High School for North Korean Defectors

There are about 15,000 North Korean defectors living in South Korea. That number is steadily growing. Most of them left the communist North to escape hunger, severe deprivation and political repression. Starting a new life in the advanced, capitalist South is daunting - especially when it comes to getting an education. VOA Seoul Correspondent Kurt Achin traveled to a special school that is trying to level the playing field of opportunity for North Korean arrivals.

dongsoola is obviously a communist sympathizer or a north korean agent. what a lame fuck. do you even know any north koreans. i knew several in s. korea. yes, they have jobs as bus boys and dishwashers, but fuck man, they eat 3 square a day and have cell phones and don't have to worry about being dragged to a concentration camp. also, south korea also has universal healthcare coverage... except the equiptment is modern (mris etc) and not from 1960 like in the north.

@ChewingGumAddict Which means he's American.

This is a wonderful thing, but doesnt it almost seem like the "re-education" of North korea?

I'm not saying this is brain washing, but the underlying affects are the same.

@dongsoola Your English sucks. You're not American. You're hella dumb hahah

[Sofiarocks776]

@AutumnNatae I believe we'll see USA fall apart before N.Korea ;)

@dongsoola What job do you have that makes you work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day? I can't think of one. Very odd hours you have.

If you are American, why do you talk like a foreigner? The grammar mistakes you make are not like that of a native speaker, and what kind of name is "dongsoola"? I did a quick check of your profile, and there's a lot of Hangul in there. If that's you in the videos, that makes sense. You're Korean, promoting North Korea.

[dongsoola]

BTW they say 20,000 North Koreans defected to South.

Out of these numbers, lots of them are just opportunity seekers from China who shares settlement money with the broker. The brokers make big money if they bring a North Korean to South Korea. The number of defecters are decreasing, and number of North Korean defectors are VERY VERY SMALL compared to people who migrate for better opportunity in other world.

[dongsoola]

well. when they have nothing to say they always say.. I am a north korean agent.

I am an American u dumfuck.!

just look at my video. I am a real guy. real American working 6 days a week. 12 hours per day. who is that twekewl? no face no nothing. just hiding criminal trying to make a plot to invade some other country. Evils are always in darkness.

Dear fellow Americans dont be fooled by these evils.! Dont trust any people without faces!

[dongsoola]

I also say North Korea is probably most free country in the world.

They probably have no debth.

Well. This one thing is enough to explain why.

[dongsoola]

someone say how much North Korea pays me for bullshit?

People should understand that everything what they say about North Korea is about themselves. Who do u think have time and money to make this kind of video?

I myself work 12 hours per day 6 days per week. BTW. and nobody pays me.

All these anti-NK propaganda is not by American people, its by politicians and people who have lots of money.
