I hate when people complain about relatively minor things and then say "my suffering is important, it's not a competition". They just need to think about the positives and how lucky we are to be born in our situations, and to make the best of it. Everyone who has a right to complain, knows that it could be worse.

"Fish in the water don't notice the water they swin in" is such a profound and sad way to describe the things shes seen in her life and how it was all (and still is there) just so normalized I deeply feel her story, I was adopted during the one child policy regimen in china, i was told my mother gave me away because it either that or leave me to die and she refused, this is all i know of her im grateful for her brave sacrifice for my life, thankfully i was much to young to understand what was really happening at the time and very little about my birth family myself, I wish to find them one day and they would want to see me, I hope this woman has a strong support system in her life and a professional to speak to her and hear her, I wish her the most peaceful life for the rest of her days ❤

Her life is a testament to what a savior & beautiful country this is and saved so many that are thriving Americans today including yourself, unless your Chinese or some foreign bot trolling comments which it seems. I wonder how much you are paid to leave nasty remarks every other comment but it's clearly ineffective. Interesting how the left didn't hate this woman or spread false allegations /slander her, until she spoke in favor of decent values & praising America, our core founding principles & freedoms, etc. Now it's a full fledged criminal harassment campaign to curtail her rights and shut her up, discredit her, it's rather pathetic!! You were not there. None of us were. She speaks of details and genuine quality. There are those that have reason to be bitter and claim ridiculing things against her. Hollywood is the epicenter of embellishment!! Who are you to judge this lady when you have no clue and didn't witness her life unfolding. People can go from being middle class (they weren't "rich" even for NK standards), to dirt poor and starving, that's very easily done in a nation that doesn't recognize human rights. She embodies & symbolizes the essence of what a genius concept America was and it's immense, unique beauty & the gifts it gives to the world and how it's changed world history forever. Many people on this planet sought refuge here and wouldn't have lived had it not been for America to migrate to. Your hate is misdirected.

*As a child, did she really see a woman publicly executed for watching a Hollywood movie?* She made the claim that she watched a person executed in public for watching a foreign film. Sometimes she says it is James Bond other times a South Korean film. Other North Korean defectors have also said that public executions were stopped several years prior to that date.In a response to Mary Ann Jolley's artcle which exposed her lies & fabrications, Yeonmi denied that she ever claimed such a story : UPDATE: *A Response from Yeonmi Park to Mary Ann Jolley's article in Diplomat* "I want to thank Mary Ann Jolley for caring so much about the terrible situation in North Korea that she would point out any inconsistencies in my quotes and how my story has been reported. Much of the time, there was miscommunication because of a language barrier. I have only learned English in the last year or so, and I’m trying hard to improve every day to be a better advocate for my people. I apologize for any misunderstandings. For example, *I never said that I saw executions in Hyesan. My friends’ mother was executed in a small city in central North Korea where my mother still has relatives (which is why I don’t want to name it).* *But is it true? Did she never say that? Was it a misunderstanding, the so-called language barrier? Or she is just a fabricator and liar! Let us see :* *When she was nine years old, Park was forced to attend the execution of her classmate’s mother*. Her crime? She had lent a *SOUTH KOREAN* movie to a friend. The townsfolk were gathered in a large STADIUM to watch the punishment. *“She got killed in front of us,”* said Park, now 20 years-old. *“I was standing next to her daughter - my whole school had to go.”* www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/26/north-korea-defector-titanic *When she was nine, she was forced to watch her best friend's mother being executed on the STREET before her eyes.* "She was a very nice, gentle mother," she said. "But I knew that lady. She was not that bad. She was not going to destroy our country," she said. *She has witnessed it many times as a child, when her mother used to give her a piggyback ride to the big stadium to watch the public executions, considered a 'celebration' which everybody is under orders to attend.* Along the route, victims are beaten with sticks and a rock placed in their mouths so that all their teeth are broken. Once they get there, they are shot three times - in the knee, the chest and the head. Nobody, not even the closest of family members, is permitted to show any sign of grief. (In an interview with the Irish Independent,Nicola Anderson October 17 2014) www.independent.ie/irish-news/one-young-world/why-is-the-world-allowing-a-holocaust-to-happen-again-brave-north-korean-shares-harrowing-story-of-escape-30673558.html *She watched as her friend’s mother was executed.* ....The woman stood accused of watching a contraband *James Bond DVD* and leant it to friends-a crime Yeonmi herself had committed, and one that could only be redeemed in death. It’s more than a decade later and she calmly recalls the shots ringing out, followed by an explosion of blood. Oct. 31, 2014 www.thedailybeast.com/how-titanic-helped-this-brave-young-woman-escape-north-koreas-totalitarian-state *And yet she repeats this lie many times in following years aftar 2014,* an example : The 27-year-old said she was regularly forced to watch people being executed including her best friend's mum who was killed for watching a western movie. Apr 14 2021 www.the-sun.com/news/2698545/kim-jong-un-hitler-nukes-china-enabler/ "Park does not spare any detail of the atrocities and injustices she endured on her journey to freedom. *After watching her friend’s mother publicly executed* and then herself surviving surgery without anaesthetic or painkillers, Park knew she must try and escape." (Yeonmi Park recounts her harrowing journey to freedom at an event hosted by Walk Free and Perth USAsia Centre. 18 FEB 2019 ) www.walkfree.org/news/2019/yeon-mi-reminds-australia-that-our-freedom-isnt-universal/ NOTE : As a bad liar she changes the place of executaion : street va stadium. And the film : South Korean film vs. James Bond film!! Furthermore , she made up another lie in this regard : “There were different levels of punishment,” says Park. “If you were caught with a Bollywood or Russian movie you were sent to prison for three years but if it was South Korean or American you were executed.” www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/26/north-korea-defector-titanic

Nobody knew the reasons why people were taken away. But it could affect everyone. Therefore, in every house, for such an occasion, a bag with essentials was hung by the door. Once they came for me. As a teacher, I was taken to the camp to teach Chinese and teach propaganda songs to prisoners. The cell had a concrete floor, walls and five video cameras on the ceiling. 20 people huddled on 16 square meters. The prisoners were wearing uniforms and handcuffs. They were all shaved baldly. In the camp, I also worked in a hospital, where I witnessed how prisoners were given medicines unnecessarily, maybe experiments were being carried out to, for example, make women infertile. At one of the meetings, she witnessed how the guards raped a young woman in front of 200 prisoners. Anyone who showed sympathy for her himself became the object of humiliation and torture in a "black" room with an electric chair, where I was also tortured until I lost consciousness. Since I visited the camp, sometimes I cannot even climb onto the bed myself. In the cell, I slept too long on the cold concrete floor, and now I have rheumatism. At 43, I became a sick person, although I was completely healthy before the camp, ”says the book“ Die Kronzeugin ”(The Main Witness) by German writer Alexandra Kavelius and Sairagul Sauytbai about the“ camps ”in Xinjiang. Quanguo has turned the entire region into a police state with checkpoints between cities and within cities - between districts, with a network of cameras with facial recognition, with mandatory ID scanning to enter houses and shopping centers. Everywhere - policemen in uniform and civilian clothes. Forced organ harvesting in China is carried out in relation to representatives of ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities detained in different regions, and they are often not told the reasons for detention or there is no arrest warrant, "- says the conclusion of 12 experts, the most popular organs for seizure are the heart , kidneys, liver and cornea of ​​the eye, and this measure is applied to members of the banned Falun Gong movement, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians.

*DANCING INTO THE TUNE OF THIS WOMAN : Trash propaganda produced for imperialism and profit.* Yeonmi Park is an actress hired by the US deep state and she has just proven her usefulness , they would likely prefer a more coherent testimonial, but as long as the sheeple eat it up .... . This young lady is being used by political organizations to fearmonger, with an agenda at play here . If you believe all her stories, you are either naive or simple too stupid. There is no way of getting almost any reliable information about North Korea, due to their heavy isolation. Or if there is sources, they are from South Korean and USA media, which either guess or invent things. She's an actor and this channel is meant for spreading American anti-communist propaganda, she is just a Yankee paid liar, the worst is that she does the actor thing very well. Because someone pays money to them and educate them how to speak in public. A VERY well paid North Korean defector. The CIA has directly funded stuff like this before, why do you uncritically trust in it? Again what if the real reason these people can't keep their stories straight is because they are liars and frauds motivated by the desire to obtain money and publicity? Or alternatively, what if they work for some organization or agency hostile to the DPRK, like the CIA, or the Adam Smith Institute? She's supported by the SK intelligence agency to tell a horrific story. It gets policy makers and the international community to sanction NK. Her story has been debunked. She does it for the fame and attention. This is really no different than the story of WMDs, babies thrown from incubators in Kuwait. She gotten a lot of mileage out of this shame. There's a reason viewers are attracted to crazy bizarre exposures about North Korea, regardless of if they're actually true or not. That woman appeared on Valuetainment, Lex Friedman, & Joe Rogan at around the same time (classic fake propaganda spouted by that annoying puppet lyce ducet. This would have been *carefully orchestrated from the beginning making sure the defector had been paid handsomely to tell her lies about the DPRK.* ). Nothing wrong with interviewing people, her claims were accepted without any skepticism on all those shows. If you watch subsequent Joe Rogan episodes, he uses this sleezy interview as "evidence" to push his "China is evil" argument (ie. war with China). Lex Friedman could care less about American-induced famine in Yemen & economic sanctions on poor countries, but started crying & using her claims of famine as proof Kim Jung Un was "evil" (ie. no peace deals with Asians). It's sad because this submissive shilling undermines their claims of being "independent". Controversy sells, but he is missing the point of what the true face of imperialism really is. It is typical behavior from people of settler colonist nations. Little culture means little acceptance of what's going on in the world. The more sensationalist lies that she tells will bring her more profit, though she’s taking a risk by becoming less believable and triggering more people to see through her bullshit with each story she tells. She’s truly a despicable soulless demon whose only real interests in life are money and plastic surgery.

[@tgo007]

Without a doubt North Korea is an oppressive hell hole, but Yeonmi Park is not considered a reliable source on the matter. She repeatedly contradicts herself and other defectors have plainly stated that her stories are often exaggerations or just downright fabrications. Yeonmi Park herself has had to retract a lot of her own claims, stating that it was due to poor memory because she was very young (she defected when she was 13 years old) or because of language barriers. Initially upon converting to Christianity, she claimed that her escape from North Korea involved climbing tall mountains in freezing -40 degree Celcius without any winter clothing and that she managed to do so because of the warmth and love of Jesus Christ. Of course it turns out there aren't any mountains between where she lived and China, it's mostly flat. She then said what she meant was that they had to climb over hills and didn't know the word for hills in English... but this contradicts the fact that she made those same claims in Korean, her native language. Her own mother, who defected with her, has come out and said that many things that Yeonmi claims are just untrue, such as that she witnessed a public execution of her best friend's mother for watching James Bond (which never happened and Yeonmi has had to retract that statement), that she was forced to eat grass due to starvation (her mom says that was never the case and that their family was actually well off, at least by North Korean standards) and overall just other bogus claims that are not only unsubstantiated by other defectors, but often times contradict her own claims and can verifiably be debunked. So why would she fabricate this? Because she is being incentivized to do so by right-wing think tanks (such as the Atlas Foundation) who are using her as a pretty and innocent face to spread propaganda that left leaning politics will result in a North Korean style authoritarianism. Why should we care if some of what she's saying is exaggerated? Surely North Korea is a horrible place, so what if she's taking certain liberties? Because she's not the only defector, but she's one of the few defectors anyone will listen to because she's willing to bend the truth, create a sensational story that causes the audience to suspend critical thinking, and then when the audience is in a heavy emotional state, push the political agenda that she is being funded to promote. The sad truth is that unless people are willing to create heavily sensationalized narratives of their experience, then no one really bothers to listen to them, so the only people who get attention are the ones willing to play loose with the truth.

[@surenaanerus7387]

*"How can anyone think this clown is telling the truth."* Yeonmi is a paid, celebrity "witness." The Diplomat did a write up of her about how her stories do not line up, and they have the receipts. It’s is fabricated, unfortunately. I know that perspective is difficult and unfair, it seems, but that’s the point of such a story perfectly tuned over time to appeal to your emotions. If you need more proof look at the Greyzone video with Max Blumenthal, and another further report he did previously. There is a literal TV program in South Korea where North Korean defectors compete with their lavishly embellished escape stories to win.. it’s a game show. Yeonmi Park has personally made almost $1,000,000 telling her story. Her story changes massively. One of the most crucial changes in her story from the initial tv interview is that her father was initially with her when she left N.K.. later she said it was only her mom that was with her, in order to weave in the part where her mom is raped to save her from that assault- a much more heart-wrenching progression. Says she was poor but slips up by saying she grew up with her mum having chanel handbags🥴....how can anyone think this clown is telling the truth. Anything she says is suspect, as she could easily be grifting Rightwing media. The story is she stole other defectors stories. She was a high ranking person in DPRK (according to one version they claimed) and did escape (probably through bribes). She steals other people’s stories to make her story sound more sensational. you will always see someone trying to be over dramatic and get attention and fame by making the story 100 times worst. Did she go through horrible things? We don't know. Did she use other peoples stories and exploit them as her own? Yes, 100 percent. She's definitely from North Korea and she definitely "escaped" but I'm pretty sure she's laying the story on thick because her whole career depends on it. It's her livelihood. She's Korean Elizabeth Holmes. She arrived here in South Korea and used the refugee system in every way, got free education, numerous plastic surgeries including breast implants, appeared on TV to find a rich man, failed, then rehearsed years for the show targeting foreign countries. Even in the DPRK itself she acted and behaved like a spoiled criminal individual, so it's just natural she bragged about it in corrupt, americanized South Korean reality shows, and even more in the US itself. No surprise... However, she does need to be exposed, and the way to do that is to present actual evidence of her family and individual past in the DPRK, her path in South Korea and her natural puppet role in the service of US propaganda in exchange for the fame and money she always craved. Very simple. They never escaped to Mongolia. Her mother never raped, and they were never kidnapped/captured as sex-slaves! And her father never was or died in China! The whole story/ her book is pure fabrication. She lied about her father's death, and got exposed by North Korean government, so she had to admit it (in silence! few people were paying attention to it). Here you go : "But North Korean government came after me and described me that I didn't suffering in North Korea and also they said that my father died in North Korea not in China, and they say that I was an very ambitious girl because he gripping ambitious extremely bad thing and they say you are an ambitious girl, and your father was a bad person, and your mom was immoral person...........But they didn't really come up with a like big thing *except my father died in North Korea* and my father's ashes were in China, and my mother went to China a few months ago and brought my father's ashes to South Korea."

[@surenaanerus7387]

*The market is huge for stories about NK that fit a certain narrative pushed by the imperialists* She seems compromised…… a CIA asset? She’s playing the game quite well. If you’re a minority who looks conventionally attractive and says the same talking points, the GOP and institutional right will hire them on the spot. There's an article about her from 2014 about her contradictions on the diplomat. Now the excuse made then was, Her language barrier with english. The problem with that statement is she told the same lies in Korean on South Korean TV which baffled the host of the show. The best part is she did a full 180 and when investigated, her real story came out. On a South Korean TV show Park Yeonmi told the audience that her family was doing extremely well and that her mother was wearing pants that ‘were all imported from Japan’ and added, ‘My mum even carried around a Chanel bag in North Korea.’ They didn't ask her to play any role, that's why it was a shocker to the South Korean public, She did a 180 on what they expected. They never propped her up to be privileged, that crap came out of her mouth after she became famous. So doing a 180 and asking your mom on networked TV "Am I really North Korean, these other people seem poor"!!! *But after she started being coached by a Seoul-based American anti-DPRK think tank Freedom Factory along with other right wing/pro imperialist Think Tanks / NGO's (Atlas Network, Oslo Freedom Forum, Human Right Fundation, etc) who hired/paid/taught her what kind of horror stories she should tell about the DPRK, her narrative completely changed.* That’s when she started claiming she was so poor that she had to survive eating grass, that she saw dead bodies floating in North Korean rivers (where she previously said to have had fun together with her friends), promoting how she was starved while saying she never was poor? and other gibberish. The host lost his composure and looked confused AF. Then having her mom says "oh those stories of her eating grass ect that never happened." HuH??? was the whole crowd, audience and hosts. She then became the media darling for several years and her new narrative turned out to be very lucrative for her. I also noticed that she talks a lot of crap about South Korea and says that she moved to America because they were oppressing her there. I think they were just catching on to her BS and she had to try lower hanging fruit - To be fair a lot of defectors struggle in South Korea due to discrimination, economic and social problems, etc. a fair amount even want to return to North Korea, and some have. However, I highly doubt Yeonmi faced anything remotely oppressive in South Korea, being a rich girl funded by every alphabet agency in America. It’s likelier that she said something stupid, the South Korean media picked up on it, called her out on her bullshit, and asked her who her CIA handlers are South Korea tends to be sympathetic towards North Korean defectors, especially if they are ardently anti-North Korea. However, Yeonmi’s story is so full of holes that the South Koreans do not take her seriously, nor do they respect her. *All she seems to do is make up grandiose stories to get more clickbait, and to promote a neocon agenda,* rather than actually helping North Korean refugees. Other defectors want nothing to do with her, and she has been reduced to making all of her content in English because she knows that no Koreans will ever take her seriously again, and that only Americans will believe anything she says (much like they believed Saddam ground people into burgers with a meat grinder and had nukes pointed at America). The money is to good to pass up, even if that means lying and embellishments. She is not the first to sell out, but so much was learned from watching her blatantly lie and try to cry without crying throughout the whole show. In a way it's good to have a liar on record when she gets exposed again.
