I recently had the pleasure to meet a young North Korean defector named Evelyn. 6 years ago, when she was 15 years old, she escaped North Korea with her mother for a better life. Both without passports, they spent 1 month traveling by foot across China, Laos and Thailand - where the South Korean government officially recognized her as a refugee and she was granted permission to migrate to the United States of America.

Last year at this time, I was in Pyongyang, North Korea. It was the most eye-opening and surreal trip of my life. And the fact that I can speak Korean after living in Seoul, gave me a deeper understanding for what was happening around me, North of the 38th parallel. One year later, I cannot stop thinking about my trip to North Korea --especially after all of the events & controversies that have happened since then. It's surreal to know that I'm one of the last Americans to visit the country, as

Ever wonder what North Korea is like to visit? I just came across 8 GB of unseen footage from my trip to North Korea from 3 months ago, and I will be showing you snippets of my trip over the coming weeks. My visit to North Korea was one of the most eye-opening and surreal trips of my life, and above all, it was the PEOPLE that surprised me the most... Before I went, I was nervous and intimidated by how the people would treat me (especially being American), but I was proven wrong. I used my knowl

Prepare yourselves to hear the story of Yeonmi Park because it’s heavy. When she was a teenager, Yeonmi escaped from North Korea to China. What she experienced was horrible — being sold as a sex slave by border officials, walking across Mongolia in the middle of winter and nearly dying of starvation. But Yeonmi made it out alive, and now she lives happily in Chicago. She is outspoken about the terrible regime in North Korea and she voices her thoughts on her YouTube Channel, and through various

We've all heard stories about people escaping North Korea for a better life... and today in Seoul, I was able to sit down with one ambitious young girl named Nara, to hear what she went through. Long story short, Nara escaped North Korea in 2015 by swimming over a river into China. Then she illegally entered Thailand without a passport, where she was thrown in jail for 1 month. After getting in touch with the South Korean embassy, they granted her citizenship and allowed her to move to Seoul. Wh

A strong message from our North Korean tour guide, whose name I'll keep anonymous... People are people, no matter how you look at it. They all have hopes and dreams, just like you and I do. I wish the media would focus a little more on the positives and not the negatives about the people in the DPRK. Thoughts? | Drew Binsky

In today's video, I share my honest thoughts with you about North Korea after 4 years since my visit... I didn't mention in the video that I am one of the very last Americans to step foot in the country because a few months after I left, all Americans were banned to visit (which is still in effect today). I often think about North Korea and I wanted to take this time to re-tell my story, share my thoughts, reflections and also get some feedback from you. What are your opinions about North Korea?
