North Korean Defector Yells at Kim Jong-un’s Car that She Wants to Go Back Home
I hope Ms. Shin understands that peace is not going to allow her to go home to North Korea with out repercussions. As long as the Kim regime remains in place, defectors will never be welcomed back with open arms:
A tearful North Korean defector shouted “Please, let me go back home!” as a black limousine carrying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un passed by her in Hanoi on Tuesday.

Shin Eun Ha is one of two North Korean defectors who flew to Vietnam to wish for progress during a second summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump this week. They joined a crowd gathered near a Hanoi hotel where Kim is staying.
Shin said she hopes the summit will help achieve peace so she can return to her hometown of Musan, which she fled in 2003.
“For defectors, North Korea isn’t a country of hatred but a place that we are desperate to go back to even in our dreams,” Shin told The Associated Press. “I hope to see a day when we can go back to North Korea by taking a train like Kim Jong Un used to come here.”
Later Tuesday, when Kim’s limousine left his hotel, escorted by motorcycle outriders, Shin cried and shouted repeatedly, “Please, let me go home.”
“I don’t understand why we should live while missing our hometown,” Shin said.
She and her fellow defector came as part of a popular South Korean TV program featuring North Korean defectors. Shin, a 30-year-old nurse in Seoul, has been a regular guest on the program, titled “Now On My Way to Meet You.”
She’s 30 and defected 16 years ago…
I’m thinking her memory of those wonder years might be a little fuzzy.
Peace means she becomes a gulag resident again along with Commie Moon and the rest of SK.
She better be careful what she wishes for…Like J6 said, the most likely “peace” is the surrender of South Korea.
“Peace” can mean many things. Graveyards are peaceful.
I am sorry that woman is so upset. I sometimes wish I could go back to my childhood home and avoid responsibility and the reality of being old enough to get discounts at buffets and movie theaters.
We are where–and who–we are. We all just need to accept what is and make the best of it.
What a nut case! that would be like me yelling, “I want to go back to west virginia!” Sing this to the hee haw toon, “Drugs, despair and agony on me.”
I think I see her point. She wants a real peace, not just an official end to the war. Of course that would mean that the Kim regime in the North is gone and so are its supporters.
