PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO TO RAISE AWARENESS! We initially planned on running a crowdfunding campaign for Mr. Kim, but couldn't find any suitable North-Korea-related charities or non-profit organizations that Mr. Kim wanted to be associated with. We were told by Mr. Kim that most well-known non-profits you may have heard of cannot provide the support he needs to execute the rescue missions as efficiently and effectively as he'd like. If you have any suggestions, please reach out to him directly ► mg5188@naver.com

Is it ok interview him? Maybe north korean spy try to do something to him.

@littlebumgorf 5 лет назад

Hey Asian Boss, thank you for all the great interviews and fundraising that you provide for us on RU-vid. I am concerned about this video... if Kim is a field broker, would showing his face on camera compromise his safety? I don’t understand how he could safely do his job now that the internet knows what he looks like.

@thepochade5992 5 лет назад

@@littlebumgorf ..from what I just watched here, he said he is no longer a field broker because China will no longer allow him in their country as he has previously been convicted and jailed there for brokerage in the past.

@michaellim4165 5 лет назад

I understand your concern but you too will be risking your safety and livelihood for the chance to help a complete stranger. I aplaud your empathy and concern but this isnt a job for anyone. You will be constantly on edge day and night not knowing when, how or who will be captured. You are just vulnerable as the ones who are escaping. I personally k ow these types of people in China. But I wouldn't advise anyone to jump into this without knowing anything about the entire prospect of a life like this. I personally do not think your life is worthy of this. I respect those who sacrifice for the greater good though.

@mycosys 5 лет назад

Good on you - there are likely many ways you can help in support with less risk, helping in information, guiding resources, many things. They are right that direct work is dangerous, and the social credit scheme over there likely will make it difficult for even indirect support - that is why the scheme exists. What they dont say is that they are using the same words that were used to keep people from helping the Jews in and before ww2, defectors from the Stalinist Soviet countries, resistance fighters in every war. Nobody has the right to tell you to be that brave, but if you are, good on you

I know I sound “naive” and not knowledgeable when I say this, but what a world we live in when people are being starved and in danger in their own country but when they try to leave to find themselves and their families a better life, they are seen as traitors who need to be shot on sight or jailed. There’s been countless of different examples that this has happened in countries and other places but it’s always heartbreaking to hear this. I’m aware there’s borders and laws and more complicated than that but when people are trying to leave in fear of their own survival, we cannot ignore or put this aside

Btw, i sense that there is a part of his story that is exaggerated, but for the most part, truthful.

Sarah Kupka North Korean defectors, especially students, struggle in adjusting to the the academic aspects of S.Korea.
