South: great wifi North: "whats wifi?"

I've been to South Korea once a few years ago and loved it! Hope to be back soon!

2:51 incheon international airport is in Incheon according to its name, not seoul. Incheon is one of the biggest cities in South korea, located near Seoul

Corrections about South Korea AS South Korean 1. South Korea no longer uses 2000 won as one of the banknotes. 2. Winter sports was not depicted in 2000 won even at the time it was supplied. 3. No South Korean actually does 10 step skin care routine. It’s just a promotion from beauty companies to sell their products more. 4. This is an additional information. Every Korean has a national insurance that is super affordable. With that insurance, people only pay barely 10 dollars to visit their family doctor.

I won't question my birth again🤧🤧. I am thankful, grateful, and whatever that I was not born in North korea

(Simple difference) North korea: starves South korea: Mukbang Time

As a South Korean, the health care in Korea is super affordable and very fast. Now I live in Canada for study, but everytime I get sick or need to visit a walkin clinic, I miss the Korean health care system so badly. When I needed to get an xray as my jaw got fractured, I had to wait 3 days to get the results which would only take a couple of hours in Korea. I rememeber back in korea I had to get an Xray for my leg fractured, it only took 2 hours lol. Also, we don't need to make an appointment when we need to see a doctor. + No need to make an appointment to see a specialist, u just need to go to a specific clinic and get a treatment right away(so we dont have a family doctor). And every treatment is usually bellow $20 because of the health insurance we have. Of course it's a different story if you have a specific, very rare disease. But seriously a lot of korean immigrants who moved to Canada they are thinking moving back to Korea because of the health care in Korea

And on today in America being Memorial Day. I remember the fact that my dad was helping South Korea fight the Korean War all those decades ago. He was stationed not far from the border and he was in communications.

I'm a South Korean. We don't have 2,000won actually. That note is from north Korea. Currently, we only have 1,000/ 5,000/ 10,000/ 50,000 bank notes. (Sorry for the confusion, there is 2,000 won in south Korea as well. The Government issued special bank note "2,000 won" in order to mark the 2018 Pyeong Chang Winter Olympic. But usually, we seldom use it.)

I feel so bad for the North Koreans... they didn't choose to have such a terrible gov't :((

A CRAZY tidbit I saw while watching a documentary on North Korea. If you were to see the images from space North Korea has ONE bright spot in the whole country, and South Korea is lit up like a Christmas tree. Pyongyang is practically pitch black, and Seoul is light up as if it was the Las Vegas strip!

Thanks for covering this!

I changed this comment so that you would have no idea what the replies are about.

South Korea’s airports are beautiful we fly Korean air almost every time

Thank you for this well done and enjoyable video.

After watching this and other videos from North Korean defectors' perspective, my heart breaks for the citizens, I feel no need to complain about my life. Freedom should be a human right.

South Korea: 2020 North Korea: 1930

We don’t have 2000 won notes in S.Korea. You brought a north korean note for 2000 won for the first pic. And the second pic of 2000won was only for celebration the PyeongChang Winter Olympics but not for general. You can’t find that notes anywhere even in a bank as well. Thanks
