Description: (KOR-ENG) Hello, my name is Jun. I was born in North Korea and I tried to escape North Korea Two times in 2005 and 2008. When I escaped North Korea in 2005, i was arrested by Chinese police in Beijing and sent back to North Korea. i had to be in Sinuiju prison several months. After 3 years in 2008, I tried to escape again and I could arrive in Shanghai China. i had been in Shanghai about 2 years. In 2011, finally I could arrive in South Korea. Now i am studying Political Science in Seoul National University. There are two reasons why i stood in front of people. First, as one of the South Korean member of Congress has said that all of the Defector is traitor. I think that the views of North Korean Defectors in South Korean society can not be seen as positive. The Second reason is that there have been many incidents of manipulating North Korean Defectors as spies so far, and even though these cases have been consequently found innocent, these cases already had a negative impact on people thinking of North Korean Defectors. Some of the South Korean people said like "oh i am not thinking of North Korean Defector negatively" on my Facebook and YT channel. But there are different people and ideas, so even a person think of me positively, one man's thoughts do not represent all. the fact is there are too high barriers of mind between South Korean and North Korean Defectors. ------------------------------------------------- i read quetions that some of the subscribers left about NK and me and i am going to answer about these quetions through Q&A video as soon as possible. Also i will continue to upload video with various subjects(North Korea, North Koreans life, thinking, experience other countries culture) So please subscribe this channel and follow my Facebook if you are interested. also you leave any questions on youtube or facebook, i am going to answer for you every of them. ------------------------------------------------ 안녕하세요. 저의 이름은 허준이라 합니다. 북한에서 태여나 두 번의 탈북시도와 오랜 기간의 탈북과정을 거쳐 현재 서울에 살고 있고 서울대학교에서 정치외교학을 공부하고 있습니다. 제가 프리허그라는 우리나라에서는 다소 낯선 행위를 통해 사람들앞에 서고 영상을 찍었던 이유는 두 가지였습니다. 첫번째는 우리나라의 모 국회의원도 탈북자들은 북한을 배신한 변절자다라고 발언했다 싶이 우리 사회안에 탈북자들에 대한 시각은 긍정적이라고 볼 수 없다고 생각했습니다. 두번째 이유는 여러분들께서도 아시겠지만 지금까지 탈북자를 간첩으로 조작하는 여러 사건들이 있었고 이러한 사건들은 결과적으로 무죄판결을 받았다할지라도 그 결과까지 가는 과정에서 국민들에게 탈북자는 간첩일 가능성이 농후하는 인식을 각인시키는 결과를 초래했습니다. 어떤 분들께서는 나는 탈북자들을 그렇게 부정적으로 생각하지 않는데? 라고 페이스북메세지나 유튜브를 통해 말씀하시는 분들이 계시고 또 충분히 그렇게 말씀하실 수 있다고 생각합니다. 다만 제가 본 우리 대한민국 사회는 다양한 사고를 가진 사람들이 많기에 각자의 생각이 전부는 아니다고 봅니다. 더군다나 당사자의 입장에서 생각해보지 못한다면 이해의 폭이 더 좁아질 수 있다고 생각합니다. 제가 말씀드린 두 가지 이유외에도 또 다른 심리적 장벽들이 쌓여있지만 2등시민으로서 감당할 수 있는 용기도 필요하다고 봅니다. 부조리에 대해서는 함께 바꿔가길 희망하며 늘 감사한 마음으로 살겠습니다. ◉Facebook web.facebook.com/heojun2030 ◉Instagram instagram.com/junstories What is North Korean Defector means? Since the division of Korea after the end of World War II and the end of the Korean War (1950–1953), North Koreans have defected for political, ideological, religious, economic or personal reasons. Such North Koreans are referred to as North Korean defectors. Alternative terms in South Korea include "northern refugees" (Korean: 탈북자, talbukja) and "new settlers" (새터민, saeteomin). During the North Korean famine of the 1990s, there was an increase in defections, reaching a peak in 1998 and 1999. Some main reasons for the falling number of defectors especially since 2000 are strict border patrols and inspections, forced deportations, and rising cost for defection. The most common strategy is to cross the border into Jilin and Liaoning provinces in northeast China before fleeing to a third country, due to China being a relatively close ally of North Korea. China, being the most influential of few economic partners of North Korea while the country has been under U.N. sanctions for decades, is also the largest and continuous aid source of the country. To avoid worsening the already tense relations with the Korean Peninsula, China refuses to grant North Korean defectors refugee status and considers them illegal economic migrants. About 76% to 84% of defectors interviewed in China or South Korea came from the Northeastern provinces bordering China. If the defectors are caught in China, they are repatriated back to North Korea where they often face harsh interrogations and years of punishment, or even death in political prison camps such as the Pukch'ang camp, or reeducation camps such as the Chungsan camp or Chongori camp. #humansofnorthkorea #JunHeo #northkoreandefector
