@yington that's probably the reason this person made this video to give out the message that South Korea shouldn't end up in the same situation.

Can you please tell me where you got this information? It would be very helpful :) thanks

If the owner of this video is upset about human rights violations in South Korea, then he should be foaming at the mouth with rage at the situation in North Korea:

-You are jailed, or even executed, for criticising the regime

-There is a cult worship of the dictatorship, which is an absolute *hereditary* monarchy

-There is no freedom for North Koreans to travel around North Korea

-North Koreans cannot leave the country for tourism

-There is absolutely no freedom of press or media

@RebekahHL But, it's a serious event.

Appreciate the summary, though I wish the presentation was somewhat less dramatic (along with the background music).
