N.Korea defector regains consciousness, video shows getaway under fire - Reuters

Adds details on defector's condition
By Haejin Choi and Josh Smith
SEOUL, Nov 22 (Reuters) - North Korean border guards were only steps behind a North Korean soldier when they opened fire and one briefly crossed the border pursuing the wounded defector as he dashed to the South Korean side, a video released on Wednesday by the U.N. Command (UNC) in Seoul showed.
The defecting soldier, whose rank and identity have not been disclosed, was critically wounded, having been hit five or six times in the hail of bullets as he made his desperate escape on Nov.13. He was flown by a U.S. military helicopter to a hospital in Suwon, south of Seoul.
Doctors announced on Wednesday that he had regained consciousness, having had two operations to extract the bullets, and his breathing was stable and unassisted.
"He is fine," lead surgeon Lee Cook-Jong said at a press conference in Suwon. "He is not going to die."
An official from U.N. Command (UNC) said North Korea had been informed on Wednesday that it had violated the 1953 armistice agreement, which marked the cessation of hostilities in the Korean War.
The UNC official told a news conference that a soldier from the North Korean People's Army (KPA) had crossed the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), the border between the two Koreas, for a few seconds as others fired shots at the defecting soldier.
“The key findings of the special investigation team are that the KPA violated the armistice agreement by one, firing weapons across the MDL, and two, by actually crossing the MDL temporarily,” Chad Carroll, Director of Public Affairs for the UNC, told reporters.
The dramatic video showed a military vehicle speeding toward the border, passing checkpoints manned by North Korean guards before appearing to get stuck in a ditch.
North Korean soldiers were only a few metres away when the defector jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot, scrambling up slightly rising ground to cross the border.
Moments after this a handful of North Korean soldiers are seen running to toward the abandoned vehicle and stopping to open fire, though one appears to briefly cross the dividing line between the two countries before turning around.
The video does not show the moment when the defector was hit, but he is seen lying motionless next to a concrete wall in one of the later edited clips in the video.
Three South Korean troops, including the deputy commander of the border security unit, are seen crawling through undergrowth to drag the wounded North Korean to safety.
Doctors conducted a series of surgeries on the critically wounded soldier, and now say they believe he will recover, despite continued risks of infection.
"Patient requires intensive care, detailed tests and observation as there is a chance his condition may worsen due to infections of his bullet wounds," the hospital said in a statement.
The soldier show signs of depression and possible trauma, in addition to a serious case of parasites that has complicated his treatment, the hospital said.
North Korea: biggest holiday is celebrating their military might
North Korean military: can't stop a single guy running on foot
I think they didn’t shoot on purpose. Just to see if he could really escape that hellhole
hacediggy You do realize the ones who failed to stop him were severely punished because of it right? I think they were trying their best to stop him.
It's not that easy to stop someone crossing your boarder, the Berlin wall had many defects in the day, and we don't know if they were allowed or not to shoot him down, which make things even more harder to avoid his defects, anyway they're failure is a good thing for him
@@sampajam6256 yeah but a bad thing for the other guys god knows what happened to them
@@lumjan they shot him 4 times... That's why he was just laying there when the south recovered him
The full story is even more sad when you realize that the reason the defector was running so slow and awkwardly was because of the weight of his massive balls.
Wha?
got me in the first half ngl
Very original comment....
Andre Davila yeah it really is :D
Technically, you're right
The guards must have thought “Lucky bastard take me with you”
Probably thought, "if I don't catch or kill this guy, my family is going to suffer"
if i'm not going with you, might as well stop you
Im pretty sure the guys patrolling this area are dead. These guys you see basically failed their duty and since its NK they prob dead af.
The ROK soldiers crawling in to save this man was very impactful, heroes.

You Dirty Rat lol smart but if you're a soldier in North Korea you most likely got a family back that's going to die slow painful deaths if you try to escape
So much at stake back home,that is the price you have to pay to keep your family safe. I just can't imagine me escaping and my children are going to be tortured for my sake, better to play their game with the cards decked to me.

@@thedarkknight646 i'm pretty sure my family would find comfort that at least managed to escape hell.
I want a movie about this guy. The events that led to his decision to escape, his planning, and finally the mad dash through high security border. It would be great to see more people understand the dehumanisation of the people that live in North Korea.What kind of awful things did this man go through to push him to make such a desperate attempt at freedom.
Amaris Lancaster Hollywood directors be like nah will just make another stupid fast furious movie
A documentary would be much better. Hollywood would fuck it up by trying to add a love story or something to it.
Ooooh i'd watch
Just know that for his actions everybody that this man loved is probably either dead or in a concentration camp.
Countries with guarded borders especially soldiers guarding the borders. Will shoot and kill another soldier with no hesitation.
He is alive and well. He refers to the South Koreans who pulled him to safety as “angels”
Where can I learn more about that guy?
Sanuk Jang Lery well no shit.
Mate 2017 i think his point is that many people nowadays just pretend it didn't happen
The Sauciest Boss he said don't remember thus evidently they won't because they're weren't alive at that time. Thus his point is redundant.
Mate 2017 ever learn about history? You don’t have to be there to know it happened
That's just insane... Can't believe some people still protect their actions!
Good he survived!
Now, fried chicken, beer and kpop...
... and reruns of his own escape from the 64th annual hunger games.
Dodo I'd gladly buy his first drink. :)
Those are soldiers with orders, if they didn't do nothing they would be badly punished, probably by death. They still let him escape so they are anyway in trouble.

Made in South Korea
Unified lenses and multi mode camera systems are super cool and expensive.
From a little bit of google maps searching I found the location this happened and there is a nearby antenna tower right over the border into South Korea which appears to be where the camera was mounted. Using the measure distance tool on google maps I'd estimate the first camera shot where we see the jeep is a little over 5000'. That's some kick ass zoom.

@@maximilian5817 If you are talking about Trump and the USA, yeah, i would 100% agree that trying to impeach an Elected President whitout any semblance of proof, is indeed, an attempt at a dictatorial act.

@@FlavioDeLestival Well democracy is based on the people and the law which they give themselves to live by. Trying to quell this understandable but massive unrest by sheer force instead of a proper investigation of the arguments brought up by the people and the investigation of the general situation itself (meaning why is there even unrest?) is quite dictorial mate
Not saying that the behavior of this big mass of demonstrating people is completely right (obviously a lot of them are quite crazy themselves) but the reason for all of this is quite obvious and fixable. So why use force instead of fixing an obvious problem? Just trying to be reasonable mate 🤷♂️
@King Grim I think it's thanks to the general mentality of you Americans. Look at other parts of the world and pick yourself the parts that work and fix your country 😁 But I guess that's too reasonable and there is not enough freedom in that idea ay 🥴
The sad thing is, all those nka soldiers and their families were probably all killed over this.
If he had any
Cockobango RangoJango the group that failed to kill him/stop him were most likely killed, their families possibly imprisoned including the defector.

Yomamasapeach South Korea won't let you cross into the DPRK either, FYI. They'll send you to prison. Even TWEETING positive things about Kim Jong Un in SOUTH KOREA will land you in prison.
False equivalency.
Marukosy Not a false equivalency, it's a very appropiate equivalency. South Korea is a hyper authoritarian capitalist country.
im thankful that he lived.
I can only imagine how scared and desperate he was too :(
His family might not be so lucky though, if he has any.
MrMeadfoot that's the unfortunate truth
His family won’t live.
oh well happy thanksgiving xd
Sad to know that even though we think the people shooting at the vehicle are evil, they may be losing their own lives because he escaped.
so might as well let the escapist die then ah poor soldiers
The are indoctrinated morons.
AnimalStomper why morons? According to defectors, most north koreans actually KNOW they are being fed propaganda, but they believe because if they don't, well, they die. Hate on north koreans is mostly unjustified because they're completely stuck in a prison, except for old kimmie boy.
If u was one of the soldiers chasing the escaping soldier I would've deserted aswell to avoid execution.
Then why not escape as well
Imagine living in such an oppressive country that they won't even allow you to leave it.
Naaaah, they're just social distancing
North Korean soldier: hey that guy, he's not answering the pager call.
Another Soldier: probably asleep or something.

*"I really hope he doesn't have any family members in North K."*
Well, the chances are he doesn't... not any more at least.
You cant work for the government in north korea if you don't have family as leverage. So yeah they are probably dead
MrLinker44 hopefully they were all old and committed suicide before giving him the go ahead to escape. But maybe I'm being a little too hopeful

veteran.....yes, 'Too much freeDUMB and zero education is the real danger in this world'.
REPLY
Have to wonder if the north Korean soldiers that didn't stop him were executed.
SVrider Maybe he realised too late that he was the other side of the border, and went "Oh, shit.".
At the very least, they've likely been reassigned or put into prison camps. N. Korea has to make an example out of them for the rest of the soldiers, especially considering the famine they're facing, they need an iron fist more than ever to keep people in line.
C North yes but eventually that wouldn't work
Yep they will
they are in trouble either way since they violated international humanitarian law by shooting within DMZ
And he lives after all of this. What a badass!
Actors usually do survive their shoots. (unintended pun)
Lennis01 wut?
Lennis01 By "actor", do you mean this was all set up? Or do you mean "person who made actions during the event"?
Yes, I believe it was set up. There are powerful interests that seem hell-bent on getting us into a major war, and there are open questions on whether Kim-Jong-Un is really the one running the show over there. Think "Wag the Dog". Americans have fallen for these kinds of plots before. The Vietnam and both Iraq wars were each stoked by false flag events or claims that were later exposed as lies . We have to always ask ourselves: "Who benefits?". Americans have given quite enough blood to the military-industrial complex. We're sick of it.
+Lennis01 you are 100% brainwashed. how the fuck do you think they were able to shoot film at the dmz?? you are no better than a flat earther. never traveled never seen life for yourself.

Let's just say it'd be great if the man didn't have a family in the north.
steinlo sadly yes
Swamp Henly to be a north korean soldier you need to have a family member
steinlo He is in his early 20s. It could be that his parents have passed and he had no siblings. Also young enough to assume he had no wife and kids.
I'm sure his family will meet him on the other side some day. 😞
Looks like he took the words "Live Free Or Die!" seriously.
"Live free or Die trying"
I was serving at Artillery regiment as a soldier during that day. We were on a dailly routine: cleaning barrack and checking equipments as usual. Suddenly, a Siren broke out and we could hear vague message coning out of speaker saying “all hands to battery, this is not a drill”. Me and my squad quickly ran into the barrack, dressed battle uniform and ran out for each posts. My position in the squad was loader btw. We waited in our SPH for solid 4 hours in complete silence, waiting for a display to pass us order. Eventually, situation was released as we all know and that’s about it lol. During that 6 hours of intense preparation and waiting for target designation, I thought like, “this is a war and I’m still not prepared for it”. If one shot, only ONE shot could fired, then it could’ve been an outbreak.
Thats the scariest part, all it took was a stray bullet from one of the NK soldiers to hit some one other than the man running and you would have had to return fire....
3:13 That soldier was literally metres away from freedom and a better life. Could've easily ran across as well while the other soldiers were distracted. Damn
Clement bro they know that their families will get punished if they do that.
He is the one who shot him 5 times so... yeah
He did this so when they leave he will cross the boarder.
He shoot in the armistice line... Where was the sniper? Where was the f**king sniper?
if he escaped his family would've been put in concentration camps and even if they survived past that their next 3 generations of family would also be in prison for life
I am Korean and this video makes me sad.He ran to Korea in order to survive and He'll have all the freedom he ever wanted.
I want this young man to be happy in our country.And doctors in Korea tried to save North Korean soldiers.

Imagine the amount of psychological reconditioning and things he has to learn now that he's escaped. For example, North Korean citizens do not know that we have landed on the moon. They believe their country is the largest on the planet. They are brainwashed to praise their dictator as a God. This man has to unlearn habits and teachings he was raised with since birth. I can't imagine that struggle.

@@angeleaterstudios1004 Nk dont worship the kims as gods, they got info about the outside world you know? Otherwise, why would he have fled?
My mom was born and raised in the German Democratic Republic (estern Germany before the end of the USSR) and it was very traumatic, "just" finding out how much they knew about her. She was one of the few who were allowed to leave Germany and go to Moscow for university so from the time she got into secondary school, all eyes were on her to be sure she was 100% on their side. And, well, she was. Even now, 30 years later, she doesn't trust government mandated stuff because she fears that it will eventually turn out to become as bad as it was back then. Communism is hell. I hope one day we find a better political system than capitalism but communism is not the way.

Communism: so great, people have to be forced to stay.
Communism =/= totalitarianism. Communism represents an economic system, which can easily be abused just as capitalism to hurt its people. Totalitarianism is the real horror of North Korea, the lack of power in government. Two different concepts, and different consequences if you confuse them.

Still, people who build farms with their bare hands lost their possessions, some who didn't get the credit went to gulags etc. It never ever works. There's no incentive to work. No one takes risks. Top level scientists like the one who invented soft contact lenses in my city got only the same pay as floor cleaners, not the millions they deserved. "Companies" were state owned they didn't give a shit about the workers, they were hardcore exploited, no shit given about polluting nature. We had one of the best transistors - in communism the only poeple who could've greenlit that were a few idiots in charge of state - in capitalism that would be any of the hundreds of investors. It requires a forceful dumbing down of economy and human rights. Millions of ordinary people here fought hard for democracy and freedom of speech and finance.

abosolutely dramatic :)
This whole time (before watching the video) I thought the defector ran on foot towards the South Korean side. Apparently, he used a car to cross to the other side.

It looks like the soldiers didn't try to hard to stop him, I feel as humans they know they are captives in their own country. Wouldn't you?
Never. They just failed to kill. You are so emotional.
they try to let him escape, just by grazing shot on him obviously.
They didn't seem organized, so ..
durian111 he was shot 5 times and was unconscious and bleeding out when he got to the south side.
You think these guys are well-trained? They're afraid. Scared. Never even seen an actual gunshot unless it was their leader killing another child. The moment they see something out of the blue the only thing they know how to do is shoot and run.
I’m sure this guy has been dreaming about this moment for a long time... well done son 👏
The first clip of the camera tracking is to me, insane! To be able to capture that all from one mounted position is scary-crazy.
Sickening to see people try to kill with all their might a man trying to make his life better.
What a god literally GTA 5'ing it all the way to freedom. SK Surgeons say he's going to survive just fine. It'll be interesting to see what kind of information he has considering he was high enough rank to get a hold of a vehicle and make it to the border before being bothered.
when your squad in the other team and they purposely miss
I imagine "Rather Be" playing on his head during the run lol
I read somewhere earlier that he had unknown parasites in his stomach that the South Korean surgeons haven't seen before
I think that might have been a different guy. Edit: It wasn't.
It was not unknown parasites but the surgeon said he haven't seen that many big parasites in human body which he could never seen that sort of thing in South Koreans'. He was a bit shocked that he could see that big many parasites which he could have only seen in text book. Anyway that thing is huge tragedy. Many South Koreans feel sympathy because of it and wish truely him to recover.
seo-young park thanks only because the article I read said that they were "unknown" not a large quantity either way wouldn't be a pleasant thing
Don’t worry the doctor said these parasites were textbook example and I read they already cleared him of the parasites. Don’t worry we’re not gonna have some global pandemic.
Yes,those are known as vocal cord parasite.

DonoDino 10:28-29?
Thank you James Pearson for the video.
Good quality camera!!! But who take de videos out??
funny how all the important shit never has any audio
you know how far the camera is
I wanna see an update with him
Dang their cameras are high quality! Most banks still have 50 pixel , black and white CCTV
You don’t realize how wounded he is until you can see the trail of blood on the heat camera when they’re dragging him to the other side
this is much better than hollywood.
Would have hated to be the guy to go and bother Kim Jong Un during his private time with his hos and Dave Skylark.
Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
To bad there's no dragon to save him.
Me in DayZ when my hostage takers forget to tie me up
>there are Communist apologists who defend the DPRK
I hope this man lives as long, free, and joyful a life as he can after all he's been through: the parasitic stomach worms, hepatitis, poor nutrition...I can't imagine what kind of baggage he's got. I wish him well.
best scene of 2017
My sincerest hope that this man survives and retains good enough health to find some happiness in his life.
قسم بالله هذا الجندي يستاهل جائزة الشجاعة ...الحرية تستحق المجازفة بكل تأكيد.
If I was one of a soldiers I would have join him to go to south kr
And his family?
You say that but I'm sure it would play out a lot different if you were in their shoes.
I’m pretty sure the NK population is brainwashed. This is why we don’t hear much about them except for nuclear hype and banning of CZcams.
GankPlank Main you probably wouldn’t, you’d fight to stay due to fear and not knowing what is beyond the borders of NK
I wish we could hear the gunshot noises
The soldier pursuing the defector had a golden chance to defect as well, he did not seize it though.
He must have been happy once he escaped.
Run Forest-Un. Run.
