The title is wrong. North Korean woman was in America so she saw MANY Americans. US woman saw North Korean woman for the first time
Exactly . Good catch
was just thinking the same thing after she said she went to America
Why u no like American ?
I believe it is possible that the original title was in Korean, and that the proper translation would've been something like "North Korean and American women meet for the first time." I don't speak Korean, unfortunately, but the structure of Korean is very similar to Japanese, and that is how I would have expected to translate such a title from Japanese. Clarification: I have worked as a translator before, specifically for a Japanese woman, but the details are protected by HIPAA.
@@TeacherinTraining39 that's my guess too. I don't speak either language, but have seen translations like that before with Korean and the Japanese languages.
I cannot imagine escaping through multiple borders on my own as a young teen, incredibly bravery
@J that makes it harder
yeah shes made of much tougher stuff than most.
What i don’t get is why she didn’t go to a European country as she was going in that direction.
@@NicholasJH96 she was around south east Asia before she got adopted into US family.
Especially since she was a young woman that just became a teen and it is dangerous even for a full grown woman to do that because of depraved people that will kidnap women (Especially young women) when they least suspect it and sell them in human trafficking rings. So being from NK, its damned if you do and damned if you don't. It is a big gamble. And it sounds like she had people looking after her in her journey but still, all it takes is one look away and someone can disappear.
I’m glad Americans like Megan exist and I think she did a great job of representing us and our values . Much love to North Korea and all humans !
What color blue? Green?
This country was built on immigrants so no matter how she acted, it wooodnt have mattered because this country has well over 300M people so you can just kiss my a*. I’m from Queens, btw so holla at me
@@ex7229 blue and green
Do you know here?how do you know what here values are?
@comment sense we do. stop believing every sensationalist media doomsdayer. thats literally how nk controls its people but you fall for it. America is very big. 99.9% of people are normal and respectful and not racist. racists are just a very loud dangeroud vocal group of losers and obviously the news will focus on that and not just random people being normal. I work at a restaurant we have Vietnamese, koreans, japanese, mexicans, white, black, Nicaraguan, and a girl fresh outa ireland and my good friend who just moved here from Zimbabwe. never seen anyone here hate on anyones race. why would you? no one normal is taught like that. Stop hating every single thing about America. we have problems that should absolutely be fixed but just always focusing on the bad is such a sad way to live.
I live in Denver, and back in 2008, I used to date a North Korean girl. She had an I.D. card from the US state department, and it had her as a refugee in the US. And thru her, I met a few other North Korean refugees here in Denver. The majority of them were at a Korean church.
It made me so proud to know she first came here through Denver. Not surprising at all, Denverites are super kind people for the most part, but it was a feel-good thing for me. Denver's one of those cities anyone is safe in really, I love it here even though I live in Castle Pines now. But there's nothing quite like walking Downtown, especially LoDo's historical district, and interacting with people of so many different cultures and backgrounds. Incredible.
I am very proud of my fellow American for how well she not only presented herself, but how wonderful she was to the lady from NK. And your guest from NK is such an impressive, and tough woman, worthy of respect for her bravery. We'll done, from an American Army Infantry vet. You both are badasses.
@@justinthaim8879 oh lookie, a carl... whats the matter daddy not giving you attention in mommies basement. r/niceguy is more your speed. as in having an honorable mention.
@@justinthaim8879 stop being a whiny baby. You made a smarmy, little child type remark, and this is your pathetic response? Like I said, r/niceguy.
well said, brother.
@@RowdyGrunt he deleted his comment cause he got scared haha. Just another #keyboardwarrior sitting in his dank dark room in their parents house. Thank you so much for your service. Proud to be an American because of our military men & women 💯
Salute 🫡 from an AF Brat gone USCG, Retired Lol 😂
The North Korean woman’s English is extremely impressive. I was stationed in Japan for years and I’ve always had the most respect for North Korean escapees. They have endured so much and they deserve everything we can provide them.
I mean, she lived in the US for years, I would think she would pick up the language.
Impressive.......Most impressive.
Evelyn said one of the most powerful quotes that I have ever heard "I feel more attached to freedom because I can feel it". I have a new hero in my life! Wow!!!
As a Puerto Rican, I am blessed that we are born with automatically US citizenship , and go to the States whenever we pleased.
You’re Americans my man. At birth. I have no clue why you aren’t a state (I do, but it makes no sense to me).
Wow and Im canadian and Im not allowed to go even tho its literally 1 hour drive LMAO
@Ferd To Puerto Rico? You absolutely can go there as a Canadian. There may be some Covid vaccine restrictions, but Canadians can go to any US place they want to with very minor red tape. It’s basically a formality, not a process.
@@nwj03a Yeah we can travel there and to america to visit but we dont have citizenship though
@@nwj03a PR is not a State because they don't want to be a State... They enjoy all the freedoms of being American including welfare and support but they do not have to conform to American Standards. They actually shot up the US Congress when there was a vote to make them a State but people on Jan6 are the bad people not PR Activists that shot in the Capitol and exploded bombs in NYC killing police. you should learn about PR. I honestly believe they should be let go to be their own country and not be a Territory of America. The only reason they became a Territory was to protect them. But they have been given the chance to become a state many times and have always voted against it.
This was a wonderful episode! They just met but were chatting together as if they have been friends for years! We should never take our freedom for granted...you just need to listen to someone like Evelyn to realize what we have!
yet in the uk and the usa we have far left communists who want to take our freedom deport them to north korea where im sure they would love it
I am amazed at how good her English is since she escaped as recently as 2013. She is obviously very intelligent. I'm glad it all worked out for her.
her family is also very well-off by North Korean standards, so she didn't have the same lifestyle as someone living in the countryside would have.
@@jeffburnham6611 I'm sure living "well-off" in North Korean standards is like living in a 500 sq ft studio in down town LA eating Ramen every night.
@@Liam-zo4jm The ramen in LA is actually really good.
She lived in the US for years, I would expect her English to be pretty good.
her english is too good... she has learnt it long time along with excellent help@@alittlebitgone
The Korean woman is very brave. I got to know a little bit about Korean culture through a friend at college who was Korean. I met her family and it turned out her father had escaped from NK as a young man. He went on to build a successful real estate agency in Queens, NY. Korean food is fantastic!
I liked this American girl the most out of all the other Americans you've casted, she seems very honest and aware
Megan-YOU ROCKED IT and Evelyn is so brave.
I mean honestly I think anyone could sit there and talk to a North Korean. It’s not something that can be “rocked”.
@@blake7587 I just think they ment that she left a nice impression. Especially when it's a video like this. If she was rude it generally would have been associated with her country based on the titles of this video alone. So it was nice.
@@taylorlane8257 But like..who would volunteer to be in a video and then be rude? If she volunteered to meet a North Korean then obviously she wanted to meet one and it’s very rare for anyone to volunteer to meet someone and then be a jerk to them. That’s what I’m saying. She basically did what anyone would’ve done meeting someone new. I’m not trying to criticize her I’m just not understanding the praise.
Blake, Karen is one of my dearest subscribers on my own KZhead channel so she’s just cheering me on~ The world needs more people like her.. so no need to bash those who are trying to encourage others ❤️
@@MeganOsten I’m not trying to bash anyone I was simply expressing my belief that most people meeting someone else for the first time would try to be polite so I didn’t understand what she was referring to.
I love how Evelyn talks about freedom as a feeling... how it makes her feel like herself and happy to experience it in every way.
What impresses me the most are the questions that Megan were asking. Those are good quality questions.
I already subscribe to Evelyn. In this video I meet Megan the American for the first time and I love her! She is so friendly, genuine, and has such a caring heart.
Wow, both women are so well spoken.
Evelyn speaks English shockingly well. Like, better than a lot of people here in the States! Insane! And I was so proud to know her first experience here was in Denver, at DIA. Denver is an amazing city and I love the people here, such pride! Definitely a Denverite thing to take someone like that in without hesitation and with lots of love.
You really should change the title, the North Korean woman obviously met a lot of Americans. The American woman met a North Korean woman for the first time.
Evelyn is so courageous. I can’t imagine the strength it took for her to escape by herself at such a young age. I was also very impressed with Megan’s intelligent and sensitive questions. She represented the U.S. very well.
The title is incorrect. It should read American Woman meets North Korean for the first time. Evelyn has been to America and has several American friends while Megan(the American) has never met someone from North Korea before. Therefore "North Korean Women Meets American For the First Time" is incorrect.
Wow. I'm really impressed with the American here. She describes "freedom" perfectly.
in 1989, as part of a special envoy, I spent 2 weeks in North Korea with the U.S. ARMY. even for such a short time, and in an area that was made to show how wonderful things were in the north I felt the oppression and restrictive atmosphere. I am very glad that this young woman was able to escape. I can honestly say that stepping back over the red painted line in Panmunjom I felt every ounce of freedom returning to me. and I have never forgotten that feeling.
As a veteran who has visited and been stationed in handfuls of other countries, I gave a ton of respect for what she went through. Border crossings are very dangerous and are a huge risk to try and cross.
Evelyn is an amazing example of strength and perseverance. To go from rigid and strict to general freedom has to be a mind bender. So to stay sane through so much pressure you have to have top notch mental faculties. Coming from a fellow woman I’m so proud of Evelyn’s courage and resourcefulness. If she was my daughter I would be so proud of her.
Loved this meaningfull conversation,specially for the north corean girl,God bless both of you🙏😌❤
Wonderful session. Thank you for sharing this!
love the conversation about the importance and feeling of freedom. cool video.
I'd be curious to hear Evelyn's thoughts on Twitter.
Megan has a vey deep beauty. Here voice her mannerisms and her heart.
I remember when I was in my old house not to long ago in florida, we had a person come out and mow our lawn/cut our trees.. We didnt ask him to he just wanted to, when i tried to give him some money he denied it... Asked where I was from and I asked the same, told me he was a defect from North Korea.. Was the first (and still only) time Ive ever met someone from North Korea.. He was so filled with life and joy just being able to to what He wanted to do with no rule, rhyme or reason.. I Do not care for the NK leaders but He is one of the main reason I have such love for the people.. I dont know where he is now but Im hoping hes loving his freedoms in America
Evelyn is so strong and kind despite all of her hardships and that’s insanely inspirational. And Megan was perfect for this I’ve never seen this channel but Megan was SO good with her words and empathetic I’d love to see her again as well
This was so beautiful. The title may be written wrong (maybe just a translation mistake) but it’s also so true. People born in America, or other free countries, often don’t realize how important and special freedom is. Even our founders, why they would be willing to die for freedom, that is was that special. And because she came from a country that repressed everything and controlled everything, feeding her flat out lies, it makes every moment of life and everything she experienced new and amazing. Like I think of someone killing themselves cause they were dumped or s rough financial situation (and I’ve been here, wanting to kill myself when most of my family told me I should’ve kept my sexual abuse to myself) and it makes it seem so weak. She had to go through so much to get her freedom and I’m sure there isn’t a single moment of her freedom that she takes for granted
Please don't bring up the founding fathers when talking about freedom. Where was the freedom for Blacks or the Natives. Our founding fathers are not deserving to be honored when speaking of freedom. The hypocrisy is simply too hard to bear. Freedom for the select few is NOT FREEDOM to be celebrated.
I enjoy these types of videos. In my opinion, videos like this should be a part of school's learning programs.
I follow Evelyn and her vids always put a smile on my face. She is such a Doll!
This kind of makes me wish for freedom for North Koreans Like a lot of people there probably don't realize what they're missing out on or that there's even anything missing but seeing videos like this makes me really think "Holy crap, it's gotta suck to live like that." Like obviously I already knew that but this kinda made me seriously think about that instead of taking the freedom I've got for granted. Hope they can experience that freedom one day too.
I'm delighted that you represented yourself as a Christian who isn't in the business of telling everybody else what to think and what to do. Here's why. From the time my wife was little until she graduated from high school in Michigan, my wife's mother "dragged" (Sally's word for it) her to Sunday school and worship services. Sally liked the music (old-style methodist) but she hated almost everything else about it. By the time she graduated from high school, Sally had decided (and I'm quoting her here), "Churches are places people go to tell other people what to do - or to pay the preacher to tell other people what to do." Sally got an apartment with one of her high school classmates and a job as a nurse's aid/emergency room technician and decided she was through with churches and churchiosoty for good. A few years later - as a result of a series of miracles - Sally accepted an invitation to attend services in Iowa where neither lay officers nor the pastor were intent on telling people what to do. Instead, everything was in the form of an invitation and visitors didn't feel pressured to participate if they preferred to merely observe. After moving to another town in Iowa, Sally found another congregation that was nearly as dedicated to not telling people what to do as the first congregation of that type she had found. The next congregation Sally joined seemed that way for a while but one day Sally was in the lobby of the church building and some woman told her, "You shouldn't be wearing pants in church." Sally's response was, "I can take them off right now right here if you wish." I wonder how many other people would attend worship services if they could find a congregation where neither the laity or the pastor tells people what to do.
Made my day thank you💜💜
Well, the title is misleading. She's lived in the States and seen many Americans.
Yeah, when she said "and then I went to America", I was like, HOL' UP, wait a minute, these fuckers are lying to us.
Such a great story and perspective. We should love and accept other no matter their race because we are humans before any Nationality/ Language.
She is such a beautiful woman. I really do wish her nothing but the very best for her life.
The title is backwards. It was the American that was meeting a North Korean for the first time. It was nice to see their conversation.
Megan is a beautiful soul, so genuine
Very enjoyable listening to you both, thank you ladies.
Even tho there is freedom in America I still feel like it’s different as far as genders, races, and etc. People say we have so much freedom in the US and we take it for granted, I mean yeah I guess so comparing to other countries, but when u actually have been here all your life and also are a person of color, or transgender, or pansexual, etc. Just different from what people assume an “American” is, u start to realize what freedoms do we really have here in the US.
There is this irony. Like our founding fathers claimed that all people are created equal yet there was slavery and women could not vote. You can acknowledge both, the freedom that we enjoy but also see that there’s still so much more to accomplish. That idea of wanting better and not settling is very American to me.
The American asked some good questions. I wish she had given her more time to answer.
Good one. Not only fascinating, but incalculably valuable, to me, for the chance to see the world from someone else's perspective. We say we are free in the U.S. and all, but how much do we utilize the opportunities that the freedoms present?
The thing that impressed me most was a night shot of say North Korea - they're just one little point of light being Pyongyang. Then you look at the U.S. the eastern part of the country out to a line between Chicago and Dallas is lit up like a Christmas tree.
Or even just looking at south Korea right next door
After 10 years overseas, I learned there is much more to freedom that is seldom mentioned. That is the depth of freedom of choice. I didn’t have the freedom to go to any of the thousands of restaurants in the USA, because they didn’t exist where I was overseas. I couldn’t even make Mexican food, because you couldn’t even buy the ingredients. So grocery stores are a type of freedom, with the hundreds of choice in food products. Overseas, they didn’t exist. In this country, you have incredible choices in nearly everything that no other country has. America is truly blessed.
Hope the ladies are still doing fine. Nice job!
This was so good. Thanks for sharing this story.
6:29 She’s on point. And Evelyn’s foster family ~ doubt this will be seen, but thanks for putting your time & energy into something so positive.
There are millions of people who could learn something from her.
I loved this video, thank you for sharing ❤
Couldn't have said anything better myself as an American! Huge fan of these videos!
that was a great interview.....made me smile....
one of the best episodes I have seen.
Megan seems like a typical American: She does most of the talking, even about a country she’s never been to, and she tells other people what it’s like and how they feel about it.
Two beautiful souls 💐
Hi Dimple Team. I started watching your videos just a couple of days ago. It turns out I want to know the North Korean casts' deflect stories. I gotta scroll long way to the videos and maybe missed some. I think it would be best if you can make playlists of your videos so it'll easier to find ones we would like to watch. Keep up the good works, Dimple ♥️
God bless to you Ladies. Thanks for a wonderful story. There are a lot of Asian Americans also, the many great things about America. You probably may have met a few by now. I'm African American. All US citizens are just known as Americans however. Now you are American. God bless to you. 🙏😇❤️🌱👪
Agreed. When i was passing through france this black french guy asked me if we had Africans in America. We really couldn't communicate that well but we tried. Very friendly sharp dressed dude. So i was like we have people from Africa (using Google translate when needed) I was like, we have black peop ln e called African-American but in my country we just say Americans. And some are white,black,asian,and latino. (I used Spanish cause he could understand that better being next to Spain) So people in other countries, they assume if you aren't a White American, then you are just an immigrant but that's so far from reality. AND THESE ARE WESTERN COUNTRIES THAT THINK THIS WAY!!!
I LOVE THEM BOTH LOVE LOVE LOVE
First time I'm really impressed by a host could I say there? Megan is a gem and charasmatic as a host so to speak. Excellent balance of listening and questioning and authenticity
when I watch videos of people in North Korea no one smiles... but when they get out, all of them smile all the time....freedom is a smile.
Korean ladies are a real good looking bunch
Great video....interesting Korean perspective. And...forgive me for typing this, but can't help but mention how truly GORGEOUS both women are, inside and out.
Wow! what a great story, thanks for sharing.
Such a great interview, thank you for reminding us about our freedom
Lol
@@Death-hp1lh get the hell out of the country
She made that daunting journey when she was so young. Wow.
What an amazing young woman. Thank you for sharing her story.
This is good very positive outlook and eye-opening this is something that KZhead should probably make more of the differences are not that different once the communication barrier is overcome and people are more seen with their eyes and ears and get to communicate and enjoy one another's cooperation and company
Great video! Thank you for sharing. You might consider improving it by filtering out the background hum. It's very easy to do with a video editor.
Когда нибудь я смогу прокричать "МЫ СВОБОДНЫ!". Мы будем свободны, все мы.
Thank you, I really enjoyed that! Not too many surprises, of course, but it was rewarding to see and empathise with the emotional impact that the American/Western culture can have on a person who has been deprived of the things that we take for granted. Personally, I am not really a Westerner, since I am a native South African (a Euro-African, if you like). Our own country is a paradox where the vast majority of the people have only had freedom for the past 28 years. As a white person, I was privileged to enjoy and take for granted virtually all the important freedoms since birth. For the record, I always opposed the oppressive, racist policies of our government and am pleased that they have ended.
Both gorgeous kind ladies
This was so sweet. What an amazing woman!
Aw mate! I was in tears listening to this 👍
As an American I enjoy meeting different people and learning of their culture. Always a joy to meet friendly folks from around the world.
This is beautiful
Hey that's dear Evelyn. Thank you so much Evelyn for giving us the opportunity to learn about your journey.
5:50 I think this is why most veterans really hold their freedom dear to them. We volunteer to live in a regimented dictatorial society, where the whims of someone placed hire than you on the food chain controls your time, access to medical care, your food, sleep. It really is a cross between prison and a strict socialism where the group matters not the individual. After you serve your time you really understand how valuable it is to be able to do what you want, when you want, how you want. We just don’t take it for granted. This young lady here never will take it for granted you can bet that.
What wonderful ladies!
Many Americans don't realize the plethora of cultural experiences our millions of veterans carry around with them for their entire lives. Having spent time in 23 different countries, not all were "garden parties". In America, I can eat what I want, worship how I want, vote how I want, openly criticize government leaders if I want. I can even do dumbass stuff like dye my hair blue, shave my beard, and wear a dress...things which would cost me my life in Afghanistan, Iran, and many other places. Even our inmates have 3 meals a day, soap, and showers. I've seen, from the outside, Bang Kwang Prison in Thailand, Penal De Ciudad Barrios in El Salvador...they give a whole new meaning to squalor, danger, and evil. Freedom is exhilarating.
beautiful! . . .If only I could have the opportunity to meet & share with a foreigner like this . . .a win/win for both!
This video was so cool! 🇺🇸🇰🇷🇺🇸🇰🇷
fascinating story... great dialog
I'm glad she came to colorado, welcome to colorful Colorado Evelyn ❤️
We need to be careful before all that freedom we take for granted is gone. Very moving video. Thank-you.
I’m glad that she is happy 😃😊 and proud that she came to Colorado
A very fine job from both ladies. Makes me want to get a bigger flag. The bravery required to escape N. Korea is more than we here in America could imagine. Great interview indeed. Thank you.
Was anyone else shocked when she said Denver? She's describing farming land, wide open spaces and the religious dedication that often goes with it, then she says Denver, a major metropolitan area!? I thought she was going to say some middle of nowhere in Kansas...
Evelyn is so brave and very sweet. I wish her the best.
So cool she came to Colorado as her introductory state!
North Korean women look so calm and beautiful .
Love this pair...
I just love both of them
her english is amazing wow
I love her I absolutely love her she came from a bad place and now she is in a wonderful absolutely wonderful place and I hope we can all help her oh God thank God
I met my first Californian yesterday, I lived in California 20 years ago.
Man, this hits close to home, literally. My parents and relatives, especially on my father's side, had been through so much during the war. So many times that they could've died as 9-11 year old kids, but they managed to make it to America with zero English, no education, and no money/belongings aside from a couple of rings/necklaces and a few pair of clothes. I have friends whose parents also went through similar things during that time, and I'm just astounded at how far they all have come to build up a comfortable life for themselves and their kids. Makes me cry every time I think about it. I've got plenty of stories to share that my father and uncle have told me, and a few from some friends as well. I'm glad that the woman was able to escape and make it to America to live a better life than what awaited her back in the old country. I absolutely hate the government officials, running these countries and couldn't care too much about the people. Anyways, I putting that aside since this shouldn't be about political/vengeful views. Again, kudos to her and all the other people out there who have made it this far in life, you all deserve better.
Her English skills are amazingly good.
I got that same green dress from Wal-Mart.
