This is what it's like to go undercover in North Korea

TED 2015
Suki Kim: This is what it's like to go undercover in North Korea
I love this TEDtalk the best that I have ever read in my life.
My report
By chance, I heard this speech. Somehow, I was deeply moved, and I thought  that the speaker Suki Kim whose English was easy for me to hear, probably, it's because she is Korean who is the Asian person like me and her native language is not English.
People must think, that people don't want to talk about North Korea, because it is the country where it is strange, scary and hard to understand. It will be too difficult to talk, but she speaks fair but it is TED stage.
In the video, parts I was moved  are that first, she wanted to know and write the truth about North Korea, but her thoughts changed. She wanted to tell the students the truth, but she started to think that it would be dangerous and put them at risk. She could not hate North Korea, because it's their home, even if it's the merciless country.
And then, her students said to her, "we never think of you as being different from us. Our circumstances are different, but you're the same as us. We want you to know that we truly think of you as being the same."
I love the relationship that was created among the teacher and the students. This is true love on education. However, in this story, they cannot do anything for each other anymore.
North Korea, South Korea and Japan are the same Asian countries though there is a lot of difference that you are not able to learn in the textbooks and schools.
