Why North Koreans were shocked for the first time in America I Dimple Compilation 

Ma'am from one soldier to another. You have nothing to apologize for. We were soldiers and a soldier carries out orders, we don't make them. I am just happy to see that you now have a life worth living. Many soldiers around the world never got that chance. So Ma'am live and be happy😊 live and be happy for those soldiers around the world that never got a chance to😊 let that be your apology😊 Be well.😊

I not only laughed at the first lady in the military outfit but also teary when she talked about how sad she was about having the totally wrong perspective about the USA. I'm not American but from Canada, but I felt very proud that she was treated so well. Thank you to all the American soldiers, civilians and just the compassion everyone showed to her!!!!! xoxoxooxoxox

As an american, I feel no ill will towards the people of n korea. I hate the leadership.

"There is no border in love" Truer words have rarely been spoken.

I am continually amazed at the strength and resilience of the North Korean people and hope that one day, they will enjoy the same freedoms that most of the world's population does. We Americans are a funny bunch, but I believe we are generally very caring and sharing. I know we are loud and can seem too much at times. I hope the shock of coming here was more pleasant than scary. Know you are always welcome! May you all have wonderful lives, wherever you choose to live!

Why does she feel the need to apologize? Poor dear didn't know differently than her indoctrination taught her. I'm glad she and her and husband escaped. I've admired her since the first video I saw her in. Much respect Soldier.

I have been struggling to learn Spanish for 6 years (I’m old), so I was incredibly impressed with the proficiency Evelyn displayed with her English, she has done a lot of hard work to be that fluent. Very impressive.

Every American should have to watch this video. These girls are awesome!

Many people in the US do not understand how incredibly fortunate they are to be born and raised there. We take for granted the freedoms we have, the experiences we have, and the ease of life. They don't know what is happening in other countries around the world, and I often wonder what my life would look like if I were born in another country. Makes me appreciate my life all the more.

I love her pure honesty & sincerity.....she's a real warrior...

Thank you for sharing this. :) I'm so happy these amazing people were able to come here.

Its crazy to think in the first lady's example how powerful it would have been that some random police officer during a traffic stop was aware enough of the realities in NK to afford this lady such respect. Especially in light of what NK's police function as.

Very brave woman, we are honored to have you here.

Americans, for the most part, just want the rest of the world to be able to live peacefully and prosperously, with the same rights we enjoy. There are some bad apples who hate other nationalities, but usually our criticism is aimed at governments and the very real suffering caused by them, not the ordinary people from thpse places. We sympathize with North Korean citizens and hate what their government has done to them.

You have nothing to apologize for. We understand and want only the best for you and your people.

Such an enjoyable video. The one critique that I unfortunately agree with are the conditions of many of our mass transit systems. "Dirty and in disrepair" seem to be a commonly encountered description of these systems in major cities such as NYC. However, I also wholeheartedly agree with the open kindness of Americans. I see videos from other countries often on RU-vid where the victim of an accident (a fall, vehicle strike, etc) are bypassed by other pedestrians and wonder why the heck they aren't stopping to help. In the States, all the witnesses of an accident with injury would be tripping over themselves to help that person. All nations have their strengths and weaknesses, the US included. Thanks again for the video!

What amazing and brave women! ❤ Thank you for sharing your experiences. We are happy you’re here! 👏

I geuninely don't think any American has any hatred for North Korean citizens or see them as an enemy, just Kim Jong Un and his government. More often than not I think we just feel helpless when we think about them because there's nothing we can do to help them while they're in North Korea, and it's only because of the brave defectors and information leakers like her that we know about what they go through.

No North Korean ever needs to apologize. We get it and most Americans really don't care if you call us names. It's all good, just glad you are now living your life.

No need to apologize for what she was taught and what her lived experience was inside of North Korea. Always happy to see when they escape their prison.

All of you were very refreshing to see and hear! Welcome to America!

I'm so vey glad that you had such good experiences, here in USA. You're welcome to stay.... or come again any time you like. 🙂

One thing that NK has wrong is that Americans look alike. We have Americans of every race. My grandmother was Japanese-American. My grandfather's ancestors came from Germany. My mother was born in France. My husband is half Mexican. America is a very diverse country.

What a great video. Thank you for sharing such personal stories. I’m so glad to learn more about the people of North Korea even through shocks and misunderstandings.

They are all so brave to visit America. To go to the place you were brought up to believe was so evil. I can't even imagine the fear they all over came. I hope they are very proud of themselves!

I only knew one person that escaped a dictatorship from Cuba. She was our neighbor and her grandkids were our friends growing up. The struggle she had to endure was mind boggling then, but to think that many other countries like Cuba and N.Korea still go through this today is even more sickening.

I'll always have a ton of respect for anyone who can escape a crappy situation like North Korea and experience what makes the United States of America the greatest nation on Earth.

So happy you are all free now. please enjoy life as it was meant to be.

I wish you peace, love, and understanding. ❤️🫂❤️ We are concerned when our brothers and sisters worldwide are forced to suffer. Not invaders, but caring neighbors. They convinced you that you were in danger and must live in fear. That fear is a manipulation. You flee from North Korea to open arms. We see you as victims.

How is she? Not posted in awhile. Hope her and family are good.

America is a Republic with democratic elements. Capitalism and a free market are also two major reasons why the US thrives over a system like NK has.

Americans are not killers. We want peace. And we will do everything and anything to protect OUR peace and ourselves. Our people. Our sons and daughters and grandpas and mom n dad No doubt. . Like anyone. FUCK AROUND and find out . It is our philosophy that everyone deserves freedom of speech. Freedom from tyranny. And the freedom to choose and find happiness ✌️

I praise her courage. It would not be easy to do what she did. I hope we as Americans understand how important our democracy is. Don't allow our rights to be taken away. We don't want a dictator, we don't want a king. That is why the founding fathers created America as they did. Don't forget it and don't let it slip away.

It sucks that all the worlds problems are between governments and not the people

This video is a good reminder that Americans should be grateful for their lives. Too many Americans have a very distorted view of hardship and don't acknowledge the fact that even our poorest citizens live like kings compared to 90% of the globe. Americans (as well as citizens in other Western countries) also have more personal freedom ...which is why we're so openly critical of our government.

As Soldiers, we understand the heart of the Soldier is true. The heart of our leaders is not always true.

One blessing for the planet is that Americans aren't aggressive.

This was so interesting and I hope they know they are welcome any time here in the U.S. !!

It's so sad that she felt the need to apologize. She was just repeating what she thought she knew to be true. I hope she's living a great life now in freedom.

The United States of America is a Democratic Republic. And we are blessed to hear your stories. Thank you for sharing we appreciate you ❤️

As an American that lives in Hanover PA, I feel like South Korea is a futuristic advanced place I'd love to see. I've been to Chicago and other places in the USA and abroad with the USN, but I've never been to South Korea or NYC. I've heard South Korea is so incredible that many like it better than NYC. My dad's been to South Korea, while he served the USN (he did 10 years though and has been everywhere) but that was in the late 1960s and 1970s, so I don't think South Korea is the same today as it was in the 1970s? Anyway... I'm rambling, but my point is I've heard Seoul South Korea is more futuristic, cleaner, friendlier, and safer than even NYC USA. I'm going oneday! I hope 🙏

The lady from Aoji is going to be wild in her next life, and I love it 😂

I’m so happy for these women’s freedom and proud of my fellow Americans for showing them love, respect and kindness.

Finally theyre back, oh i miss them so much! I always to hear the story of north korean on their first time in america

I am crying right now, I only wish i could have given you a better and more beautiful life full of love, honor and respect! :)

Your video made me both smile and be sad. I was in S. Korea in the US military, and found the S. Korean people wonderful, I loved their respect and kindness to me as a foreigner living in their land. I know how advanced and prosperous S. Korea is in comparison to the North Korean people. I felt like the N. Koreans are living in a concentration camp where they are not allowed to know much beyond their own culture and what they are told. The North has so much potential, but the Kim regime will never let them fulfill what they could be. Have you read George Orwell's 1984? That is what imagine it's like to live there. Fear and Paranoia are the standards. If unification should ever happen the rest of the world will have to spend time on a whole country trying to help them overcome the trauma it has been living with for decades, almost a hundred years. That's a long time to have therapy as a nation. As a gay man, I can only imagine the horrors that my people in your country have gone thru. The Kim family, that we so hoped would be better because the current leader who was educated in Switzerland and other places, who knew better, would be a way out. It seems like that is a lost hope. Between Kim Jung Un and when he dies, let it be soon, his sister, the people are just going to have to be the ones to kick them out. But do they even know anything beyond Un? That there is hope, literally just beyond the border? No they don't. The Kims don't want them to know. The only other alternative is to wait for a conflict that no one wants but will be over quickly, or to wait for the inevitable collapse of a country that will take a long time and be worse for the people living there. There are no happy options unless the people themselves will rise up and say, "Enough." This is the essence of a democracy - for the people to know that the rulers rule only at the tolerance and forbearance of the ruled. It's what keeps dictators up at night, afraid, their sleep troubled, and their fists closed tight. I hope your words find a way into the Hermit Kingdom.

Tipping is not about the food well unless your server got your order incorrect like multiple times then that means he or she simply is not doing the job correctly. But tipping is ment to positively reinforce good service because waiters and waitresses notoriously get paid horrendously low wages. So an easy way to figure out the appropriate amount you should tip is start with 10% so say the bill is 45.00 you simply move the decimal one place to the left and you have 10% that is 4.50 now if you want to be generous like if its a holiday or if you are on a date or having a large gathering you could double the tip to 20% which would turn that 4.50 into 9.00 which to make it easy you could just give the waitresses/waiter a $10. On the other hand say the server was very neglectful of your table and got several items incorrect and you had to ask for things like refills of water, bread, salad, or the bill at the end rather then him or her paying attention you could deduct as much as you feel appropriate or not give a tip at all if the situation calls for it. Tho no tip is an extremely rare instance. Hope that clears up confusion for anyone wondering.

It’s so nice to see them all so happy and laughing. What a stark contrast from where they came from. BTW has anyone else noticed how beautiful North Korean women are?

These revelations open me up so much, made me to be more nice to others and realizing the great value of "freedom". America is such a greatest land of freedom and opportunity.

She is Beautiful And Her Story is So Beautiful

It is so important to keep the 'great vision' that others have of America a Reality! It's a beautiful vision, the way it should be.

You never had to apologize for something you didn’t know. They lied to you because of their own fear, greed and shame. They have to lie or everyone would want to leave, they are evil not the people. God bless you and welcome!

I am always amazed and humbled by the journeys these wonderful people have taken for a better life. Especially to then go to a country like the USA where you have been told only bad things about. Having grown up in the USA I have never struggled at this level where you need to actually escape. I did have 2 foster brothers back in the 80's that escaped Vietnam through Cambodia, which was an unbelievably, amazing, heroic, fearful, evil and abusive trip to finally find a foster home in Madison, WI. Can you even imagine a child being forced to escape without his family in hopes that he will survive the journey to the US so he can earn money to send back home. They lie to us here in the USA all of the time but NK takes it to evil levels.

Back when I was in grad school (late 1970's), the one thing about the USA exchange students from the People's Republic of China were completely baffled about was discovering the same item could sell for a different price in different stores. And how pissed-off they were if they'd shopped at the higher price one!

What an incredible and inspiring account, esp. knowing what would've happened to her if she were caught in the process of defecting.

I'm glad she was treated so well. I wish all Americans were as well mannered.

thank you for sharing your story.

I'm so glad and happy you had a wonderful time in the USA...I hope you will come back again ! ... So many places to see, things to do i'm sure you will have a wonderful time and adventure. After seeing your video posted, it made me happy knowing that you had the chance to see us and talk with us. As you have seen first hand we are not what NK said we were like nor how we treat people. I just wanted to say as well ..... '' Hello , so nice to meet you, and only wish the very best for you and your family. God Bless

A fascinating show. Well done and thanks for posting.

This is sooooooooo interesting I love it. They’re so pretty and I love their outfits. I do wonder if they feel a need to be overly complementary because of how they grew up. We have tons of flaws in the US.

I see hope for the future of humanity in this beautiful group of stories. It’s so easy to take what we have for granted and that is why we should always give thanks to god for giving us what we need to survive each day and for the health to provide for our families. One day humanity will have to come together in the realization that we are all brothers and sisters. Solving our problems with war is not the answer ever. This is a great example of us creating prejudice simply because we don’t know how the others truly live, and at some point humanity has to come together to solve all of humanities, tough problems poverty homelessness, and starvation will be eradicated. God bless this world and god bless all who have fought for the freedoms that every human should have. ❤❤

There's an Old American TV show that is comedy medical drama, and it's called M.A.S.H. - 4077. It's an American TV show that showed the chaos from the American side of the Korean war where American DOCTORS TRY TO STOP THE WAR IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAYS!!! I think it would be incredibly interesting to see ALL THE D.P.R.K. Perspective on this entire series!!! I hope that it can be translated into N.K. Language so they can understand what is going on!!! But I would love to see everyone's reactions on this CLASSIC AMERICAN TELEVISION SHOW!

I love what these people had to say and that they are free to do what they please. It is heartening to hear how their lives have improved since leaving North Korea. It is hard to read the subtitles so quickly though, some are up for a longer time than others and I am not a speed reader lol

Thank you for tellin all this to us. You are very wellcome allso to Finland, country where lives the happiest people on world.

To the first lady: What a brave young woman! I felt tears fall not only out of sympathy of her struggle and brainwashing, but immense gratitude and happiness that she’s free from that life now. Welcome home! We’re so excited you’re here! ❤🥹

Makes me cry.

I always like seeing you. So happy your still doing well.

Welcome to the USA, God bless you! 🇺🇸♥️🙏

Tipping is not "required", I don't care what people say. I give a good tip for good service and a bad or no tip for bad service. I don't get a tip where I work, no matter how good a job I do.

Enjoyable video. Interesting to hear different viewpoints. I wish them all the best.

Interesting to hear your experiences. Thank you.

I love to hear you talk. To me your voice is like music. I hope that you succeed in all of your endeavors, and all of your dreams come true.

It is sad, that such people with passion for cooperation and peace and with ability to change their views, if evidence proves them false, are not leaders of North Korea. And even if the dictatorship falls, it will be very dificult to handle the contrast between propaganda and reality for many of North Koreans. Every single person who can run away and also helps others to understand, how precious our democracy ist (not just american type), has my appreciation.

Ma'am, you owe us no apology; you aren't to blame for brainwashing yourself. Thank God you survived, and bless you for speaking out.

Much respect for your courage to defect and also to see that America wishes the best for the North Korean people.

I really liked this video and learned a lot!

Excellent video!

God Bless you!❤ it must have been a real awakening for you when you came to the U.S.!

Horray for Ameria!

Thank you.

0:02 I miss her on here

You're an amazing strong women and very brave, you are a blessing, my arms are open to you! salute!!!!

Love them!

I appreciate that the first woman wore her DPRK military uniform for the interview. She served her country, and that's to be respected even if her country is currently hostile to... well most of the rest of the world really, though obviously with a special hate for America. She should be proud to serve her people, and it's truly tragic that her country is in such a toxic state that she had to defect - not for ideals, initially, but simply for survival.

Interesting characters... the one hoping for reincarnation, the most fun for me. They seemed sincere. They seemed to have generally good experiences with Americans they met. I hope things work out for them. The mother who sent her young daughter across the world in hope for a better future is something else. That's a lot of trust in foreigners and foreign governments.

I would love to have the opportunity to sit down and talk with a North Korean person freely, without them being in fear. We could have dinner. We're all just people, why not be friends? I have huge respect for these ladies, what they went through, and how they improved their lives.

So sweet. Makes me feel happy to be an American.

The first lady was very i formative and engaging. She was a treat to watch and listen to. Thank you.

Freedom will always triumph over oppression.

where is the link to her channel?

To the second lady. The great thing is that you don't have to wait for a second life. Anyone who loves America and freedom is more than welcome to become an American.

Kudos to her

We're bigger because we have food. Its terrible what their leaders have done to them and continue to do. I can only hope there is some way for that to end as soon as possible. We do not hold any ill will towards the NK people, we only wish for the best for them

Bravo!

As an american for all of my life, they (Americans) arent all very great, however i hope all of these people and people who defect from north korea or any country like that to the U.S, i hope they all get great experiences here, and i hope they are respected from citizens

I often pray for the people of North Korea. I'm glad you were able to see for yourself.

Koreans have lived in our above the arctic circle in Alaska town of 4000 people. Mostly Inupiaq Eskimo. We all get along just fine. No roads in or out. Plane, boat or snow molbile to get in and out. Koreans , as well as Indian, Zimbabwe and all over the world . People don't bicker like the rest of the world. I'm Eskimo and I love Korean food!😁👍

the reason america is wealthy is not just because its a democracy its a democratic republic with capitalism, which enables the wealth for its citizens to reach their dreams & goals & socialism, which provides care & economic security for its citizens, ie social security, welfare, disability, etc...

i’m in love with the south korean girl at the end. Omg so beautiful

Well done mam
