@chillinebony I also noticed the numerous interruptions during the woman's interview. One of the important interruptions were when she was asked about "racism" in North Korea, and whether or not she experienced any, and she gave a very analytical comment which he obviously did not want to hear. She stated that there was some racism before she learned more about the culture and language, but afterwards she did not experience any more and was totally accepted, HOWEVER, unlike in the Western predominantly white societies where racism is practiced "INDEFINITELY" regardless of how well you adapt to the culture and languages. It was that part when I noticed him to talk over her before she completed the full sentence, and went quickly to another question as if it was an uncomfortable answer for him, and possibly for some of his viewers..

It is not the whole interview so coming to a conclusion is difficult, but from the snippets, the man was trying to get emotional responses from the woman, was obviously interested in negatively portraying the North Koreans and her decision to currently remain outside her homeland, if he was intelligent he would realise such an act is complicated for her,as her roots where torn and there could be other ramifications to her return, also she has personal reasons too.his making of that statement " but you are still here" is a stupid statement, he seeks to give the impression she is unwilling to return to her homeland. All in all from the snippets of this interview it is bs.

This is journalistic voyeurism at its best, The interviewer lacks basic decency and seems to enjoy her heartbreaking personal tragic history. She handled his questions with elegance and humility. Lovely lady.

If North Korean culture is anything like the rest of East Asian culture, this isn't true. In the West you always have a chance to integrate given you speak the language and adhere to the culture. In East Asian cultures, you can never be fully assimilated since there's no multicultural element to speak of.

The interviewer is awful and sadistic. I don't know him, but he seems to revel in the gutter. I wish this woman healing, blessings, restoration, and recovery.

I feel like the interviewer had an agenda and was mad that she described Kim II sung as a good person and a caring father figure to her atleast. They painted him to be evil and heartless but as she said, he could have handed her over and she would have been dead. Her father was dead so she wasn't an asset for him. The fact that he made sure she went to boarding school and was actively staying in contact with her is very interesting.

She leads a very humble life now, but possesses a remarkable story that no one has ever heard of. I hope a publisher or film studio reaches out to her so she can tell her story to the world.

My family and l sufferd from the evil of her father,l have families murdered under her father's regime and up till the day of today we are still suffering from the evil of her uncle,whom has been rulling the country for 45 years and counting. Reading that she got a book published it's like a blow straight to all the guineans people face. Some will stand for her and say it was her father who did it,good for them. As for me and most people seeing her trying to act normal is really painful !!! Shame on her!!!

@@well_i_liked_it, when you have suffered that level of oppression and evil it's hard to get over it. Till this day I can't visit my country neither go bury some of my beloved ones cause we are blacklisted by her uncles oppression. You are entitled to your opinion and so I am with my pain, therefore I don't think what she says in her book will bring some light or whatever she pretends,l am not interested. Greetings from Spain.

A sad, but inspiring story told by a very elegant and eloquent person. To be left in a foreign country without explanation and cruelly separated from hers mother, must have been a very traumatic experience for her. I wonder how she was able to leave the hermit kingdom that is the DPRK. I would have loved to have heard more of her story. A full-length documentary and even a film about her story would be absolutely fascinating.

I could only bear to witness a mere two minutes of the interview, as my heart shattered into a thousand pieces. The reporter, devoid of compassion and empathy, ruthlessly persisted in his questioning, as if seeking to draw forth even more tears from her already anguished soul. The cruelty and inhumanity displayed left me incapable of continuing, overcome with a profound sadness for the pain inflicted upon her fragile heart.

Sad that an innocent little girl was abandoned by her mother. Mum probably had no choice. Glad that she now has such a positive outlook for the future.

A strange and sad tale. What a lovely sweet lady.

Ah, this lady ! Elegant and Eloquent and so humble. Her life experience is so traumatic and yet , she rises above and still she chooses to be her very best. May God Bless her. Thank you!

It's a luck woman. If are in Guine at time of his father downfall could end in throubles.

My god, the way the interviewer was trying to trap her with "I got you" questions was outright ridiculous. I'm glad she did not fall for it.

The interviewer was inappropriate for this case I am glad others felt the same way. I felt he was insensitive and lacked empathy, almost like he wanted to get some "traumatic response " out of her. Theres a better way to ask questions and get the story told without doing that.

It is extraordinary, she actually feels Korean. It was an amazing life, living in North Korea, protected and being looked after by the president, and finally leaving and seeing "world". May her heart finds peace and may she find a way to enrich the world with the lessons she learnt by living in the two worlds.

Why is that 'extraordinary'? Children are famous for their adaptability, are they not? It's a biological mechanism to ensure a child is still able to bond with their caretaker should they lose their parents/family/birth country.

@@liladance3506 When was the last time you heard of someone visiting North Korea, let alone growing up there? Even if you heard of one, when was the last time you heard of one who grew up being protected by the president? North Korea is not like Sweden, USA, Denmark etc... where people come and go, and adopting is a normal thing. Monique's life is extraordinary ! Very few people living in USA, U.K have seen what she has seen. I could have agreed with you if you had said, every life is extraordinary. But I can't agree with you saying there is nothing extraordinary about her life. But that's okay, we all have a right to see things the way we want to see them.

More a luck history, because if she are in Guine at time of his father downfall, things could by worse. Their only problem was the missing of mother at early age.

What a fantastic human this lady is , God protect her

Her story is amazing, and she answers with such calmness and poise. I wish they used another interviewer because this guy just kept cutting in without letting her finish.

Dang could’ve gave her a tissue like wtf

im glad i stumbled into this amazing story.

I feel like the interviewer low key tried to diss her when he mentioned that she is “ a shopkeeper working in London” 👀

I find it fascinating how racism has been blocked out of North Korea because their people have been secluded from Western morals, it is absolutely fascinating how she explained she didn't sense racism after adopting into the North Korean culture. It is also fascinating how she noticed that racism is very much present in the west even if people share the same cultural values. I am kinda seeing that the cost behind maintaining western "freedoms" is without a shred of doubt racism and discrimination, it has been happening for centuries to point that we accept it as NORMAL. This woman is key to unlocking a glimpse of a parallel universe of how Earth could have been had western nations not had the opportunity to enforce racism and discrimination as payment for "freedom".

What a terrible interviewer. Get this woman a good interviewer, we’d love to hear her story.

Very interesting yet heartbreaking, in more ways than one. The fact that she was raised by a Dictator, who actually kept his promise, is amazing. May God bless this woman; "her" story is truly unique.

She's incredibly brave for speaking about her experiences. It sounds like she had a fasincating life. I'd love for any future interviews with her to be done justice by a compontent interviewer.

It's obvious her parents felt that they would get executed and that their daughter would be safe in North Korea, away from any revenge missions by new regimes. Her mother must have been equally devastated.

she obviously speaks Korean like a native, and her ENglish is good.. she would make a good asset in politics and on the diplomatic level...
