Yeonmi Park | Alexis de Tocqueville Award | Gala for the Future of Liberty

[@hyperwarrior908]

Yeonmi Park is the definition of strenght, resilience and hope! The world and the people of NK should know her story. What she's been through at such a young age and where she is now today is probably one of the most powerful story of the 21th century! She's a survivor and there is nothing stopping her from achieving her dreams. Wish her the best!

[@rosemichelon103]

Idiot. No one here believes this piece of shit of north korean media. She's not a liar.

[@tim6200]

She is one of the bravest women I know. She has so much love for her people. I pray that God will put an end to the regime and free Nth Korea.

[@oscopin74]

I hope so too! But we shouldn't wait on God to make it happen.

[@narowalling]

I couldn't stop my tears listening, Yeonmi Park you are such a brave young women, I just pray that one day people in North Korea will experience freedom and democracy prevails.

[@aikishugyo]

Awesome to hear here that Ms. Park read Bastiat, Von Mises (and Friedman) as part of her self-education. What a powerful mind! Her father, may he rest in peace, he managed to pass on such a wonderful gift to his daughter, a legacy that anyone would be so proud of. I am so glad to see that Ms. Park values the substantial things in life, and is bringing this message to the world.

I can't stop crying :( I grew up in USSR only similar time was during stalin regime I heard from my grandmother . Stalin grew that NK bastard ! The first NK dictator he is Korean but was born in Russia , he was some soldier in red army! It is so sad , how few people can damage so many others. I went to school in 70 th - 80th I don't recall such craziness in my country .

I don't think she walked the entire Gobi Desert. As I recall they took buses across it. The last night they did walk to the Mongolian border. Still an amazing story.

[@elainaconstantinou8700]

a use ummmm... 🤔 theres no buses in the gobi desert, they walked across, it's in her own words and her story let her tell it, she should not be questioned on how she survived...... the will to live and she never gave up on hope!!!! She did walk across the gobi desert for her freedom

[@pay9011]

@@elainaconstantinou8700 You should read the book again. They took buses to the Chinese border town, near Mongolia. Their previously paid smugglers then escorted them to the first of the 5 or so fences they had to cross. Then they were on their own for that one night and into the next day, crossing the desert on foot.

Same way anyone learns a language. duh...

[@anariza123]

She watched English movies everyday

From something called the "internet".

By association and using her BRAIN. Especially when she lived in the ROK. Lots of Americans know Spanish. Just like lots of "Mexicans" know english.

Well, she is NOT a celebrity in Korea. Maybe she is something rare in the western world. I can say it as a korean

[@BlueMeaney49]

Maybe not to you...

[@TasteTtales]

@@BlueMeaney49 No, what she is saying is true. I have a friend who returned from the south who told me that she was featured in a TV show and that's basically it. It is not as if everyone looks around as she passes by. Most of the both Korean defectors are not popular in SK and they mostly lead the life of an average South Korean, no difference there.

[@dbsk06]

Not to undermine the atrocities she experienced but Wasn’t her family considered relatively privileged? Her dad was a party member and had enough resources to smuggle metal but eventually got caught.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

dbsk06 Yes you are right! She was part of the elite and living the good life until her dad got caught and fell from grace. If not then she would probably still be in North Korea enjoying her life and blind to the suffering of the rest of the people.

[@dbsk06]

A month later but there are serious indiscrepancies in her stories. The atrocities described are horrible no doubt but she definitely borrowed stories from when she worked in broadcasting in south Korea relaying stories of actual victims from North Korea. The part about her mom and her being sexually exploited is a lie. People get so emotional hearing her sensational lies that they don’t even use their brains to evaluate the veracity. There are lots of articles on line about her lying already. I am not saying it’s great in North Korea but she’s exploiting other people’s suffering for money

[@BlueMeaney49]
