Why a beautiful North Korean was shocked for the first time in America 

The majority of people in America will think she’s Chinese.

@@HKim0072 yeah i hate to admit it but i cant tell most asian nationalities apart

@@lachlansisson8619 if you consume a lot of Asian media from varying countries, you will eventually be able to tell them apart. Although for some countries, the major differences are in their style rather than physical features

@@justmike1753 A lot of it might just be what you grow up around. For example, my high school was 30% Asian, and as a result I'm _way_ better at differentiating between different Asian individuals than my mother is.

@@BroudbrunMusicMerge True. I was assuming that person did not grow up around a lot of Asian since they said they can't differentiate between them.

Why do most Americans look so old even at a very young age? They just get fat and old. Their skin is not the best either. The only thing that saves them is their height.

its strength. she doesn't dwell on her past hardships and let them define her life. My grandma spoke in a very similar way of her time in the great depression, before her passing.

Edward Spencer most Americans? What does an American look like? We’ve got over 300 million people living here from heritages all over the world. So please, be more specific next time.

@@melindamercier6811 It doesn't matter which heritage as long as they are white. MOST white people look older than their age. That is what I am trying to say.

Americans are by far the most dramatic people in the world. Other cultures are far more stoic and well-adjusted than we are.

and remember the most loving of all, Jesus Christ. remember to pray man He can help with the ptsd

Interesting. I was thinking the same thing!! @@jakeomako4992

@@jakeomako4992 amen

Amen sir

Thank you for your sacrifice and service . . . I know so many wonderful Vietnamese people now living in the U.S. who are profoundly grateful for people like you who came to their country and put their lives on the line in an effort to defend their freedom. I've come to realize, contrary to the popular line, our soldiers who died in Vietnam certainly did not die in vain.

I was thinking the same thing! I'm trying to learn Korean now and can't imagine speaking without an accent lol

after 8 years of speaking it as your new main language... you'd become accustomed.

@David Wang nonsense. I knew a Japanese girl that mastered a California accent and English in 9 months.

Some ESL programs are better than others, comes down to good teachers and a motivated student seen faster 9 months ESL Japanese only speaking girl to fluent California accent English.

It's not easy! I lived there for a year and outside of learning to direct a taxi, ordering from a restaurant, and some classroom instructions to interact with my students I learned little. Reading it is very easy, it's translating what you read that is the problem. Thankfully all Korean cell phones had translators programmed in

Thank you♥️♥️♥️

Why didn't her Mother go with her to be together and protect her on that journey ? I find that very strange and disturbing.

That's the of thing, I thought she said they left together & went to mom's apartment in China.

did her mother escaped too?

@@rosc2022 Her Mother was permitted to do business and keep an apartment in China for when she was there. That tells me her Mother was in high standing with the Communist Party. She would be in the Elite Class.

It's not too late to learn Korean, get in touch with your Korean roots. NGL

I agree with the above comment. Give it another chance! Hard work for something good is always worth it! In truth, I need to get in touch with my Filipino side more…

@@domwillban656 No shame in wanting to be in touch with your Filipino side. It's not too late to do so.

You're not korean then, fake korean

Try again, its not too hard.

What state by chance? I know Southern states have a reputation for hospitality, but West Coast and New England states have reputation for rudeness.

@@nagual1992 Virginia.

@@nagual1992 Northwest as well. Despite it's liberal reputation, my Filipina wife of 30 years now, and my two daughters, have all experienced a lot of unconscious racism, and some even very overt, hostile racism. Especially my wife, on the job. I've personally witnessed these goings on, they are not "cute".

The South is on the east coast lol ,

@@garyguyton7373 That sucks, but I meant to type West Coast. Thanks for helping me realize. West coast is all kinds of messed up. I’ve heard some of the most casually racist stuff come out of the mouths of Californians. Racism is everywhere, I just think on the West coast it’s really casual. Because they don’t think their racism is actually racist. The best thing about the South is, well. Let’s just say: if racists were land mines, we don’t bother to bury ours. So, you’ll hear more extreme and vile stuff. But on the other hand, everyone knows where not to step and we can have real convos about bad behavior.

To be fair as non native one it is hella easy especially for enriching your vocab...atleast i do that lol

American movies are, after all, one of many ways for those who don't know English to learn English. As I say: "A little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing."

It's the case for me too! Great observation. Why and how did you notice that? If you don't mind me asking...

@@rohanjarande I noticed it too. I think we did because Asians with English as their second language usually have very strong accents. Hearing her say some words in a perfect American accent is really noticeable because of the contrast with her saying words in an Asian accent

@@Xanderulz I see... You're right. Thanks for the insight.

thats exactly what i thought. i hope she goes far.

A shame this innocent, free spirit needlessly spent 10 months in a Thailand prison. A literal translation of what Kim is doing to his own people.

@@williamyoung9401 She wasn't in the prison for all that time.

She is extremely privileged for a North Korean person. She is probably thankful and joyful because she knows that 99% of the people in her country have it much more difficult than her and for them it would have been much more challenging to escape. She was lucky to have a mother in that position.

​@@williamyoung9401 Her family was loaded, she had zero problem getting out of North Korea. She and her family benefited from the regime. You think someone in her mothers position gets to that status without government approval? Who do you think she was getting the goods for? It is precisely because her family was rich that you have to do a background check. Anyone rich under that dictatorship is complicit and connected to the powers that be. What happened to her mother? Sounds like only half the story. If you are poor and you try to escape your family goes to the work camp.

Exactly! When learning a language, if you can't find people to mirror and communicate with in that language, the next best option is their media, arts and culture.

It’s the same thing with Spanish. Majority of people won’t speak Spaniard Spanish.

@@maribart4237 ? That doesn't mean Spanish accent is incorrect

@@ainaravillada2154 No but it does mean classroom language learning won't completely prepare a student for in-person communication. I've heard the same thing from one of my cousins that minored in Spanish before traveling. You want opportunities to use the language with a native as soon as you can - before - travel, if possible.

@@maribart4237 Luckily that's why they teach Mexican Spanish in Texas schools

Thank you

I agree, however i think they are there for those who are deaf.

I kept noticing every time the captions were wrong, which was a lot.

I agree, but some people aren't as used to hearing accents and have more trouble with it.

The subtitles were worse than her English! ;)

I hope she becomes a millionaire so she can pay it forward to the North Korean people who escaped

What do you think she's doing now this video is a business

North Korea would be much better and not poor without American sanctions.

@@kimyu7555 North Korea would be much better off if it was a Capitalism based economy.

@@thatguyjimmie kdrama lol

Some of us just happen to be real awkward socially.

Awwww I love Canadians though. So polite and such authentically kind people. We're lucky to have such great neighbors 🇺🇲❤️🇨🇦

I know a few Canadian people myself. They're wonderful people. So, by extension, are you, and all Canadian people as a whole. This American is proud to call you friend.

We feel like you guys are the nice ones. lol

Well if that’s not just a top notch compliment I don’t know what is!!! Thank you!!

That's more like a Californian thing 😅

you can tell that she watched a lot of Hollywood movies. very Californian

@buhao pengyou maybe because it's a common surname and also the name of dried seaweed which is a very common food

@buhao pengyou me too! And my first reply, sorry if it sounded offensive because I thought your first comment was in an offensive manner

She should try to drop that. Bad English. It's an easy habit to fall into. I find myself having to fight it off at times.

Good luck in whatever you do here in the U.S.A. God bless you always.

Hope she's deported back. Best Korea is best.

Same here.

shes American, more american than the wakandians filling the prison system

America is a continent

Period

@@juangorsedin6657 I get your Point.

It's not perfect, as any other countries, but it's way better than NK, and yeah, overall, seems a really cool country

@@juangorsedin6657 .

Her mother may be in prison for helping her daughter escape.

@@sitbone3 or knowing nk her mother might be dead

@@calenfalathiel2444 that’s fucked bruh

I think her mom might be in China or SK. There's another interview with this sweet girl and she talks about talking with her mom on the phone. So, mom is okay. Probably just wasn't allowed to immigrate to US due to her former business connections.

imagine the alternative then

It will not be a wonderful and generous country for long as the population is replaced with people who have no understanding of generosity. Enjoy your good feelings while they last, since they won't last long.

@@trustedsource2617 In rural areas we will remain.

@@sonofliberty8872 Yes, and my family and I love to come visit rural areas every summer and spend money supporting a smaller town and providing jobs for the people who live there. We've been doing it for generations.

ah she fell into the hands of some evangelical Lutherans ... I met some in central WA at the gun club. They wanted to machine gun Mexican children swimming the rio grande and lynch 'obviously guilty' ... They are forever trying to increase their tithe base...

@@chevinbarghest8453 the family was never said to be religious. The placement services were Lutheran. While you make snarky unfounded RU-vid comments they were out helping. Have a nice day.

🙌🏻 Yes I agree

You want to make their lives better ? Work against Communism and Dictatorships.

The two main reasons it hasn't happened is the power vacuum it would create and the financial cost that would be involved. There are two countries that could do it, but China doesn't want an American influence on its border and the US doesn't want China on the peninsula. So these people suffer because it's more convenient for both parties.

A big help to make your lives better would be for the US to drop the sanctions. same with Cuba. Venezuela.

@David Wang Never said I was, I said I grew up Lutheran, big difference.

@@katieoberst490 In that case, REPENT AND BE BAPTISED YOU HEATHEN! There are people in this world like this girl that need your help. What are you doing?

Wish they had gotten the subtitle correct luzerne just looking at it before she spoke it I knew it must be Lutheran. They spelled orphan wrong also. People who go to church regularly are overwhelmingly charitable.

Oh Thank you

@@EvelynwelcomeTomychannel You should visit Kentucky

Where's her father?

Hearing impaired...I sometimes need subtitles for the evening news!

yes, she did. :)

Basically, an agency operated by the Lutheran Church to find foster homes for children in need. Once she was placed, she enjoyed the same child support services as any other child without a family -- but no more than that.

Translator had no clue how to type Lutheran Family Services. I worked one summer at a retirement center next door to the children's center. Cradle to the grave, they support the family.

@@thomashiggins9320 agreed. It's probably the faith of her foster family (she didn't state what her own religious preference was) so its makes the adjustment to a new country easier. The same could be said for Catholic Charities.

I thought the same.

No she is a real asylum seeker. The others are come to make money and bleed the system dry. More than 1% of them are out doing crime and racking up DUIs.

Yeah, real immigrants, not illegal invaders...

@Shadow Of Wiggin I admire all people that are brave enough to do this for anybody they unconditionally love. That is up love right there!

Every language has their own version of "like/um". Acts as a pause while thinking.

Clever observation...I noticed, like, the same thing. 🧐🙆

@@bobdavis7518 Like, thanks

Does it matter , good luck to her say I !!

​@@welshpete12 Not at all. It is just interesting to see how other people pick up on the way we talk. I wish her good luck as well. We would do the same in her country. Remember the "valley girls?" You know, "gag me with a spoon" That died out as will "Like" every other word as well, but something else will come along. Looking forward to see what.. Life can be interesting if you look around.

The closed captioning is voice recognition software. It very often makes mistakes

Are they don't claim to be oppressed like a certain race and they don't blame all your problems on the white man

So if she wasn't adorable she would not be welcome?

Haha, I feel you regarding the music. First it was Minecraft, which was already surprising and then suddenly KSP!

It's also why we should be thankful for living in this country. The country isn't war-torn, it isn't a shithole, and the people here are generally all very nice and welcoming. The ones saying America are shit have NEVER left the United States nor their comfy little homes or Twitter feeds. They don't realize how good we have got it here. It's a PRIVILEGE to live and be born here.

It may not exactly be political or anything, but many people have problems with stuff like dysfunctional families or bullying in which they wonder if things might be different in some kind of different time and place... Don't say that America is so perfect like that, you have no idea how bad some people might have it...

the mass hysteria, guilt or the greed and selfishness that is where our nations problems lie and it is because of mainly so called marxists and power hungry politicians

@@indigowendigo8165 nobody said america was perfect, also bullying and dysfunctional families can happen anywhere

Lucky in the US? You are modest.

I think much of it has to do with the smuggling of south korean media into NK, such as k-dramas which portray freedom. They aren’t completely isolated from the outside world. But there is also an instinctive desire for freedome too.

It's interesting they look to the USA to fulfill that dream while idiots already in this country tear it down and complain about what a terrible place the country is.

@@1940limited It definitely needs work. America is great but we are not superior and many issues need resolved.

Its because her mother went to china frequently and had information and told her things about america

Well, you don't have to worry about the number of downvotes now lol

mostly far left criminals

@@JK-br1mu You think the immigrants are far left criminals?

@@jollyandwaylo you have difficulty following conversations?

Well, you could not have meant that the far left doesn't like immigrants since it is the far right that fears immigrants so that was the only other choice in your snarky four word phrase.

True the ones at the southern border aren’t refugees they’re free loaders, this girl is a true refugee and went to the embassy and did it right

yuck. you are completely sexualising her. if it were a guy, would you be so fuckin obsessed?

@@BenState oh sorry I didn’t know calling someone “breath taking and gorgeous “ is sexualizing dude get out of here

@@lime5728 of course it is dumbarse

You should go to the NK “official” RU-vid site. It’s quite comical.

Imagine how difficult it must be to learn English when you cme from a country that doesn't even use the same alphabet.

*You mean Chiraq?*

@@DSiren um i don't understand. Is Chicago China+Chicago? Edit: oh you said Chicago+Iraq. Still don't understand

@@samus6256 Chiraq is a term coined from a gun violence surge that saw more Americans dieing daily in Chicago than US soldiers were dieing in Iraq. I live in Kenosha and I have a particular resentment towards Chicago's inability to maintain public order, as it is partly responsible for the thousands of BLM rioters that came here over Jacob Blake. Also you're gang violence is suuper fucked up. I knew someone who was killed as a part of gang initiation. Chiraq's gangs should be considered domestic terrorists at this point. Also I refer to Illinois as "the state of Chicago".

Chicago has a huge Korean community and it is the closest location for the Korean Embassy in the midwest

@@DSiren it's that bad? Jesus. *Clearly violent video games are responsible!*

Not surprising at all they'd be asking 'why' she'd want to leave. They're 21st century journalists...aka communist shills.

They're probably the same kind of interviewers that believe America is racist, so they ask why she would choose America over anything else.

Well, it didn't sound like she had a lot of hardships. Yes, the lack of freedom is horrible, but she admits they were wealthy in North Korea, so I'm sure she had it a lot better than the common resident.

Thanksgiving is the family bonding holiday in the US. It was originally a Christian religious holiday of thanks for the harvest which would enable Americans to live through the harsh winter to come. When someone is alone for that holiday, Americans want to extend the hand of friendship to those who have no family to be with on that day. To us, no loneliness could be keener than solitude on Thanksgiving. We don't want to condemn ANYONE to loneliness on Thanksgiving! We want for everyone, including lonely visitors, to feel a deep bond of belonging and kinship with their fellow humanity on Thanksgiving. This holiday of thanks is also one of gratitude for the generosity of the native tribes who helped the newly arrived European people to survive the coming harsh winter.

@ I appreciate that your sentiment, but there is so much wrong with what you just said there. Please educate yourself on the roots of certain holidays, reasons for their practice, origins, and the intended social effects. Also, Christianity has nothing to do with it.

@ Thanksgiving is National Holliday and still a Christian holiday. This nation was founded by Christians. Most still identify that way.

@@lucydean4028 You need to educate yourself before correcting others. Thanksgiving was started by the Pilgrims who were Puritan Christians. The entire history of America is a Christian one and only since the changing demographics of this country has it becoming less Christian. The founders were all Christians. If you are one who want to claim them to be deists, then also accept that those deists had to pretend to be Christian to get the public to accept them as 98% of them were protestant Christians. They was the spirit of the proclamation of George Washington declaring this a national holiday to give thanks to God for the blessings we have.

@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 Wow. How many times were you heid back??? Also, where did you go to school so I may warn others against it?!?!

I seriously doubt they held her in JAIL for 10 months.

@@kingranchesAnd what makes you think that? For some its longer. You should go look it up, find out for yourself.

She said she follows her mom's agenda/rules. Her mom fits the classic spy profile. Also can serve America as double agent.

@@parallelpost she could have also just meant strict rules. Adhering to parent's rules equates to being a good person in Asian cultures especially, and she wanted to show that she is a good daughter. Maybe it didn't translate perfectly.

@@yunengdahl3675 Understood. However, America cannot afford to just let anyone and everyone into our borders from every direction. We have problems in the USA. Our politicians live in an alternate reality where actual Americans must pay for immigrants and illegal immigrants. Seriously, she nor her mother can provide any real info to keep us from warring with our adversaries. They can only be pawns to our agencies.

@@parallelpost I don't know her personally so I can't say for sure. But I'm thinking she doesn't have access to classified military information that she could be sending back even if she was spying. She has a youtube channel, making a little money (which I'm sure she didn't have in NK) and is trying to make a better life for herself. I am sure, though, that she is grateful for the freedoms that we usually take for granted. Freedom of entrepreneurship, freedom of religion, ownership of personal and private property. I get where you're coming from, but she is not looking for a handout. Koreans don't go to the welfare office or sit on her fat ass popping out babies for the government to feed. So don't worry

@@yunengdahl3675 She could have went to Canada. Should have. Grown ups dont need their mommies, just opportunity and freedoms. I've been a data scientist for two decades, monitoring the web, users and other provocative stuffs and even I do not have a RU-vid channel. Web to book to movie deal, her likely path because as I said, her mother fits the spy profile and her story on its own is just ordinary.

Absolutely! You don't see anyone like this pouring oe the southern border illegally.

So resetting thousands of Somalians in Minnesota had been a benefit to the country. The Lutherans are being paid tax dollars. Her case ok. But the overall pattern of immigration is deracinating the country.

@@mefobills279 You need to look up the definition of "deracinating." Refugees are not uprooting you or forcing you out.

@@jaelynn7575 Mass immigration is a deracinating event. A replaced population will have no linguistic, racial, or cultural attachment to the past peoples. They will bull-doze and pave over the cemeteries. You only need to visit London or Paris to see advanced deracination. I'm always surprised when people cannot see what is before their eyes. A field that was formerly lilies and is now roses, means the field was deracinated.

@@mefobills279 Are you dumb? Somalia was under U.S occupation, and the U.S killed 200,000 Somali children and women during the 90s and even in the 2010s. Under International Law, a developed country waging war against another nondeveloped country has a moral obligation to take refugees whom are unsafe in war zones. The U.S displaced millions of Somalis and destroyed their homes. Where are they supposed to go? The US is the cause of their displacement, therefore they should be obliged to take them in. Its funny how you brought up Somalis as an example of "deracinating" forces--yes the U.S sending hundreds of thousands of White Christians to Muslim countries to Westernize, Christianize, and replace brown populations with White populations somehow isn't an issue with you.
