Getting into North Korea was one of the hardest and weirdest processes VBS has ever dealt with. After we went back and forth with their representatives for months, they finally said they were going to allow 16 journalists into the country to cover the Arirang Mass Games in Pyongyang. Then, ten days before we were supposed to go, they said, No, nobody can come. Then they said, OK, OK, you can come. But only as tourists. We had no idea what that was supposed to mean. They already knew we were journalists, and over there if you get caught being a journalist when youre supposed to be a tourist you go to jail. We dont like jail. And were willing to bet wed hate jail in North Korea. But we went for it. The first leg of the trip was a flight into northern China. At the airport, the North Korean consulate took our passports and all of our money, then brought us to a restaurant. We were sitting there with our tour group, and suddenly all the other diners left and these women came out and started singing North Korean nationalist songs. We were thinking, Look, we were just on a plane for 20 hours. Were jet-lagged. Can we just go to bed? but this guy with our group who was from the LA Times told us, Everyone in here besides us is secret police. If you dont act excited then youre not going to get your visa. So we got drunk and jumped up onstage and sang songs with the girls. The next day we got our visas. A lot of people we had gone with didnt get theirs. That was our first hint at just what a freaky, freaky trip we were embarking on

lets hatch a plan all of watching to all go save Pun Yun Shi !!!!

[tom1701]

I would totally sneak a ship in her canal, but I don't think I'd leave my pueblo in her port

[Dentzer81]

I would have sex with the "tea girl" i wonder if that is a option on the tour??

[shaneclone15]

Now laughing is a death sentence in north korea

[CoReyTHeDeVogeL93]

I bet he t bagged the tea girl if ya know what i mean ;)

[bellojardin787]

Iam pretty sure she haven't had so much fun since she born.

[sam1344t5y7i98]

uh oh she's having fun.  Thats against the law

[zorak1997]

I was in North Korea last summer and had seen this video twice before I went. The place where he meets Pun Yun Shi is a rest stop on the road from Pyongyang to the DMZ. I asked the women working there if they knew Pun Yun Shi and where she was, and they said they never heard of her. Might be true, but it worried me to hear that. I tried to explain how people around the world know her from a video on the internet, but they didn't understand at all living in isolation as they do.

Hopefully that Korean lady wasn't executed afterward for smiling and playing pool ....

[thespacialone]

Damsel in distress alert! Vice Guide viewers will save you fair maiden!

[TBoneOSU1]

WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE?

[SuperIllusiveman]

That does it. I'm organizing a highly trained mercenary group to infiltrate North Korea and save Pun Yun Shi.

She deserves better, damn it!

[RDOtoothpick]

Save Pun Yun Shi!

[corv989]

Can I marry the tea girl?

[RightWingHunter666]

Poor Tea Girl she probably got sent to a reeducation camp after this.

[nit78]

10 month and see no one!!!even in jail you see fellow inmates..

i am surprised she is sane.. i bet if you spend more time with her, you will realize she is slightly deranged

[BornHaggard420]

It's safe to say they're not very good at playing pool.

[sonof9411]

@Athiestnova loneliest*

[anonismorefun]

dude, that guy blew it. totally coulda got laid lulz.

[FadedHolySoldier]

that's it.. im in love with pun yun shi = D

[culwin]

I expected Tea Girl to be better at pool and ping pong.

She got nothing else to do.

[Spidula]

@Chansulus

Yeh, I actually felt sorry for her!

[Flamingames]

She seems nice. Too bad she never gets to see anyone

[fidafififi]

I think that Tea Girl never heard of Blowjob before because North Korea did not have internet access.
