Today in Chicago, I had the pleasure to meet a young North Korean girl named Evelyn. 6 years ago, when she was 15 years Evelyn, she escaped North Korea with her mother for a better life. Both without passports, they spent 1 month traveling by foot across China, Laos and Thailand - where the South Korean government officially recognized her as a refugee and she was granted permission to migrate to the United States of America.
In this eye-opening interview, Evelyn tells me her escape story and how she has managed to integrate so well into American society. She lives all by herself and just bought her first car (with her hard-earned income!).

My life in North Korea vs South Korea
UPDATE. A year after publishing this video, I decided to make another video that explains why it might not be a good idea to travel to North Korea yourself: I know it's ironic of me to say it as I've been there myself, but please think twice before making that decision. Also, if you want to learn more about the history of North Korea, watch this other video I made that's only 4 minutes long:

One year ago I went on a strictly guided 7 day-tour in North Korea where they took away my passport and did not allow me to explore anything on my own. North Korea was definitely the weirdest country I had ever visited and throughout that trip I kept wondering what life was like in the neighboring South Korea, because it used to be the same country just over 60 years ago.
To answer my questions, this year I traveled to South Korea and made this video, where I compare my time in the North and my time in the South. I still have a lot of questions about the whole situation, but one thing was clear - the daily lives of the Korean people couldn't be any more different than they are right now.
My favorite books about North Korea:
Dear Leader by Jang Jin Sung -
Escape From Camp 14 by Blaine Harden -
Nothing To Envy by Barbara Demick -
1984 by George Orwell (I couldn't believe how similar some things in North Korea felt to the ones in the book) -

WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ESCAPE FROM NORTH KOREA?
We've all heard stories about people escaping North Korea for a better life... and today in Seoul (South Korea), I was able to sit down with one ambitious North Korean girl named Nara, to hear the struggles that she went through.
Long story short, Nara escaped North Korea in 2015 by swimming over the river into China. Then, she illegally entered Thailand without a passport, where she was thrown in jail for 1 month. After getting in touch with the South Korean embassy, they granted her citizenship and allowed her to move to Seoul.
While it was difficult for her to adjust to South Korean culture at first, she now lives a great life as an actress on TV and making videos for her YouTube and Instagram accounts (@kang_naraa)
This has been a special story for me to create because I spent 4 days in North Korea in 2017 and I got a glance at what society she grew up in... We chatted about everything from her thoughts on Kim Jong-un to the struggles that she faces adjusting to life in South Korea today.
If you find Nara's story inspiring - please share this video with your friends!

Resilience and Education: Schools for North Korean Defectors in South Korea | Robloak [ENG]
Subscribe to
Since the armistice agreement ending the Korean War in 1953, more than 31,000 North Koreans have chosen to escape their country and start a new life in South Korea.
Despite sharing the same ethnicity and language, differences in background, perspectives, and lifestyles make adapting to the new environment challenging for North Korean refugees.
This has led to the establishment of schools specifically for North Korean defectors in South Korea.
This episode has been filmed in 2018.

North Korean Living in NYC (Yeonmi Park)
This is my 2nd YouTube channel, if you don't already subscribe to my main channel, you can check it out here:
This is a sequel to the first story I made with Yeonmi Park in Chicago:
I caught up with my friend Yeonmi Park, perhaps the most well-known North Korean refugee. She recently moved from Chicago to New York, and she tells me about her life living in the South Korean neighborhood of the city, and how she is evolving as a newly U.S. citizen (yes, she just got her U.S. passport!)
Yeonmi Park is one of the strongest, most resilient people on this planet, and it was truly a pleasure to get to meet her again. Check out her YouTube channel, where she makes stories about the cruel life in North Korea:
