The trouble is, then what? It would become a humanitarian crisis unseen perhaps in human history. While their government is oppressing and even murdering them, it is also the only thing currently keeping them all fed and somewhat organized as a society. If you removed that, without something to immediately take its place, I fear that the consequences would be disastrous. Mass starvation, rioting, and a mass exodus from the country would be pretty much guaranteed. And I don't think that such refugees would appreciate the 'welcome' that they would receive from China, for instance, whose armed forces are already posted at the border of their 'ally', probably to gun down any waves of refugees trying to enter China, who would just be a burden upon their society. And if they fled to South Korea, while I believe that they would be treated far more humanely, I am still not optimistic about their prospects. Potentially millions of people would be flooding into a tiny, overpopulated country that is only currently so successful due to its high standards of education, healthcare, and international trade. Unskilled labor at that level would destroy the economy completely. Of course, many of the North Korean refugees would likely be sent to the artificial islands that Japan has been constructing precisely for such a scenario, but it simply wouldn't be enough. Let's also not forget the hurtles of cultural integration, and healthcare. The future is bleak for North Korea no matter what happens.

@@rianaconklin6954 I'm so glad resources were available when your family needed them! I always required my boys to give me the number of old toys to be replaced with new birthday or Christmas presents. At first, I would take the toys to a donation drop off. The boys resented seeing their toys just disappear, so it wasn't teaching them anything really. I finally realized they needed to physically see why they needed to let go of toys they rarely played with and others could enjoy. I'll never forget their first visit to the women's shelter. It was located in a not great area of downtown. The building and parking lot (the only outside play area) were surrounded by a fence topped with razor wire and you had to be buzzed into the building to maintain security. Overall the exterior had a very grim institutional feel. The shelter director took us on a tour of the facility. She showed my boys a small sparse bedroom where a mom slept with her 3 children. The common area playroom consisted of a few small toddler toys, one of those orange/yellow kiddie cars and a small tv. My boys already knew there were children from infant to 12 years old currently in residence. They wanted to know what the older children played with. The director told them the older ones pushed the younger ones in the kiddie car and watched cartoons on TV, from toddler to pre-school programs. My boys were shocked and couldn't unload their toys fast enough. When the kids from the shelter got home from school, my sons had an opportunity to talk to the ones close to their age. They talked about having to leave their homes, possessions and friends to make sure their moms and they were safe. It was a world my boys had no concept existed. Telling kids there are people with unmet needs and showing them those families truly impacted them. They voluntarily began putting toys, clothes, etc aside to take to the shelter quarterly. They bonded with the shelter children and worried when they moved on; either to a new start or back to the abusive husband, father, boyfriend. My children also learned every story doesn't have a happy ending but that doesn't mean you stop trying. I think we are all in this crazy world together. My goal is to hopefully send two compassionate, analytical, independent men into the world. You have a beautiful spirit. Keep touching people's hearts!!

I am really happy that she has more opportunities now, and I hope that she will experience many happy things in the future. I also hope that she is able to heal from her pain, I really hope the best for her.

my grandfather was a veteran both in the Korean war and Vietnam war he died in 2011 and he told me always to be grateful of what little we have because people less unfortunate than us have it nearly 10 times worse and we don't know hate and war never brings the world any closure compassion and sympathy will always be the key" back then I didn't know what those words meant and i asked him to explain what he meant i said to write it down until you can i promise that it will be eye-opening gramps I miss you and i love you thank you for all you've done for all of us

Thank you for your service. You deserve to be treated with all the dignity and respect. I can’t imagine all the pain you’ve endured, especially as a mother who was not supported. I’m so glad you’re able to live in S. Korea and have the safe space you need to grieve and heal in your own time. 💞

It hurts my heart to see this woman in so much pain. She has been through more than most of us could possibly ever understand. I pray she finds peace, healing, and true happiness free from the pain of all of her past traumas.

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that and were treated like that. Thank you for sharing your story, you're an incredibly brave person.

YOU are honorable... The whole world should listen to this wonderful woman.. I wish i could help North Koreans especially the children..

Thank you very much for your service and bravery. You are more than deserving of honor and respect for your selfless service. You have my respect.

I just want to give this strong and brave woman a hug. I want to take her pain away♥️

This one was hard to watch. I have so much respect for this woman, and I've never met her. If I were to ever get the chance however, I would just want to give her a huge hug. And a salute.

All soldiers everywhere should be honored for their service to their country and the sacrifices they have made. Since I feel like we in the U.S. have adopted you as an honorary citizen, I'm sending you tons of love, honor, respect and hugs from America.

I just want to say that she is an honorable person. I remember from an earlier video she had said that she would secretly take people to see their families. That right there is an example of being an honorable person. She helped so many people with that. She should hold her head up high and be proud of the person she is.

I appreciate her honesty and openness and willingness to express emotions. It is hard to hear her talk about the horrible way she's been treated and the things she's had to endure, but it really illustrates just how desperate things are in NK. We take a lot for granted in our privileged lives. I applaud her courage. Thank you for all your hard work and determination, Ms Kim, thank you for your service.

I can't express my feelings... It's a mix of sadness, joy, marcy, empathy, broken heart. I know it's probably nothing, but I will give you a big hug and let you try all italian's snacks that I have ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope life will smile at you and bring you the joy, love and happiness you so much deserve. Thank you for your service, your story and your kindness to us all. Love you from Italy ❤️🇮🇹❤️

I am a U.S. Vet. I feel this womans pain. I understand we come from different countries and different values. But nonetheless we were soldiers. So from one vet to another. Be at peace. I respect your service and wish you a happy and fulfilling life. May the people of North Korea be free from the horrors of their everyday lives someday. Until then. Keep moving forward and pushing the boundaries. The West is waiting for great people.

I don’t care what country you’re from, you served your country and your people. You earned and deserve respect and thanks for serving. I’m happy that you are safe and in a country that is supportive. Take care

Sadness,compassion and pain. Wish her healing and peace.

My heart is just breaking for her. I pray for you, Jeong-Hwa Kim! I hope that your pain will be healed and I hope that you know that so many of us American viewers are so inspired and touched by your strength and courage! You are such a wonderful woman and I pray the best things over you and your family! ❤️. Love from America! 🥰

Kim Jung Ah, You are still serving your country well, just in a different way... by telling the world what the people of North Korea go through, in hopes that one day they will be free. Thank you for your service. Much love from a US Army wife. 💜

Your past does not define you. You did what you did to survive. You are one of if not the strongest woman to be on KZread. Your bravery and the strength you have is so insanely admirable. You are human. Thank you for being so brave to share your stories and your life with all of us. You are so strong and beautiful and an inspiration. We thank you.

Sharing these experiences with the rest of the world is also service. It's service to the rest of humanity, to the world. You have been through so much more than most, and that takes extreme strength and courage! Thank you for your service!
