@@kyla6538 The fact that her leg was injured and swelling made her excuses much more believable, so when the taxi driver (who was a spy), saw how swollen it was, he instantly believed what she was saying and even drove faster to take them to the destination. Therefore, the fact her leg was injured and that she was able to speak Chinese, saved both hers and the brokers lives. Since, if they were caught and found to be Koreans, they'd be sent back to Korea

@@blueskye3031 North Korea may be a repressive totalitarian regime where food and electricity are sparse, but all of these defectors, when they cross over to South Korea, they are put in a prison facility, where the South Korean NIS coerces them into getting rid of their NK citizenship, then sends them to school which has 24/7 anti NK propaganda. They are then offered money on talk shows to talk bad about NK and often exaggerate their "human rights" violations. South Korea also has a law which mandates constant propaganda against North Korea, aka "National Security Act" of 1984, and it also prevents others from talking about South Korean war crimes. Constant lies, the likes of Kim Jong Un feeding his uncle to the dogs, or that people ate other people during the Arduous March, are constantly spread with the purpose of discrediting and destroying NK. Why do you think there are hundreds of North Koreans that return home? Or some that exit and return to NK multiple times? Just use your head bro.

I loved hearing about the school picking up and dropping off, and then family dinner time, it really touched me, you know? That is also the best, best part of my day. I love to take my little daughter to her school, saying hi to the other parents and kids, and then coming back in the afternoon to get her, we go home, take our dog for a walk, talk about her day. It's magic for me. I cried a bit when I heard her talking about these things. These things are so precious. They should be for everyone. But if you don't know how lucky you are to have this, I think you take it for granted. It's human nature, but it's frustrating to me when I hear parents complaining about how they have to get up early in the cold and take their kids to school. I love every second of that. I don't care if it's cold, I just put an extra sweater on. It's the happiest part of my day to day life. All I want is to be with her. To see her grow and enjoy all that a good life has to offer. Our children are our gifts, they are everything about us, just better. How could you not love raising them, every second of it? It makes me so sad that her valuable life was wasted by this oppressive government for as long as it was. It's not right. She has so much love to offer the world. I'm so glad she eventually got out for good, but her youth was taken by these monstrosities posing as humans. It makes me so angry. Regular people in decent countries don't know how lucky they are. And it should be like that. Everyone should take a decent life for granted to some extent. Nobody should describe simple, everyday life as something profound

The 'why' is simple. Because of you! Sorry, that was just for dramatic effect. 😅 Because of people like you, me and the majority who watch. Our hearts go out to these people and we admire their stories. We may even have a crisis moment where we feel like you just did. "DAMMIT, THIS ISN'T RIGHT!!!" "SURELY 'WE' NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS!!!" (But who is we? The 'we' that could aren't interested.) Then we realise that ultimately we are powerless to do much about it as individuals and get back to distracting ourselves with anything and everything we can. We embrace hobbies over charity. Waste our spare time instead of use it to do some good. Because we've been poisoned against the idea of helping anyone, especially anyone outside of our own culture. Look after number one, right? Also we're trained by media from birth that corruption, murder, greed, betrayal, spite and more are all natural, acceptable parts of being human. We're desensitised to atrocity before we've got a grasp on the world. So we bury our heads, exert some control the tiny parts of our lives that we can and make the most of it. And we work our asses of to be so distracted, funding the lives of the people who make it so. "Success" is literally measured by how much we contribute to what we know is a corrupt and disgusting system. Regardless of where you're from there is truth to this. I'm not aware of any government that isn't entirely corrupt in one way or another. And I'm absolutely no exception to any of it yet. I need to be better, but I've barely scratched the surface if I'm honest. So I'm not judging or criticising anybody here. Mere observations. Food for thought maybe.

@@uppitywoman3647 You're absolutely correct. Racism is used as a deus ex machina term in the US. Here in Germany, racism is called out a lot less. Noone would call you racist without proper reason. We don't have the problems that exist in the US with black and mexican gangs for example. This also contributes to the fact that racism isn't a big thing here. It's a very fine line, because police officers are told that they can't judge people by the color of their skin, yet, their experience is something completely different. The fix to this problem would be free, readily available education, health insurance and (in order to hurt the cartels) the controlled legalization and governmental monitoring of drugs I'd say. Racism is a self-increasing problem. If there is racism, the people who suffer from it are at a disadvantage. If you're at a disadvantage because of your origin or color of skin, you tend to not socialize with other ethnicies and you may become frustrated with society, which lowers the inhibition for crime. This in turn makes the people who were racist to begin with even more racist and the circle goes on and on. It can only be broken by showing everyone that everyone cares. Yes, I think there is more racism in the United States than in Germany for example, but it's not entirely on the white population. There's two sides to this problem and it needs to be resolved by getting both sides to abolish their beliefs and actions and find a way to create a society in which not the color of the skin, but the personality defines how the person is seen by others. It's a long way, not only in the US, but also all over the world, but atleast we may dream of how that world might be, when mankind realized that it needn't be its own enemy.

The Lady Escaped NK twice!!! Also sitting here speaking English! Her third language! Amazing woman! The love for her child gave her strength, and she’s grateful and thankful for living in the U.K.! How lovely! I’ve watched so many testimonies fromNorth Korean defectors and it’s astounding how brutal, their lives are... it’s the worlds biggest prison camp! And to think there’s people in the West praising communism...

it has nothing to do with communism. please if you are at all open minded understand that. them calling themselves socialist is similar to the witch burning inquisitors calling themselves christian. communism is about the opposite of what nk represents, it's about a classless society where everybody is equal in rights and free. you might call it utopian, but if you equate it with the north korean regime, you are buying THEIR propaganda.

@@iwontgiveyoumyinformation8895 In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engles talk about something called dictatorship of the proleteriat, where a totalitarian entity seizes all means of production by forcibly nationalizing all private companies. It looks like you are the one who needs to read up on actual communist literature. Many commies also lie about Marxism not being violent, and attributing violence to Leninism and mostly Stalinism. They're wrong again. Marx was indeed in favor of violent revolution and forcible seizure of private property.

I have a grandfather who escaped from North Korea due to religious persecution. It breaks my heart to hear this story, but it also gives me hope. Koreans are an incredibly strong group of people, I remember hearing stories from my dad of the kinds of things they would do to you if you tried to escape (he likely heard it from my grandfather) and it's appalling. God bless you Ms. Jihyun, and let's all please pray for brothers and sisters still trapped in NK.

Me too!! I was thinking that! I always wonder at people when they say we should never forget lest it happens again and history repeats itself...but it is happening! And nothing is being done. I always wonder what Israelis think about this...like do they try to support bringing down the North Korean regime, or do they try to assist defectors in any small way they can? Truly all civilized countries should be doing this, but in particular,as people who have direct relatives, living or dead, who lived and struggled and died in these concentration camps I wonder on their views in particular...

Not trying to be rude but she specifically said that as Korean defectors they could not be outside, they didn't necessarily travel during the day, but when they traveled in the dark they could be caught so they had to be in vehicles to get around, like the taxi she mentions. They were driving in mountainous areas, not scaling a mountain.
