WATCH: Escaped from North Korea - 'I love telling my story'
Jun escaped from North Korea when he was 17 years old. Before fleeing, he'd never seen a computer or used the internet, but now he's a YouTuber in South Korea. "I'd never used Google, YouTube or Facebook," he explains. But now, he uses the platform to share his story in English because he says he wants the world to know what life is like there. "I love telling my story to people," he says. The first time that Jun tried to leave North Korea, he went through China but he was caught and sent back. Life is made difficult for anybody who has tried to leave as they are classed as being 'hostile'. "I couldn't go back to high school after I was caught by police in China because in North Korea, everyone has a 'class'. I was 'hostile class' in North Korea so everyone avoided me," he explains.
