I Took a North Korean to South Korea

This story was an emotional one for me personally, because I lived & taught English in South Korea 🇰🇷 for 2 years and I spent 4 days traveling in North Korea 🇰🇵. Munho is an absolute rockstar. This is the very first time that he’s shared his escape story publicly, so let’s all share some appreciation for him in the comments below (which he will read!) My obsession with the entire Korean Peninsula has grown after meeting Munho and hearing his perspectives and wild stories. And at the end of the day - we are both the same (despite growing up in enemy countries) and we have become great friends! Thank you for being here to spend 20 minutes of your day to watch this story 🙏🏼 I hope you have a great day, and remember that freedom is not always free.

I do feel bad that his family might be going thru a lot since he escaped alone.

Small world -- Munho is a former language student of mine! We met through a nonprofit in Korea that helps with English language education to people from North Korea. He is incredibly intelligent, talented, and outgoing. I would like to stress that since arriving in South Korea, Munho has traveled well around the world and completed a specialized education in film. He briefly mentions that he is working on a script, but the program he was a part of was rigorous and intensive. Munho worked with well known Korean directors and film industry individuals. He will be known to the world sooner or later! He is one of the best people I have had the pleasure of meeting and have the honor of calling a friend! - much love, Jesús (지저쓰 쌤)

Munho’s story is very empowering! Love how courageous he is! 🥹🥹🥹

Drew it’s amazing how respectful you are to different cultures

This was wholesome, He seems like a good dude

I’m South Korean, and I love this content sooo much! And I’m so thankful that Drew still likes our country after all these years since he was an English teacher in Korea.

Munho seems like such an all around great guy. So happy for him that he’s free to live a better life and explore the world. Looks like y’all genuinely got along so well and had a lot of fun. Think he’ll be a friend for life. Thanks to you both for sharing this. Blessings🙏🏾

Love how respectful you are with him. Listening is a skill many people lost

Munho seems like a very chill dude. Love how you guys enjoyed SK❤️

I’d love to watch a video of you 2 in America, showing him places you visited as a child. That would actually be the best video ever

I nearly cried, this Is incredible. You brought your trip to the highest level and gave so much joy to your friend.

this guy was a really good choice to do a video with - funny. genuine, decent english, and has an interesting story. PLUS the San Diego jacket. Great video.

so heartwarming, thanks for sharing his story <3

This is a cool and empowering story. Drew and Munho has a good dynamic together.

This video brought me to tears. Praying for Munho and his family 🙏.

My man Drew bridging gaps! Thanks for the video!

Thank you Munho for sharing your story for the first time! I hope more of his dreams come true with making his film! Much love to you and Drew! ❤

This was great. I too worked in South Korea (and I'm from the States) for a while, and it was a wonderful experience. I took a trip up to the North Korean border once, but didn't cross over. I loved Korea, and I wish everyone there the best of luck. It would be great if the two Koreas could join, and the get past the crazy political situation that now exists in the North.
