    Hello everyone :)
    Today was the day Sanghak and Kangyoo first met!
    We started shooting as soon as came in so they didn't get the chance to recognize each other at first!
    Sanghak didn't know he was from the North until he finished watching the video!
    Kangyoo got to share his story of how he escaped North Korea to Sanghak!
    Keep leaving us comments and suggestions, we really appreciate it.
    You can also get an easier reach via our instagram: / dimple_youtube
    Again, thank you for watching and we'll see you again next time!
    SANGHAK: hakku_in
    KANGYOO: bst202031

    Knowing about the mines and not caring really puts it into perspective the kind of hell he was trying to escape. I could be wrong but I doubt anyone from anywhere else on this earth would rather risk blowing up instead of just going back home.

      Yes; that was my thought, too. I remember it being all over US news. On CNN a couple of weeks later, there was a story about how doctors found a never-before-seen species of parasitic worm in the soldier's large intestine through scopes and other tests.

    • @IzzyKawaiichi
      @IzzyKawaiichi 2 года назад +135

      They know. But, I think most Koreans, unless they are actually soldiers, don't think about North Korea too much. Honestly, compared to the US, everyone here seems much more blasé about it. It's kind of like... let's say you live in a neighborhood that has a really creepy house with a bizarre tenant that doesn't get out much. A long time ago, you got involved in the feud between him and his neighbor about where the property line was, but you live on the other side of the neighborhood and only pass by if you want to know what he's up to now. You're convinced one day he could snap and set the whole neighborhood on fire. That's America.
      Meanwhile South Korea is the neighbor who has gone about renovating his house and basically ignoring the creep on everything except making sure he stays on his side of the fence. Sometimes one of his starving cats comes over to your house, so you take it in, rehabilitate and rehome it. Occasionally you might wake up in the middle of the night and hear weird noises coming from next door, and you just grumble in annoyance, rollover, and go back to sleep. Also, the nosy, paranoid guy from across the neighborhood keeps asking you what he's up to, and you kind of want to brush him off, but he did help you settle the property line dispute, so you just shrug indifferently and say "See for yourself" and go back to mowing your lawn.

    I wonder if a lot of the mines are duds by now? That might have saved him.
