This story was an emotional one for me personally, because I lived & taught English in South Korea 🇰🇷 for 2 years and I spent 4 days traveling in North Korea 🇰🇵. Munho is an absolute rockstar. This is the very first time that he’s shared his escape story publicly, so let’s all share some appreciation for him in the comments below (which he will read!) My obsession with the entire Korean Peninsula has grown after meeting Munho and hearing his perspectives and wild stories. And at the end of the day - we are both the same (despite growing up in enemy countries) and we have become great friends! Thank you for being here to spend 20 minutes of your day to watch this story 🙏🏼 I hope you have a great day, and remember that freedom is not always free.

Small world -- Munho is a former language student of mine! We met through a nonprofit in Korea that helps with English language education to people from North Korea. He is incredibly intelligent, talented, and outgoing. I would like to stress that since arriving in South Korea, Munho has traveled well around the world and completed a specialized education in film. He briefly mentions that he is working on a script, but the program he was a part of was rigorous and intensive. Munho worked with well known Korean directors and film industry individuals. He will be known to the world sooner or later! He is one of the best people I have had the pleasure of meeting and have the honor of calling a friend! - much love, Jesús (지저쓰 쌤)

kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5x4qpaehpafZpM.htmlsi=4e8ps4mqTqwPHNxL Compared to her story ☝ It was *very* short and vague. Potong is a river that flows through Pyongyang and the district is called Potonggang-guyok ....this is the *capital city* But (!) Munho said *countryside* 06:26 He also laughed/smiles at 08:54 this is a strange reaction from an alleged defector. He either is fake or doesn't care so much about his family left behind. 북한에 버린 가족 생각날때 웃음이 나온다는 거 말이 됩니까? Also why didn't they defect together? Something is odd about this man 🤔 He's lying to Drew (Possibly) I can't find Munho (문호 탈북자/탈북인/탈북이야기) anywhere. So I suggested to add the hashtags #탈북자 and #탈북민 to this video so that other North Defectors can see this and give their opinion about him (see if he's legit) Drew said I can ask him (Munho) questions but I have not been provided his socials (?) He's already agreed to appear on KZread on Drew's Channel...so no excuse about "protecting identity" + there are many North Defectors on KZread telling their story. 06:16 "that was more difficult than cross the border" 이런식으로 농담하는 탈북자도 수상하다... 저도 한국에 살았고 탈북자들과 만났거든요 이런 탈북자 난생처음 보았습니다.

Hey Drew - fellow Phoenician here! Love your channel and feel a little proud that you’re from my hometown. Go AZ! Munho is amazing. But I’m worried. Worried about his family, worried about him… And the South’s tendency to keep their new Northern brethren at arm’s length makes me a little sad. I wonder if the South is the right place to resettle after all. 🤔 I would like to see Munho’s films; do you have links? And I’d encourage him to write his story! I’d buy that book! --Peace and love!

Korean classic cold noodle is Pyongyang naengmyeon (actually Seoul naengmyeon) with a clear broth and no spicy spices like chili. Korea's classic naengmyeon is the blandest in the world. No matter how spicy you introduce koreab food, it is an undeniable fact that traditional Korean food is not spicy at all, is mild, and brings out the natural taste of the ingredients.

Comparing the 2 fish markets...... I wonder which one HAS MORE WASTE!! Serious question!! 😢🇨🇦. ( I can very rarely afford seafood......)

As much as I love the content of this channel and admire the people underneath it for creating it, I find it somehow disturbing and distressing that live animals are being diced alive with no one batting an eye and everyone dismissing it as "local culture". I sometimes wish channels like this one would not pink wash distressing realities like this one, or even the horror of having had to escape North Korea. We just can't make a North Korea vs South Korea comparison by looking at how friendly people are at a seafood market in downtown Seoul.
