not have. Additionally in these other countries there are immigrant Korean communities. It might sound weird but a South Korean and a North Korea who immigrate to the US have a lot more in common than a North Korean living in South Korea and the Koreans there. It’s easier to establish a community.

This channel is new and small enough to go unnoticed by NK, so Simon feels comfortable talking about them here.

[@Arcticiris]

I’m a simple man, I see Simon, I subscribe.

[@Simonvnnn]

Simon, mate, from another Simon from the UK who has spent a decade living in Vietnam, this was dark and shocking 😢

[@munkeyhunk]

*Simon opens the dictionary and throws a dart* “It landed on Places! What kind of channel can we do with that?”

[@emilynixon5437]

[@acidblue8111]

Simon Whistler, the one man MCN. Great Job Fact Boy!

[@aellipsis]

I’m it a fan of the side profile shots. It takes you out of “the conversation”.

[@TerribleMuriel]

I am incredibly excited about the new digs. PS I love you. -Muriel Heslop

[@cheekyb71]

[@kudacharez4710]

Kim watching this video turns to his generals, and says "You know now what to do."

[@laserbeam1620]

Another great channel! #325!! We need an Automotive channel from you also please!

[@blinard1]

This channel reminds me of when Ron Burgandy iw screaming "more graphics!". Sometimes less is more guys!

[@RamboVee]

Whoohoo!!! New channel!! More opportunities to indulge my Simon crush. Swoon Good luck with your newest channel. Not that you’ll need it xx

[@nothere4740]

One day I’m gonna open this app and all the channels will be Simon

Wild to go through the whole process of escaping and willingly go back.

I don't know if your sound guy checks audio using a subwoofer but it was borderline unwatchable till I shut my subwoofer off. Every time you touched the table there was a loud boom. Maybe isolate the microphone off of the desk? I imagine it's not something most people will hear, but I watch KZbin on my TV. I just wanted to let you know.

[@jacksonstarky8288]

I found this channel yesterday. Enjoying it as much as Astrographics and Warographics. Will there be a People channel as well?

[@JenFoxworth]

Holy shit it's a new Simon channel, how'd I miss that?! XD

[@ladyyyhokage]

jesus how many channels does simon have 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i'm not complaining but GAHTDAMN! man's is everywhere.

[@maybeplease88878]

I like this new channel

[@Blox363]

Simon the Mic is picking up the vibration every time you touch the desk/table causing a thud on the audio….made worse for headphone users. (Great Content BTW, just a bit distracted by the thuds) 🫡

[@matthewschilling1289]

Holy s**t, you made another cool channel, subscribed.

[@abefroman9110]
