@Richard Myers coming from NK he might figure “oh! Every time I wanna go to a free hotel I just gotta booze and drive?! Let’s go !”

Knowing about the mines and not caring really puts it into perspective the kind of hell he was trying to escape. I could be wrong but I doubt anyone from anywhere else on this earth would rather risk blowing up instead of just going back home.

Yep, from what I have watched on yt, if the defector got caught, they would either be killed immediately or worse, get tortured and forced to do hard labors without anything in return. Some defectors even had rat poison ready in case they get caught

Anyone would go back home except for North Koreans, shi the inhumane things ive heard that happens there i would rather blow up than go back, tbh i think any North Korean would rather blow up . They have the highest suicide rate

His immediate response of just how cool kangyoo is is great. Like he knew he was sitting next to a real life action hero.

He didn’t describe what life in North Korea was like, but you can get a pretty good picture when he would have rather exploded with a mine while trying to escape than continue living there. I’ve watched other defector videos and it’s truly just unbelievable what they have to go through

Kangyoo just warms my heart. He's so kind, patient, and understanding.

Even though this doesn't effect me, as an American, I pray for the day North Korean people are free from their tyrannical government. And they can freely be in peace with their South korean brothers. It's so sad that even with S. Korea being such an unknown to them, anything seemed better than what they were dealing with.

Would love to see more Q&A type videos between north and South Koreans. This is great dialogue very eye opening

SO much respect for these brave refugees. glad to see them shine in a free country. I hope their friends back home can see them now.. and someday live free too. Salute!

how desperate does a person has to be to run across a minefields?and dmz has the most dense minefields..glad he made it out alive..

Love seeing Kangyoo meet a different member. And it's great to finally hear his story. Glad he made it over safely without loss of life or limb. And glad he got hooked up with a girlfriend! I wish the best for you, Kangyoo. I always enjoy your videos.

I really enjoyed watching a regular S. Korean ask real questions they wanted to know from a N Korean. Do this again!

Reality is often scarier and stranger than fiction

I love Kangyoo ❤️ and Haneul, another defector who often makes videos with him. They are so kind and so sweet, so gentle and caring even though they have been through hell. I wish that all the North Korean people were able to have basic necessities, let alone freedom and happiness. 😥 I am so glad that they escaped safely and that they are happy, healthy, and prosperous. 🙏❤️

Such a brave man!! I’m so happy his bravery was rewarded with his freedom. Hope he has a long and happy life. 🙏

Honestly, I would have thought everyone in South Korea seen that video of the man escaping North Korea. It makes me wonder if most South Koreans know how dangerous it is to escape North Korea?

Yes; that was my thought, too. I remember it being all over US news. On CNN a couple of weeks later, there was a story about how doctors found a never-before-seen species of parasitic worm in the soldier's large intestine through scopes and other tests.

They know. But, I think most Koreans, unless they are actually soldiers, don't think about North Korea too much. Honestly, compared to the US, everyone here seems much more blasé about it. It's kind of like... let's say you live in a neighborhood that has a really creepy house with a bizarre tenant that doesn't get out much. A long time ago, you got involved in the feud between him and his neighbor about where the property line was, but you live on the other side of the neighborhood and only pass by if you want to know what he's up to now. You're convinced one day he could snap and set the whole neighborhood on fire. That's America. Meanwhile South Korea is the neighbor who has gone about renovating his house and basically ignoring the creep on everything except making sure he stays on his side of the fence. Sometimes one of his starving cats comes over to your house, so you take it in, rehabilitate and rehome it. Occasionally you might wake up in the middle of the night and hear weird noises coming from next door, and you just grumble in annoyance, rollover, and go back to sleep. Also, the nosy, paranoid guy from across the neighborhood keeps asking you what he's up to, and you kind of want to brush him off, but he did help you settle the property line dispute, so you just shrug indifferently and say "See for yourself" and go back to mowing your lawn.

This was so entertaining to watch. I found myself reacting the same as Sanghak. The way Kangyoo was telling his escape story, it was so casual that you’d somehow forget how dangerous it really is. Respect.

i know thats easier to say than to do but i really hope that the whole country can someday be united again and this disgusting dictatorship ceases to exist. im living on the other side of the world but seeing stuff like this just drags my mood down

Nice job dimple

The difference between the two of them, one growing up in freedom and not is crazy… you see how he is so light and joking and the other is more reserved. I feel like it’s the influence of America which makes the youth in Japan and South Korea, those born in freedom, begin to question a lot of the rules that come with the culture.

I'm curious about what happened to his family back in the north after he defected. Are they ok? Is he allowed to communicate with them & do they know he is ok? Bless you that was so brave of you. I'm lucky to live in the US

Yoooo somebody need to make a movie about Kangyoo! Damn...

Hope the best for him. Also, these guys are great and show remarkable respect all around. Keep up the positive attitudes! It's very becoming on you guys.

So many of our freedoms we take for granted. Amazing inspirational story to make us take a step back and appreciate what we have.

Wow, very thankful you lived to tell us your life threatening escape, by crossing a mine field to get into to South Korea, you are truly blessed, someone was watching over you, also much lol to the co host, he understands the danger you were in and your simple response to a miracle is very humbling, you over come all obstacles to achieve it, even if it meant death is beyond my hearts comprehension, all the best for the future, take care all

His story is a survivor's story; nothing was on his side and he could have died at any moment but he still made it. Hope he likes his new life now

Terrifying; so glad you made it! Hope you are enjoying good vibes and plenty of food!

Great chemistry between those two. The story of his escape is exciting! They should make a movie out of that!

Dimple just keeps getting better.

Very enlightening, plus I shared to facebook, as these are one of a kind stories that are worth knowing, thank you Dimple

I like Sanghak he is cute has a dynamite smile love his laugh. I love his exclamation when he thought the guy got shot by the border guard, this shows he has a lot of compassion which I find very attractive. I wish I could meet someone like Sanghak.

Loved the story. Thank you for sharing.

North Korean defectors are incredibly brave. I hope the transition from restrictions to freedom is not too harsh. I watch a lot of these videos and appreciate what hardships you endure thanks to the information provided. Keep up the good work. This is a great way to disseminate the information about North Korea.

This was awesome! So interesting and informative.

Ran for four miles, climbed over a mountain, could have blown off his leg or died on a land mine at any time, and is like 'if you ask a question and you're rude you can always apologize". Dude has his priorities right!

Kangyoo such a sweetheart! so happy you made it through all of that 💕

This duo is super refreshing 😂💕

When your don’t care about mines that’s when you know life was probably hell back there for him. Craziest for me is the family… imagine running from the country leaving them all behind… We aren’t in the same position so I can’t know how it is but I could never do that in my situation

This really sounds like a Hollywood story ....its crazy that these things still exist in todays world. I am glad he made it though and can live now a way happier and safer life. Also the video kind of reminded me about stories I would hear from Germans who lived behind the wall and tried to escape. They would also shoot if they saw someone trying to escape. Thank God that wall crumbled over 30 years ago. I wonder though if N.Korea and S.Korea will ever become one in the future. For the people in N.Korea I would like that. These people shouldnt be living like they do. Freedom is really precious guys, we need to protect it at any cost and try to give it to those who dont have it yet.

what a brave and determined man.....my respect to you sir

incredible story. his heart was free, so his body followed, mines and murderous guards be damned. would we could all live that bravely. i wish i could shake his hand. honestly i'm on the verge of tears here.

That man is amazing. I'm glad he is safe now

Great video! Love hearing personal stories.

Man I got goosebumps listening to his story. 😮 It was like a movie... Cheers for your new life and brighter future. 🍻

It would have been beyong freaky if this had turned out to be the escape of one of them, without anyone realising before recording the reactions.

MORE OF THIS DUO PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Wow. Brave young man.

Glad he made it through the DMZ and missed all the mines. Guy is a sweetie.

Btw, that defector in the Reaction vid survived is now living in American it said. Thanks guys. Your harrowing experience in escaping from NK was nerve racking to say the least. Thanks for sharing. God bless to you both.🙏😇👪🌱❤️

this this so cool to hear

Please do more videos on this subject 🙏

damm i'm jealous that he got out of here but also so proud someone did it-

i wonder what goes through his head when he realizes he ran through 4kms of one of the most heavily mined place on earth if not the most... Lucky very lucky

holy shit looking at north korea it is so distant from my state of mind it feels unreal when he talks about it

Brave gentleman. I'm glad he made it across, and that's happy! And got a girlfriend! Life is good! :)

Dude just ran head first inside a mined field for 4 hours and actually got through????? This isn't even luck atp this is a fucking miracle

Very smart taking the mountain route, less likely to have landmines....

Wow! What a story...

Wow, Still can't wrap my brains around what Kangyoo said about just walking and not caring about the mines!!! Like wtf. Feels like a movie but it's not. OMG. and his demeanor is so nonchalant.

That's crazy like what country would be like no you can't leave us.

If planning was easier pr even possible and your families safety and livelihood weren't threatened, there would be so many more.

Love the hair styles over there. I hope they catch on over here. 😳

God video!

So he is safe living in south Korea, nice i thought they called him back or something

if you are going to escape NoKor, either you get rescued by SoKor or get shot South Korea is amazing because they still accept defectors from the North

When I seen the thumbnail I thought they were reacting to Bigfoot videos & now that's all I want to see 😂😂😂

It's hard to believe such a place still exists today. It's medieval.

I love it

I have been seeing loads of north korean contents these days and I wonder if the north korean government realize that a lot of their people are escaping as much as they can but they’ll just shrug it off or they will just make an action once there are only few citizens (due to poverty and defectors escaping) in north korea that the only resort is to unify with south korea to end this suffering I mean they can function on their own but still have limits in terms of what are allowed and not allowed to do in both culture? I recently finished watching the spy gone to north and its like south korea is reaching out his hands to north korea but ended up refusing it. How great would it be seeing a train connecting from south to north.
