Can we appreciate that person who tried to film this riskng his life

[brett.taylor]

Whoever captured these videos deserves a prize for helping us to see what really goes on in this country. I’m sure they desire to stay hidden, but they certainly are appreciated.

[ModernBaptist]

I really hope these people will be free someday nobody deserves to suffer like this.

[naimathkhan]

Ironic thing is that those who were recorded didn’t even know they are in a video and being watched and appreciated by millions 😢 .

[aditiadu]

I sometimes forget that they are not just poor. They have no mobile phones or internet or electricity. Only their clothes look a bit modern but thats it.

[sharonmariec]

If they are richest I am afraid to see the poorest

[neptune]

Such strong people.
It's a shame they are living like this, I wish them all the best and hope this tyranny ends someday.

[rapermini]

There is not just poverty . They haven't basic human rights

[lizzmg]

The person filming has my respect, literally risk his/her life . Please be safe .

[EpicIntegral]

I can sense the sorrow in your voice. It’s almost palpable. My heart goes out to those poor people 😔🥺

[kgn]

Yeonmi, you are so precious. You escaped, but your eyes are still toward NK and the pain your ppl still go through. I am praying daily that God Almighty will free NK, bring down that horrible regime and free the precious ppl of NK. I love you and my heart is broken too.

My father migrated from west Africa to the UK in the 90s where I was born. He told me about the hardships he faced poverty, starvation you name it. It even got to the point where he was put in detention centre at an airport. After watching this and living in London, I’m just grateful for the life I have

[robertmaddelena]

My heart crys for these people. We don't realize how luck we are to be born in a free country.

[preetham]

This isn't living
Its surviving
And all my life i thought i was unlucky 😭

[hordakprime]

Westerners take so much for granted. It's terrifying the idea that his is actually one of the rich cities. The person who filmed this is a true hero I hope they are staying safe.

[iclaire]

I'm so sorry that you had to endure all that Yeonmi, I am very grateful that you are speaking up and telling us your stories. Thank you for also also speaking up about the things going on in the US these days. There are so many things happening, but I still have hope. One day I hope to see Korea refunify. 💞

[wasiqtaheer]

I am from Afghanistan, a war zone, a war torn country for decades yet we don’t have that tough live as i have seen in this video. May DPRK gets free so the people can have at least basic necessity.

[alvaropeneda]

What I cant understand still in this day and age, that we the privileged, that have a roof over our heads, nice warm houses and enough food to eat etc. We still complain that we dont have enough!! Every single person should see this video of yours and realise how fortunate we really are! This is sad .

[ebob]

This feels like how my grandparents describe their childhood.

[joannkorona]

Thanks! You are such an inspiration! I'm so grateful that you escaped DPRK and continue to share your story. It makes me so thankful to live in the United States. God Bless you, Ms. Park!❤️❤️❤️
