Prepare yourselves to hear the story of Yeonmi Park because it’s heavy.
When she was a teenager, Yeonmi escaped from North Korea to China. What she experienced was horrible - being sold as a sex slave by border officials, walking across Mongolia in the middle of winter and nearly dying of starvation.
But Yeonmi made it out alive, and now she lives happily in Chicago. She is outspoken about the terrible regime in North Korea and she voices her thoughts on her KZfaq Channel, and through various best selling books. I invite you to share your opinions about Yeonmi’s story and about North Korea in general in the comments below.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and remember that freedom is not always free.
I’ll see you in the next year when I’m kicking off my Saudi Arabia videos!!!

Drew, People, who goes to North Korea they are not allowed to see the reality of North Korean and Korea. Whatever we know with social media. One thing for sure, Kim Jong-Un is not good and people are suffering. I saw same conditions in Libya , while working in 2001. People were not allowed to go out of country, they had no idea about outside world.

Look up yeonmi Park exposed or yeonmi Park lies. Her story changes frequently and she's regularly caught lying. Her story is greatly exaggerated. There's multiple versions of her story and the sex work one is only one of her many versions. Not saying life in North Korea is not hard. But I am saying that yeonmi Park is a liar who's using an exaggerated version of her experience to lie and make money.

This is the best interview I have seen with her. She is an incredible inspiration. I had no idea Yeonmi Park lived in Chicago and I've been an IL resident my whole life, super cool! I also find it super cool that you interviewed her with the Regis hotel behind her (the tallest building in the world designed by a female architect)

This woman is absolutely incredible. I can’t believe how well-spoken she is for someone who learned English in her adulthood (her grammar is basically perfect - how is that even possible?!), and how insightful her views of the Western world are for someone who only recently arrived here from what may as well be another planet. It makes you wonder just how much more untapped human potential is languishing away in North Korea. She is totally inspiring. Bravo, Yeonmi Park, and thank you Drew for arranging this interview.

I watch Yeonmi's videos a lot. But in this video you've brought out her inner self without her carefully prepared format. This was breathtaking to listen to, so animated, so focused. Thank you. This lady is more of an American than so many who were born here, because she doesn't ignore, and SEES the damage that our petty divisions can, and do, bring. She has suffered things that most cannot imagine, let alone survive. I am grateful that she is here to speak boldly about problems that we are so willing to ignore while we head to get coffee.

This testimony is really heartfelt. I'm really glad she made it, and she is right if you were born in the USA you should be very proud because after having lived here for over 25 years, there is not a place in the world I wish to be but here. Love the people, culture, and everything in it. I even tell people sometimes that I was born in the wrong place lol.

Hi Yeonmi, I have read your first book, I am very glad you made it, so sorry you had to go through such a tough life till now, that you finally are free, yes everyone should be free. Good luck with your life. It is so very wrong how people are treated in North Korea, it really should & must change. I know you are trying to get big changes made in Nth Korea, I hope this movement succeeds, humanity needs to exist in free lands. Not in poor dark lands where people are being manipulated & used negatively to their detriment. This is so wrong, everyone needs a free life, absolutely everyone, thanks for sharing, I will support you forever. ❤️

“Find meaning in life. If you have a meaning- everything is bearable.“ beyond true and beautiful words. Thank you Yeonmi for all of your work for human and women’s rights. Please keep doing exactly what you’re doing- I think every word and one can make a difference… Especially in regards to sexual abuse and any matters that people try to censor or refuse to discuss- I think that’s the hardest but most important of it all. We need more of that. And thank you drew for all of your amazing videos and drive to share such important issues and perspectives… Before my epilepsy I always aspired to do what you do for a career, although even if I can’t it makes it not so bad knowing there’s someone out there doing such a great job of it! 🙌🏼💕👍
