TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie visits the exact spot where the defector drove, ran and then crawled across the border, despite suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

Krbxew,ufcĥ
All family of this guy suffering today😢😢😢😢
Clueless person here: why can’t North Koreans leave the country? So they cannot travel out of NK?
Lol
1:47 peace 😅
It really just makes you feel grateful for what you have. I feel absolutely awful for anyone who has to go through this, and think North Korea and its government are cruel monsters.
How do you know he's not a spy?
I wish i went back to 2017
No 😢
How is he now??
His family tho…
Why can't our Southern Borders get this same amount of security?
the sad part is n. korea have nuclear means no country can launch full scale invasion
❤Good Luke ❤and Like ❤
This video was on my birthday in 2018!
The young North Korean soldier survived and now lives in South Korea. He was on television show.
At the end of the day they are brothers and sisters both noth and South so what if they rescue
I don't believe what American and western said they are 99% are lying 😂so i don't listen their propaganda
I couldn't imagine the grief and hopelessness he must've felt behind that wall as he lay bleeding out before his rescue.
The terrorist states of America is the only reason for the instablity in the world.
Don't let these North Korean escape!
It was a spy thing
Not to mention the dude was malnourished and riddled with parasites
And all that because the telefon broke.
説明している人は米軍の人なのかな
I got shot 8 times by 22's on probation
North Korea is Tucson
R.I.P his family 🙁
How is his family?
Imagine being shot at by your own country's soldiers and being saved by your enemies. salute to those South Korean soldiers who saved him despite him being their enemy.
That South Korean soldier is excellent & well-spoken! 🙂
north korea should be wiped out, poor souls.
when he was down was he conscious? wonder what he was thinking then ……
4:09 But there’s a telephone that goes through the other side. Oh okay, yeah they didn’t pick up the phone. Yeah, that was a good time to pick up the phone but they didn’t.
2:52 Smart knowing that.
It wasn't TODAY, was 5 years ago.
Respect. south korea. And i hope that he is fine and very well after shots..
North Korea is not a country; it's a large prison.
I thought he got shot dead once he got out of the jeep
Repentance
The fact that shots were fired into SOUTH KOREA ?
IS That a nothing burger ?
Lol she’s taller and looks stronger than the Korean soldier
I remember this but one thing did the North Korean government take it out on his family for defecting? We will never know
How lucky the majority of us are to not have to go through something like this
As a younger man I recall quite clearly when the Berlin wall came down and Germany was reunited. The East German citizens were astonished at the difference between the West and the East. This is very similar. If the two Koreas were to unite the North would be overwhelmed with excitement and pleasure at their first tastes of freedom.
the media making drama by calling it the scariest place on earth and is not. She forgot that there are others way worse.
Clinton calls it the scariest place on earth and Trump walks right across like a BOSS! FJB!
Prayers to his family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just look at it, about a couple of hundred North Koreans defect and we replace them with one overcooked soldier!!!
