I had to clap for this guy. What a badass. It's crazy that this cartoon-ish country, North Korea, even exists. It reminds me of Latveria, or an Orwell novel.
For those who are interested in more insight into the origiins and fundamentals of racial ideology and culture of mainly North Korea as a state, but also Koreans in general, I recommend reading "The Cleanest Race" by B. R. Myers!
Koreans come on 25.000 its not even that much. I thought it would be hundred of thousands already. just help these guys. try to imagine how lonely they must feel and what life they have left on the other side of that border.
they get 100,000 dollars per person after they complete "assimilation training." does any other western country give that much money to refugee immigrants?
Being South Korean, it's already hard as hell for citizens of South Korea to get jobs let alone a defector with no educational or background experience. Can't really agree with him in saying the south doesn't care for the defectors, the competition for jobs in South Korea is insane.
If what he said is true then this guy is one of wealthy 1% of North Korean capital resident. 99% of North Korean defectors who risked their lives escaping North would dare not say that they would return back. Korean government does well at assisting the defectors financially and helps them settle into the South Korean society. Compare to the immortal things they had to do to survive, they call South a paradise. This guy is trying to make a political statement and might even have ties with the North.
respect man and stay strong you know its hard you've been in a lot o shit and you still alive, stay determined and make smart decisions... hope north koreans and any other nationalities in their own country get human normal like rights.
this guys says hes willing to sacrifice himself but why did they help a govt member to begin with? does he have nothing to do with there concentration camps
Why do they have to say they're defectors from North Korea when they try to get a job ? Can't they just lie a bit and not talk about this to the headhunters ?
I'm not intimately familiar with how one applies for jobs in South Korea, but in the US, when you apply for a job, you're required to give your social security number, and most employers want to do a basic background check using your driver's license or state ID. I would presume that South Korea handles employment in ways that also require a state ID and possibly other documentation. Beyond that, South Koreans distrust North Koreans, and defectors are often treated with suspicion. While South Korea has all the reason in the world to distrust North Korea, this suspicion unfortunately often extends to individuals, and not just the state itself.
Just get a job. Don't do that it's so not worth it. And just don't tell them you're a defector! Or if they ask tell them how happy you are to be in a country where you can actually go and get what you want to eat and not have to starve! 그냥 일을. 그렇게 가치가 없어 그렇게하지 마십시오. 그리고 당신이 탈북자있어 그들에게하지 않는다! 아니면 그들이 요구하는 경우에 당신은 당신이 실제로 가서 먹고 굶어 할 필요가 없게 원하는 것을 얻을 수있는 국가로 얼마나 행복한 그들에게 말해!
what the hell?? after k pop plastc surgery episode is VICE once again making papagenda agianst s korea??? from my understanding s korea is working very hard to help north korean's that live in s korea soo what exactly is this deal here????does west want to two korea to keep remian divided ???meaby is it only real choice for s korea to unify in the future is to built a nuke bomb???
Basically all of his most distant relations and friends were stripped of all property and sent to penal labor prison camps until death for his fleeing North Korea. His self-sacrifice is the only thing he can really do to redeem himself in any kind of ethical or karmic sense. His choices brought great suffering, and now his choices can potentially relieve much suffering. It is a complex and tortured decision he faces.
This man is actually very accurate at how south koreans behave.
I had to clap for this guy. What a badass. It's crazy that this cartoon-ish country, North Korea, even exists. It reminds me of Latveria, or an Orwell novel.
it's unfortunate but it is clear and undeniable that in this world, someone always has to die first before things change.

maybe he could open a food cart and make his own money
Damn that's sad...
Its sad that North Korean defectors receive such negativity from the south when many people from the south have loved ones stuck in the north
Looks like more peace and harmony around the world. lol
What about us youtubers? :(
Was pretty sure south Korea welcomed people from north with open arms and helped them out a lot... hmm
Is someone telling this guy that this is a really bad idea?
send these people to canada
this guys says hes willing to sacrifice himself but why did they help a govt member to begin with? does he have nothing to do with there concentration camps

Also employers and employees would recognise his accent as being from the north. So there's really no way around it for him.
Lying and cheating are very serious offences in the Korean culture, and is frowned harshly upon and can have very negative consequences if caught.
just come to america ill get u some burgers and some white women :)
wow
No one on their right mind would want to go back to NK.
This dude is pretty hardcore.

this western media is strategically trying to devide between s korea and north korea
As if. They western media doesn't need to do jack shit. The South just doesn't want a million new unemployed, uneducated people they have to support.
Badman
From discrimination this man wants to die
