Yeonmi Park | Escaping North Korea

[@YeonmiParkOfficial]

Thank you so much everyone for your heartfelt support!

[@hubrisnaut]

I don't know if you saw this but Rex Murphy said your interview with Jordan Peterson should be required for every school child in the West. I agree. It brought me to tears so many times because you not only had to struggle for freedom physically but you had to struggle with your own heart and mind. I greatly admire you for your courage and wisdom.

[@Dino7759]

That was a fantastic interview Yeonmi. I am so proud of you! We all need to fight everyday for Freedom...

[@ffs6158]

Thank you for retelling your story so often, always much love to you.

[@oakbottle9867]

You. Are. Amazing

[@grunthostheflatulent9649]

This woman is actually "stunning and brave"

…this might be the first time I’ve heard this phrase can be accurately used

[@petermathieson5692]

I have heard Yeonmi Park interviewed many times. This was, in my opinion, the best one yet. I think it has something to do with the skill and human decency of the esteemed John Anderson.

[@stevevider1097]

An extraordinarily young talented and courageous woman.

[@SKF358]

Yeonmi is brilliant.

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

I am SO STUNNED by this wonderfully intelligent, brilliant, well spoken, impressively thought through and beautiful woman! I will order her book in the AM and will read it avidly.

[@tpk182]

I've watched many Yeonmi interviews and most of them ask the same questions. It was good to see John ask some different questions and elicit some different answers and thoughts from Yeonmi. Well done. And keep up the fight Yeonmi

[@rhight]

A very important interview. Thanks as usual for asking all the right questions, Mr. Anderson. Ms. Park's experiences are so extreme that she puts life's basic questions in a level of prominence that the vast majority of people in the West never have to confront. God bless John Anderson and Yeonmi Park!

[@simonlakin5067]

An incredible interview. A truly remarkable woman.

[@fractalofathena2178]

What a fascinating interview! Thank both of you! ✨💚✨🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@JohnAndersonMedia]

Thanks for listening!

[@ai6mk897]

John, another great video. Was surprised that you were not selected to be a Senator. Politics works in mysterious ways, and it will be their loss is our gain. Sure hope that you will continue with the videos.

[@DonBrowningRacing]

Incredible story. Thank you for putting this knowledge opportunity together for me and for others.

[@sonia33603]

Thank you Mr. Anderson for having Mrs. Park on your show to share with the world her story 🙏

[@theharryopalmer]

Good work. Difficult not to cry listening to her. I must try to be better.

[@jimd8008]

Unimaginable what this woman has gone through and her reaction to what the west believes are 'hardships'. And of course, what we stand to loose in the western world.

[@maryannedelaney]

She is amazing!

[@yvettesaxon8572]

Thank you Yeomni, you have so much courage of conviction it was a real blessing to hear you speak.

[@johncheresna]

Thanks for having her on.

[@amerbur]

Thank you for standing for Freedom. You are a hero to me. I am ashamed that I have not fought hard enough in my country for freedom and for North Korea. I am 62 years old and have never seen the world and my fellow citizens in a darker place. I am a Christian. I pray that your heart will be protected and remain soft, that God will find your heart so that you can find peace, comfort, and joy even in this cruel and dark world. He will give you the strength to fight on. You were given this spot on earth for a reason which is higher than you now know.

[@lauriedmills7581]

Beautiful in every way. Truth is like that. Suffering has meaning esp when it highlights the chasm between good and evil. I am honoured to have heard Yeonmi speak. Thank you.

[@jbjoeychic]

I hope and pray that she is safe from harm and retribution from her enemies. Because she is a conservative she will get no help from the Biden administration at all. This is perilous times to be a conservative in America. I pray she has protection such as body guards !!

[@josephswafford7578]

Thanks..

[@frankvghn1955]

Yeomi is an inspiration to humanity it's people like her who have shaped the world for the better. I hope she lives a long happy life and thank you John for giving us the best interview yet.

[@tccco9738]

Her journey should be a movie and the last 10 minutes it could show snippets of her various interviews.

[@shootlightsout]

She has an beautiful and indomitable soul.

[@AndreComtois]

I'm still waiting for a film about people fleeing the evils of capitalism...

[@Toropetskii]

Can you think of any real-world examples? I can think of many who flee the city for the country, or move for economic opportunity - none who flee some arbitrary concept of capitalism as a source of evil.

[@Evertreynold]

Just buy a ticket and leave, Andre. No story there.

[@ffs6158]

@@Toropetskii Yes, it did happen. The New York Times, which has more blood on its hand than any lone dictator, wrote the following: [The soviet immigration] was the greatest wave of immigration in modern history...The Soviet Union will witness in the next few years an immigration flood comparable to the influx into the United States in the decade before the World War...It is only the beginning as yet of this movement, and the first swallows of the coming migration are scarce-but it has begun and will have to be reckoned with in the future....When the day comes that foreign workers here may write home and say, 'Things are pretty good here, why don't you come along? There are jobs for everybody and plenty to eat. Russia is not so bad a place in which to live and there are no lay-of s or short time and you get all that is coming to you'. 7 years later (tens? hundreds?) of thousands of Americans were sent to concentration camp and executed. The Forsaken by Tim Tzouliadis is highly recommended read about this. The early 20th century western elite was completely in lust with communism.

[@Toropetskii]

@@ffs6158 > The early 20th century western elite was completely in lust with communism well, that hasn't really changed. As for whether the people who went to the USSR in the early days could be considered to "flee" capitalism, well... I don't think they came from the lower classes, generally - they were academics and sheep, chasing a dream.

[@AquaMarine1000]

@@Evertreynold That comment is satire.

[@oakbottle9867]

God bless you 😊

[@louislemar796]

What sort of person thumbs down a video like this?

[@jeffball6108]

What an extraordinary human being. I have just ordered her book.. it sounds like 'In Order To Live' is a modern version of 'The Wild Swan' and 'The Gulag Archipelago', possibly worse if that's possible. It begs the question... what is it that drives the West's so called intellectual elite (namely our educators, politicians, journalists, bureaucrats and corporate leaders, etc) who surely must know of the horrors of communist regimes, as well as the fact that they are a direct result of socialist/Marxist idealism, to promote it? The answer of course is that the 'elite' believe they are the elite... and that is very frightening.

[@vicpower9394]

Dear John, Thank you for bringing this dreadful reality to our attention. Your humble but insightful credibility has brought the story of very brave human being to into its fullest perspective in a way that she could not. I arranged a talk on human trafficking at our men's shed recently. What was revealed at that talk was sickening but had to be said. This is worse. Keep up the good work. Vic Power

[@mariemanly3278]

I cannot imagine what these poor people are and have been going through. My world is enclosed with love, the love of people and above all the love of our creator.

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

What a great shame and a great disappointment. Tremendous loss for the country, John.

[@johnbean5094]

Another high calibre discussion. Subtitles would help as audio of guest not as crisp as John's.

[@JohnAndersonMedia]

Thank you John! We have now added captions. Click CC at the bottom right of the video to turn them on.

[@hubrisnaut]

@@JohnAndersonMedia Thank you John. I am pretty good at linguistics and I had to pay strict attention. I hope you get a chance to see her interview with Dr. Peterson. Parts where she described how much she struggled with her own humanity are incredibly moving.

[@rebeccaboth6351]

I’ve been listening to all these interviews and I’ve read her book I have come to the conclusion that these miraculous stories that are getting out there now because this doesn’t make any sense and it’s time for people to know the truth so collectively we can energetically help shift these areas on the planet that are incredibly unbalanced and unhealthy!❤

[@telemarq7481]

This is so harrowing

[@demonseren8558]

all in people in world support yeonmi park frredom.

[@RichardHerczeg]

John Anderson gives a voice to Yeonmi Park, a voice for freedom from a person who escaped a horrible authoritarian regime. This is an open Q&A dialogue. This stands in stark contrast to Kevin Rudd who used the same platform to give Wang Yi, China's Minister of Foreign Affairs an unfettered monologue. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHTPi6ylgppge80) The word "Despicable" is a strong adjective that Rudd deserves. Thank you Anderson. I can think of many adjectives that you may or may not deserve. I'll settle for "Relevant".

[@BlobTheSecondOrThird]

Out of all the people that have interviewed her, this seems to be the only one to have read her book.

[@notalmostfamous9773]

Did she say where or mom was or what happened to her? Sorry I might have missed that.

[@tpk182]

I believe she lives in South Korea where her sister is too i think. Yeonmi has her own channel and there are many interviews on youtube. Her book is also worth reading

[@nichelledemille2856]

So she said it herself if u do or say something wrong not only u are executed but your entire family and generations after are also executed........She's only thinkin of herself...

She has an amazing story and I want to believe her, but for some reason I suspicious of her stories.

[@Mike-br8zt]

Why?

[@jamesmwilliams1]

I’ve followed her story for a month now, I believe her What makes you suspicious?

[@charlesfu7586]

Being in my sixties, forty years living in American, not only I trust her story, but also see and feel clear danger of the west falling in to totalitarian ...

[@evolymasu4876]

@JustSomeLady You're free to go to N Korea and live there. Bet you would not last 24 hrs.

[@tominpuertorico1689]

@@evolymasu4876 I was waiting for someone to say that. Not only is she free to go, i hope she does. She sounds like a hired troll from China or N. Korea.

[@nichelledemille2856]

I think that she is selfish... She is not thinking about her family and neighbours back home who probably were sent to the camp to live horrible day to day lives because of her escape... And she is on KZbin building an audience and not focussing on tryin to see if her family is alive or suffering.

[@tyronegooch5251]

Terrible interview. He doesn't ask questions but make statements that she affirms as scripted. The slavery analogy is very poor. The descendants of slaves don't control the marketplace or anything in society. Also, something like around one and a half million former slaves died of malnutrition in the USA after emancipation. So a democratic society wasn't embracing them into it. Also, the civil war was not about slavery or freeing them. It was a result. John Wilkes Booth assaniated Lincoln because he said he might let the slaved who fought for the Union have the right to vote. My goodness??? On one hand she says you cant know love but towards the leader Kim, then she says she loved her mother. She later says you can't know compassion. Which is it? Also, why would someone read Animal Farm today from that country? Something about her story seems very unauthentic. Constructed to sell. Intended to grow a following. She uses to many of the right trigger words and analogies that appeal to a particular audience. She's learned very well the marketplace of pandering. I'm calling total fake what she is presenting. Her story may be true, may but her perspective and talking points is all fake. She's more western then most westerners. well done.
