His English is outstanding! You can tell he worked hard to "think" in English.

What an amazing young man. He has faced such adversity and yet still his devotion to his family remain strong. He fed his mom in jail. He provided childcare for his sister's young daughter instead of going to school. He fled with his mom, who would be executed if she stayed in NK. He stayed by her side as they made the terrifying journey to Thailand. This kind of life, the adversity he has faced, yet still speaks so kindly and humbly, is incredible. Wow, what a guy. He puts most young men and women in the states to shame.

That's how it was in Romania when I was a child before '89. I wish people from countries that didn't experience life in a dictatorship realise how lucky they are and that they cherish their freedom and rights more. I hope they realise that people died for them to have these and that it's their duty to fight for them.

His English is actually quite fluent-not just in vocabulary but in his intonations.

This is so sad. May God heal and protects children in N Korean. No one deserves such treatment and injustice, especially children. I pray things will change at some point. Amen!

[lily_m]

Good luck for a bright future. You were courageous to escape and survive. May you now thrive.

Young man you are a true hero for doing what you did, but like one comment was made keep your escape a secret because the dictator will make it harder for others to succeed what you did. But you are a hero God bless you 🙏🌹🎉
