Mad respect for the South Korean and Thailand government for welcoming and saving the lives of North Korean defectors! Your maker will remember what you did here when you later go up to meet them in heaven!
At 6:27. He said he is not as attached to the people and friends he knew in North Korea....he is totally in denial of how he really feels. He really wants to meet his family and he is denying that he misses them as much because he knows that the reality is that he may not ever see them again and that's the only way forward. It is extremely distressing. I feel like North Korea should be part of South Korea....korean youth don't want this because they are selfish and they don't realize that on the other side is literally a third world country that doesn't even have food to eat. I hope south koreans stop acting high and mighty, put aside their differences and consider the possibility of it. An increase in population and natural resources from north korea can even generate jobs. North Koreans are already exposed to South Korean media and many of them are happy with this decision, its only the south who has a problem. Some South Koreans don't realize they could have been north koreans living that life, simply if their great-great grandparents were from the north part of the Korean peninsula, they should stop acting like they are better and superior than these north Koreans. The two sides still share hundreds of years of tradition, in fact I think it's a shame on South Korea that they are being so influenced by the west that they aren't as connected to their Korean traditions as much as North Koreans are. Sorry if this was offensive but I think it's unfair how North Koreans are looked down upon by some south Koreans simply for being born on the other side of Korea.
Bunnies Forever Have you ever been to South Korea? Did you watch the Olympics? We don’t hate each other and in fact during the chant for the Olympics they cheered for each other. We don’t think we’re all high and mighty, we want to help, it’s not as easy as you think.
North Koreans are more attractive than South Koreans. And I think it is because South Koreans use a lot of plastic surgery. I hope that the two boys won't have plastic surgery.
@Noah Smith There is nothing wrong with plastic surgery they can have ps if they want. And you do realize not everyone in S. Korea have plastic surgery.
Mad respect to the Thailand gov. and South Korean gov. I wish I can save these people from North Korea and show them that their being tortured and that there’s a whole another world much better ;-;
It’s sickening that when life gets hard, women usually have to pay with it for their bodies. I feel so much remorse for these women that were sold as wives. Just typing that makes me sick to the stomach. It’s also sad to know how many men would be willing to take advantage of these women.
It truly is a sad fact that women have always been treated this way! We definitely need to band together to stop this inhuman treatment of our sisters! I just wish I knew how to start such a movement!
I'd like to say that, for the young boys it isn't much different in that they would often have to pay with their bodies. And if you are an older teenage boy the likelihood that you'll be able to escape using this method is way less likely. You could also look to it when the narrator mentions mostly female defectors, that probably means that many boys were sent back to North Korea before reaching refugee status and placed in prison, labor camps, or killed. This shouldn't be categorized as a gender issue but as a human issue for what it really is. Horrible people are horrible regardless of gender and both North Korean boys and girls suffer terrible consequences for wanting freedom.
They are taught how to use and throw a granade as well as operating a machine gun.. AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. From a documentary that i saw, the justification of they had to do that to protect their country. Yeah i understand that but i JUST couldn't absorb the information the fact that I'm aware that they are young child. (That age should've been studying, playing and learning to develop)
We all do, but as North Korea's biggest trading partner and also sharing a border, if china were to send defectors to South Korea it would only tighten security at the northern border and make life worse for the north Koreans
"I remember my friends in NK and wish to pay them a visit but that feeling is slowly fading away." As the son of Mexican immigrant parents into the US, I know exactly what you're talking about... one doesn't just leave friends behind but a chunk of one's childhood.
Maybe, but you are probably still able to visit them, or even write to/call/facetime/etc. These kids aren't able to contact their friends and family in NK at all or their family could be severely punished or killed. Some are even punished for defectors in their family already. There is no way for these kids to know what's happening to their families and friends in NK, they could be dead or starving. They probably wouldn't even know how or where to find them in the first place.
It’s sad that South Koreans (not all) are bullying North Koreans just because they’re from North Korea. Not even one hundred years ago the Korean people lived together. It was just Korea. They were and still are the same people.
There is no south korean not crying with their heart when having a chance to meet north koreans and hear their heartbreaking stories. The reality is that we still dont have many chance to meet them personally, north koreans dont necessarily speak out of their identity and they are worried about possible discrimination with no actual experience of it. Over 20 years of having north korean defectors, we still need more chances to mingle with one another, which is extremely limited cases in the south and that way , both sides will understand and live together better.
Majority of South Koreans have never even met a North Korean in their whole lives . And South Koreans are the ones donating the most when it comes to North Koreans. The money, countless bags of rice and donations of clothes, and other things that go over to North Korea are all coming from South Korean organizations.
Integration is never an easy process, even for sister countries. The fact both sides never ceased to see each other as an enemy must be the top contributor (they teach this in history classes)
I don’t think they are sad bc of what they suffered in North Korea, I think they sad bc they are able to enjoy freedom while knowing that there family and friends cannot. And I think the most painful thing for them is that they know that they may never see their families again so the thing they are most afraid of is, losing the memories of them
I feel so sorry for these boys. Especially the one with the round glasses.. i can see and feel his pain. I hope one day you’ll find true happiness in your heart. Im praying and waiting that one day North Korea will be free. And I wish I’ll be able to see that. Im from the Philippines and my heart goes out to North Korean people. Sending my love and prayers to all of you. I wish I could do more...

Yeah, thai ppl do see whats good and not. So i think we are the bridges for these ppl and i hope that they will find a better life after cos We are human being.
@@almertrace4150 I don't blame you for thinking that japan doesn't care whether or not we'll let them pass and their army is already walking on our country and we can't even do anything about it quite sad really.
This breaks my heart.... I think So.Korean teachers should take an hour of class time with these types videos to raise awareness of the No.Koreans plight . And maybe the bullying will stop 🤷🏻♀️ Let’s teach children about compassion instead of comparing 🙏🏼
@f you that's right Yes but south korea is not better they imprison n-koreans within the borders almost never giving them a passport. North koreans can travel with north korean passports assuming they buy exit visa which is easier than a defector who gets permanently trapped without any travel documents.
My heart breaks for everyone who has to go though all of this and the one who sent their family away to a better life..I hope one day we can do something..more..
This is honestly crazy. These kids grew up in such a different world only kilometers apart. They were taught to never question anything and they North Korea was the best country ever. Imagine the conditions they had to have been living in that their parents were willing to never see them again in order to give them a better future.
yes those 2 boys as delightful as they are look sad. i pray they grown stronger and will do well. perhaps in time they will see their families...hope so.
I feel really bad for the innocent North Korean citizens who have to suffer and had been through a lot :( and I was there in their country I would help a lot of people to escape actually and yes I am a Chinese girl🇨🇳 born in Canada 🇨🇦
I cried watching this. The tears fell hard whenever he said that he was shocked that they brought ramen to his seat for him while he was on the internet at a Cafe, because in North Korea, nobody has it like the rest of us do.. and they're not allowed basic human rights.. it just breaks my heart.
I am curious if defectors get south Korean citizenship? Like can they get South Korean passport and do the men have to serve the military as a typical South Korean men?
They immediately get citizenship and legal protections as long as their feet are on South Korean soil. It’s almost impossible to make it straight over the Korean border, though so that’s where the main danger is-going into China and then entering Korea is the easiest way, and because of that, people are watching for them.
I believe they’re exempt from compulsory military service. And yes they do get Korean citizenship, identification card/proof, passport and so on almost immediately after going through ‘hanawon’, which is a program/facility where North Korean defectors go to after they get their background check at gookjeongwon (forgot what this place does so just google it)
bless all of those amazing people who help youths and people who flee from the north, for example the man from the durihana mission. really, bless you.
@@BBarNavi While watching this I was wondering if there are any Kpop idols who were NK defectors or children/grandchildren of defectors.That would be so cool if it could one day happen. It could probably help with political relations, too!
It's so disheartening to hear about what these young men and many other defectors have gone through. I hope that many more North Koreans, one day, will learn more about the world, outside of their own. And for the ones who plan on escaping or will escape in the future, will be sucessful in doing so and live a happy life.
All this is so incredibly interesting. I am going to school right now obtaining two degrees: one in journalism, and another in psychology. My ultimate goal is to move to Seoul or Busan, I want to be a counselor over there, or at least do journalism. It is such a complex situation, I'd love to be of use. I'd even love to be a counselor for defectors.
I am proud of you for wanting to make a difference in the lives of North Korean defectors living in South Korea. As I was listening to the stories of the two young boys; I started to cry. If I had the opportunity to meet them; I would give them hugs and assure them that even though life may seem tough for them right now, they just have to remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. As the saying goes; "Every cloud has a silver lining."
You oversimplify a vastly complex situation. North and South Korea are incredibly different today than compared to Germany's situation 30 years ago. South Korea would have to burden the large debt and humanitarian issues that the North has created for decades. On the flip side, North Korea would have to change its entire ideology and depose of the Kim Regime which I can't see happening without a serious fight. To say they can just easily reunite is naive.
This breaks my heart… I wish our country would do more to actually help these people. They need the most love and understanding that this world doesn’t offer..
Some people don't understand that even if this people hate North Korea and lived a really difficult life there, it was still their home, it is the place they were born and grew up , the place they have family and friends. And even if their life can get way better in the south there is always that feeling of not belonging completely and missing home. And the fact that they can never return must be horrible to deal with. I'm really praying for all of them and that one day they have a change to reunite with those they miss but in a good way
These kids have been traumatized by the north korean government, i do hope and pray that more defectors will be rescued by these kind hearted people so they will live their lives freely. Hope that someday change will come to north korea.
Looking Korean, speaking Korean, definitely Korean. I feel sad for every time one from the south is mocking then or say to them to back. They are not even brothers they are ONE!
Well, it's all very political. It would be a different matter the US didn't intervene in the Korean war, and the South wasn't closely allied and controlled by the US. China is scared that 1. North Korea could nuke them if they opened borders or allowed refugees, each time North Korea do a nuclear test the area bordering them feels the ground shaking like an earthquake, and it's pretty scary. 2. China doesn't want a refugee crisis, it already has too many people of their own (1.4 billion is a lot), and many poor ones at that, plus it could cause NK to retaliate by nuking China and South Korea. 3. South Korea closely allied to the US, and THAAD system in the South means the US would be more likely to control China/Asia, and cause the current government to topple - which the Communist gov doesn't want. 4. North Korea is like a buffer zone for China, that's how how big nations function - and having two ideological parties - though in practice China is capitalist, but the people in power are still descendents from the Communist Party. A war may still be possible with the US and China one day. Wish history could be simple, if it didn't have governments and political parties it would be, humans vs humans could all understand each other, but parties creates fractions and different ideologies creates sides, and the media doesn't help.
I dont know but when that young boy said "You can order food, like ramen, right to your seat" 4:47, hit me hard, we blessed as such a little thing like that and we often forget that little bless
@@Kravis63 In all the years I have lived, the only leader who keeps saying his country is the greatest nation in the world is Drumpf. I have never heard any other leader say that.
I wish I could give these boys hugs and assure them that even though things may seem tough right now; they just need to have hope that they will find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah it reminds me of a story that’s based on real life for many: A Korean man escaped so he could have a better life for his future family knowing he’d never see his own again. And his daughter and her husband immigrating to the states to give their kids the lives they never had.
I keep crying about the horrible treatment of these beautiful ppl. My auntie is FROM KOREA . She married my uncle at the end of KOREAN war. She is my angel!
man im glad those boys escaped from north korea. it warms my heart seeing them like normal teen boys nowadays like playing games and stuff idk i hope theyre okay tho since theyre young
Bless your heart sir,and all the defectors who left the horrors of the North Korean regime and found new life and love and religion in Seoul's welcoming arms!💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙
I can’t imagine the pain they would through being separated from their parents at this very young age. How I wish both of the countries come into a negotiation or join their hands🥺
Its painful and hard to forget their familymembers and friends who are suffering in NK, but they have to somehow leave past behind and atleast keep thier next generation safe.
I truly hope both Koreas can reunite. No idea how it will ever happen. At this point, the cultural and linguistic differences are wide enough it would take a lot of work for reunification to be truly successful... I keep thinking of the Berlin Wall, but reunification there happened after only 30 years and it was hard. This has been another 30 on top of that.

I am curious if defectors get south Korean citizenship? Like can they get South Korean passport and do the men have to serve the military as a typical South Korean men?
They immediately get citizenship and legal protections as long as their feet are on South Korean soil. It’s almost impossible to make it straight over the Korean border, though so that’s where the main danger is-going into China and then entering Korea is the easiest way, and because of that, people are watching for them.
I believe they’re exempt from compulsory military service. And yes they do get Korean citizenship, identification card/proof, passport and so on almost immediately after going through ‘hanawon’, which is a program/facility where North Korean defectors go to after they get their background check at gookjeongwon (forgot what this place does so just google it)
@@welcometojohnnysfashioneva8221 Gookjeongwon is basically the South Korean version of CIA.
@@welcometojohnnysfashioneva8221 love your name....Johnny's fashion rules. 😊
South Korean law states that North Korean people are of the same country. So yeah, the refugees are automatically considered South Korean.
bless all of those amazing people who help youths and people who flee from the north, for example the man from the durihana mission. really, bless you.
He's playing League of Legends
probably is
Think about it. A new generation of progamers and Kpop stars arising from the generation of young refugees.
@@BBarNavi While watching this I was wondering if there are any Kpop idols who were NK defectors or children/grandchildren of defectors.That would be so cool if it could one day happen. It could probably help with political relations, too!
U sure? Or not just a similar game?
@@thynisia396 he is making an allusion to Faker, a league of legends pro
They just executed a teenager for having south Korean movies. My heart hurts for those stuck there
This man is doing such a noble work, I would love to join this organisation.
6:36 it's good to see him smile
I’ve noticed that the defectors change their speech to Seoul dialect.
Yup.. too bad I kinda like north korea dialect
Its fake and scripted
@@jaylovestesla1099 are you a catcher or a pitcher?
I am from south korea and I hope that oneday we became united
It's so disheartening to hear about what these young men and many other defectors have gone through. I hope that many more North Koreans, one day, will learn more about the world, outside of their own. And for the ones who plan on escaping or will escape in the future, will be sucessful in doing so and live a happy life.
This TRUTH about North korea: (please share this).

Thank you for making this video and bringing awareness to the people of North Korea, who are innocent and know no other way then Kim Jung Un's.
This breaks my heart. Praying for those healing 🙏🏼.
Thank you South Korea for helping them and saving them
Humans should work together to end demonizations.
Feeling sad for every north korean citizen. and thanking god everyday to be born in a democracy like india ❤
I’m so happy that these kids finally got to experience somewhat of a normal childhood
I really feel sad for them, but when I saw him playing League I was like "He's one of us from now on, not them"
When you see this you start appreciating your country more than ever.
All this is so incredibly interesting. I am going to school right now obtaining two degrees: one in journalism, and another in psychology. My ultimate goal is to move to Seoul or Busan, I want to be a counselor over there, or at least do journalism. It is such a complex situation, I'd love to be of use. I'd even love to be a counselor for defectors.
Thats amazing!! Wishing you good luck 💜
Chapeau!! Good luck
I am proud of you for wanting to make a difference in the lives of North Korean defectors living in South Korea. As I was listening to the stories of the two young boys; I started to cry. If I had the opportunity to meet them; I would give them hugs and assure them that even though life may seem tough for them right now, they just have to remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. As the saying goes; "Every cloud has a silver lining."
Did you go?
Those poor babies. I hope they live a good life!
these kids deserve more attention
bless these souls
I am 100% sure that North Korea and South Korea will reunite in my lifetime under a South Korean Government. Germany did it too 30 years ago!
That's different.
They might reunite under Chinese rule! Just predict! Don't attack me! China rule over Korea so many times before!
You oversimplify a vastly complex situation. North and South Korea are incredibly different today than compared to Germany's situation 30 years ago. South Korea would have to burden the large debt and humanitarian issues that the North has created for decades. On the flip side, North Korea would have to change its entire ideology and depose of the Kim Regime which I can't see happening without a serious fight. To say they can just easily reunite is naive.
@@lrose1310 I did not oversimplify anything nor did I assume this to be an easy task. I just stated that it will happen in the future.
You know. China don't want an US allies beside. So they will help NK reunite SK.
This breaks my heart… I wish our country would do more to actually help these people. They need the most love and understanding that this world doesn’t offer..
the fact that most of us complain about the things we have and we are lucky compared to them
Respect to those who managed to flee. But who knows what happened to their relatives...
This truly breaks my heart!😢
The pastor has a golden heart 😭
Some people don't understand that even if this people hate North Korea and lived a really difficult life there, it was still their home, it is the place they were born and grew up , the place they have family and friends. And even if their life can get way better in the south there is always that feeling of not belonging completely and missing home. And the fact that they can never return must be horrible to deal with. I'm really praying for all of them and that one day they have a change to reunite with those they miss but in a good way
These kids have been traumatized by the north korean government, i do hope and pray that more defectors will be rescued by these kind hearted people so they will live their lives freely. Hope that someday change will come to north korea.
I want to give them both a hug. :((
It's sad to think that there is still a place where no one is free
Looking Korean, speaking Korean, definitely Korean. I feel sad for every time one from the south is mocking then or say to them to back. They are not even brothers they are ONE!
I'M JUST SO HAPPY FOR THEM.
You can see the pain and suffering they have dealt with in thier eyes
so much sadness I felt watching this video. I hope and I prayed that someday everything will be okay
Well, it's all very political. It would be a different matter the US didn't intervene in the Korean war, and the South wasn't closely allied and controlled by the US. China is scared that 1. North Korea could nuke them if they opened borders or allowed refugees, each time North Korea do a nuclear test the area bordering them feels the ground shaking like an earthquake, and it's pretty scary. 2. China doesn't want a refugee crisis, it already has too many people of their own (1.4 billion is a lot), and many poor ones at that, plus it could cause NK to retaliate by nuking China and South Korea. 3. South Korea closely allied to the US, and THAAD system in the South means the US would be more likely to control China/Asia, and cause the current government to topple - which the Communist gov doesn't want. 4. North Korea is like a buffer zone for China, that's how how big nations function - and having two ideological parties - though in practice China is capitalist, but the people in power are still descendents from the Communist Party. A war may still be possible with the US and China one day. Wish history could be simple, if it didn't have governments and political parties it would be, humans vs humans could all understand each other, but parties creates fractions and different ideologies creates sides, and the media doesn't help.
@@ironguanyin123 China is not too scared to traffic the N Korean Female Refugees! Didn't send them back, but sold them to own Chinese men!!
I dont know but when that young boy said "You can order food, like ramen, right to your seat" 4:47, hit me hard, we blessed as such a little thing like that and we often forget that little bless
hope. I love you guys and I care for you and North korean people. Lots of hugs from Portugal!
They are taught that it's 'the greatest country in the world'. Does it ring a bell?
Leo29 yeah... every country
@@Kravis63 In all the years I have lived, the only leader who keeps saying his country is the greatest nation in the world is Drumpf. I have never heard any
other leader say that.
i cant even begin to imagine how much they have struggled
That man is doing the Lord's work, wow. What an amazing human being.
I wish I could give these boys hugs and assure them that even though things may seem tough right now; they just need to have hope that they will find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Though a fresh new start for the north korean kids, must have been tough leaving their friends / family who are suffering under the regime behind. :(
Yeah it reminds me of a story that’s based on real life for many: A Korean man escaped so he could have a better life for his future family knowing he’d never see his own again. And his daughter and her husband immigrating to the states to give their kids the lives they never had.
They all need hugs 😢😢😢
thank you, thailand
I keep crying about the horrible treatment of these beautiful ppl. My auntie is FROM KOREA . She married my uncle at the end of KOREAN war. She is my angel!

I cant stop my tear while iam watching and hearing stories of north korean defectors and inside of north korean people😭😭😭.
man im glad those boys escaped from north korea. it warms my heart seeing them like normal teen boys nowadays like playing games and stuff idk i hope theyre okay tho since theyre young
Bless your heart sir,and all the defectors who left the horrors of the North Korean regime and found new life and love and religion in Seoul's welcoming arms!💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙
So happy for them!😀👍
I can’t imagine the pain they would through being separated from their parents at this very young age. How I wish both of the countries come into a negotiation or join their hands🥺
Wake up. It’s North Korea they want to destroy the south. Silly 🐄
4:53 Yasuo main
He better go back to NK!
Its painful and hard to forget their familymembers and friends who are suffering in NK, but they have to somehow leave past behind and atleast keep thier next generation safe.
I truly hope both Koreas can reunite. No idea how it will ever happen. At this point, the cultural and linguistic differences are wide enough it would take a lot of work for reunification to be truly successful... I keep thinking of the Berlin Wall, but reunification there happened after only 30 years and it was hard. This has been another 30 on top of that.
When you're having a bad day just think of people living in NK. Don't waste your life, don't take freedom for granted.
Thank you, Pastor. Long live.
I hope these children will turn their traumatic experience into something that inspires them and inspire others.
Its incredibly sad for both sides for defectors and their families.
I hope that north korea will be open someday and not run by dictators
The boys are brave. I wish you all the best in your new journey.
