Last year, the defection of Thae Yong-ho, a deputy ambassador at the North Korean embassy in London and a seasoned propagandist for the Kim Jong-un regime, sent shockwaves around the world. In a number of recent press interviews, the former Pyongyang diplomat has offered testimonies that reveal the harsh reality of life in North Korea. But his personal stories were hardly made public.
In this first episode of Special Peninsula 24, we sit down for a candid interview with Thae, where he discusses personal motives behind his defection, a struggle against an ideology of tyranny and a perilous journey to freedom.
죽음과 맞바꾼 선택
지난해 영국 주재 북한 대사관 공사로 김정은 체제를 위해 헌신하던 태영호 공사의 대한민국 망명은 국제사회의 큰 이슈가 되면서 충격을 주었다. 최근 태영호 전 공사는 국내외 언론을 통해 북한의 참혹한 현실과 김정은의 실체를 폭로하며 북한의 실상을 알리고 있다. 하지만 자신의 자전적 이야기는 쉽게 들을 수 없었다.
탈북의 마지막까지 수많은 변수가 있었던 태공사의 탈북 결심과 계기, 이념에 대한 고뇌 등 진실한 삶을 찾아 북한을 떠나온 태영호의 진솔한 이야기를 [Special Peninsula 24]에서 나눠본다.

Yes he is I don't understand why some south Koreans are saying he's stupid they're little kids who's kissing Kim Jong Un fat 🐖 dictator behind. Thae Yong-ho said in 2020 that Kim Jong Un was sick because he wasn't seen for a while and they got mad made him apologize they're brutal with the stupid statements like that they didn't even think he may have contacts secretly in North Korea it was reported in the US Kim Jong Un was sick too which was true people that defected after him that were high up too as diplomats said he was with a bunch of doctors nursing his fat glutenous 🐖 behind his ankles have gout from his diet he rode a horse and his ankles caved in when get got off the horse 😂. Thae Yong-ho is the highest ranking ever to defect he has the most information of all of the people. He can bring this regime down if the US and south Korea along with Europe take him seriously those kids calling him stupid can get him ignored then south Korea will suffer the affects if the world especially China keeps allowing him to sell oil and gas to them using that money to develop his nuclear weapons further.

They’re all victims and this one who escaped now can testify to the reality. It’s not easy for him too, having to sacrifice his other relatives. I’m sure there are those like him in position who want to also escape for freedom but they just remain comfortable and feed the dictatorship because it doesn’t affect them being among the elites. This man sacrificed himself even to the wrath of his relatives for what he has done for better good of the majority rather than only his relatives. God bless him🙏

Yes exactly he's very brave most can't make this decision because this stupid ass brutal regime Kim made he makes sure he documented everyone in this system even poor people so when they defect he locks their entire family away as a brutal punishment to stop other. He's stupid to do this when he could've made a country everyone could've been happy to work for. NK people especially around him will get spooked and plot his death because they don't want there family to end up in there either. I can't wait for that to happen I wish we could drop a bomb on him but we're trying to save the innocent people there.

This is sad as a black American we're watching this in horror That this brutal regime can exist it should've been shut down long ago. The world is watching in horror because American of color still experience racism and instant death like George Floyd so if this brutal system can exist today in north Korea it can spread across the country. I hope all Koreans are united soon.

@@violetsrayreikishop2 I feel for you Angela, I'm not American. We have probs with racism here but we've never had segregation and slavery. Black people here tend to have more top jobs than in the US. We tend to socialise with different ethnic groups more. My best friend at university was a black man and I have friends who are mixed race, white, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi. We don't have segregated areas compared to the US. The word African American gets on my nerves because they don't say English American, white American etc. There's a KZfaqr who's a black guy that moved to England and I'll link his channel.

His former career and his voice are so realistic about North Korea and Kim J un regime . Official diplomat people must rethink to leave N Korea when they face Kim J un killed his uncle. His voice is so important as he was a diplomat and he knew N Korea's society and horrible system. A lots of defectors talked about horrible like in N Korea. Mr Thea worked to Kim J un regime and help him to make an decision every steps aways for Kim J un. He is risking his life and hope he enjoys new life and freedom forever.

They already had that policy back when Thae was still under North Korea. Kim Jong Un is such a pussy that he wanted embassadors to leave one child behind. Thae said he was dragging every timn, coming up with excuses to make sure his family stayed together. The reason he decided to defect to South Korea was when he no longer had any excuses and his son's had to go back with him all together. He fled to S. Korea for his kids basically. Great father.

It doesn't matter he keeps their brothers sisters parents aunts nieces and nephews documented so when people defect he go after them it's horrific treatment Kim Jung Un needs to be tortured in the same came when he's brought down so he can experience what he put innocent people through. He lied chagrin Thae with rape and other charges to justify punishing his family.
