      @Koala Wrath What? Because South Korea is free, North Korea does not need to be free?! That doesn't make sense. I lived and worked in South Korea for 8 years. The South Korean people do have a lot to offer the world, much more than just K-Pop and Psy. And, so does anyone else if given the opportunity. You don't know...perhaps a North Korean could invent a cure for cancer, invent a new technology, discover something. But we will never know unless these people are given a chance. They deserve to live freely. It is heart-breaking to know there are millions of people living in concentration camps and we can't or won't stop it.

      @@devilsoffspring5519 I am sorry you feel that way. It is understandable with all the suffering we see in the world. It is hard to understand how God could allow that. I struggle with it as well. But, as a Christian, the Bible tells me that we live in a fallen world and that Satan is allowed to be the ruler of this world for now. Why? I don't know. I am sure in eternity, we will find out. Suffering is awful, but great revivals can come from it also. One of the biggest revivals happened when the Chinese people were greatly persecuted. Many underground churches were created and many were saved. Many experienced miracles. I sometimes lose my way in this world. Maybe you have lost your way. I hope you will open your heart a little to God and give Him a chance. Speak to Him and let Him show Himself to you. I know that I have experienced miracles. I also speak in tongues. God is real. Even scientists now agree that there is a divine creator. Satan and his devils are also real and I have had experiences with that also. But, I prayed for Jesus to protect me and He did and they went away. I even smelled the burning sulfur in my very clean, new apt. I don't smoke, I never had any visitors over, and the window wasn't open. But, it went away when I prayed to Jesus. I told my pastor about it and he said it was because I was reading books that had to do with the demonic world. The books were written by a Christian who had a near-death experience and experienced hell. Well, I stopped reading those books and gave them away...with a warning of my experience. It is concerning that you have a name like that on social media. I pray that you will ask Jesus to forgive you your sins and for Him to be your savior. Then, you can be God's offspring. You can be a child of God. You will have a great inheritance in heaven. The Bible says, "We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." And, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever should believe in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." See, it is so easy. You just have to believe. Sometimes it is hard to believe and we doubt. Did you know that even Job doubted? Sometimes doubting makes us question what we believe, and we wrestle with it, but then we have a clearer understanding of what we believe and why. I pray to God that you will have the faith to believe, to ask Jesus to be your savior, and to forgive you of your sins. Life is short my friend. I just found out that my cousin, who is in his mid-40s, has been sent home to hospice. He is given only 5 weeks to live. Make sure you know where you will be for all of eternity. God bless. ❤

    The recent chemical explosion in Beirut is an unfortunate example of why it is imperative to keep weapons of devastation out of the hands of unstable or corrupt governments such as North Korea and Iran.
    It's fairly clear that the lack of regulatory integrity and poor oversight caused the explosion to be so catastrophic (that type of scenario could have never played out even in a country like the US which tends to have less strict regulations).
    75% of France's electricity is generated by nuclear power. 5% of China's energy comes from nuclear power. I'm a lot more worried about China's 5% than France's 75%.

      lots of the items are produced by themselves. In a planned economy such as a communist one, it is not allowed and it is illegal to produce anything for commercial benefit, including grains, anything produced is planned by the state, so the state will tell a certain group of people to produce certain things. I'm from a communist country by the way.

    This woman is so educated, so intelligent, so driven, and so politically aware and yet can never run for president in the USA because our constitution wouldn't allow it. It's insane how no one in this country had ancestors truly "natural born" (outside of the indigenous groups), but have the nerve to demand a natural-born president. The constitution was definitely written by British Americans. They could run simply because they established it, even not being natural-born. Funny how that part is a portion of the Constitution. "No Person except a natural born Citizen, *or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution"* And this was established to protect the nation from foreign influence, when the most "foreign" people in the nation were the people who actually established the clause in the first place.
    After seeing how one system of government can be so ingrained in people that they become sheep, I am not afraid to question what goes on in my own government. Even its laws and systems.

      lindsey cashman - Who do you want to donate to? If you give money to the North Korean regime, you only support Kim Jong Un. I hope you mean that you want to donate to Yeonmi Park and the causes she knows will help the North Koreans.
      I'm intrigued by a South Korean gentleman I've heard of who is doing his best to enlighten North Koreans on how the rest of the world really is. He's launched hundreds (or maybe thousands) of balloons that carry DVDs and maybe books that tell the truth in the hopes that they reach the North Koreans. This apparently makes Kim Jong Un furious so some of them must be making it through and not just blowing out to sea. Maybe you could send him money if he needs more to keep this going? I'm not sure what Yeonmi Park would have to say about that.

    Yeonmi, some minor technical notes:
    Your sound levels are better now than in your previous videos - keep up the good work!
    On the down side, your lighting is still a bit off - you have minor shadows that would be eliminated with diffuse fill lighting. Some of the shadows are on your chest and shoulders, and some are on the wall behind you.
    You can sometimes find the lighting rigs used on Craigslist... another source for audio, video, and photography gear is B&H in New York City... their prices range from reasonable for an amateur up to full-on professional studio, so you will need to be budget conscious. They advertise on RUclips a lot, and claim to have experienced sales people who do many interesting A-V things themselves... Again, they're not the only source, just sometimes a good one...
    Also, you are getting a lot of reflections off of your face - your forehead and cheeks in particular.. you may need to adjust your makeup in addition to the lighting to achieve better balance. Powder maybe? I'm a straight guy, so what do I know about makeup??? ;)
