Imagine having the antidote to what is killing you in your bag next to you the whole time

this is one of those cases where reality surpasses fiction

Uh, no one else is worried about this stuff being in the ocean or are we just breezing past that

I’m just so glad the two girls survived this ordeal and even got relatively light sentences and now are back with their families.

I think "unknowingly killed" would be more accurate than "accidentally." His death wasn't an accident. I'm glad the women are ok and able to continue living relatively normal lives.

How did the prosecution not even realize that they both had the same exact stories but didn't even speak each other's language . Unless they thought they lied about that

The fact that they still keep in touch is honestly so sweet im glad theyre both ok

It's so sweet that the girls are still in contact and are basically sisters now. Just a little light in a dark situation.

Crazy how the the older brother was raised and groomed by a psycho and yet still formed his own opinion and saw the wrongs being done

I absolutely love the off-screen exclamations from the fiance, he always sounds so invested in the story and sincerely shook by the plot twists. He's like the everyman character reacting to the mayhem.

The amount of training the spies put the UKpostsrs through, just for this one 10 second action is insane to think about

I was so intrigued already and then you hit us with the "None of this would've happened if not for Disneyland!" WHAT?!

Just a side note: Antidotes are sometimes (not often) also poisonous if taken without the poison. That means if you are not sure if you have been poisoned by this exact poison and still take it, you are risking worsening your case. That's why medical staff have to be really sure about the substance people get poisend with before giving any antidotes

the way they slowly manipulated the girls was just scarily clever

Ok, no director or author could ever come up with such an insane story. Seriously, if we would see that happening in a movie exactly the same way it actually did, most of us would be like "Yea, that's so crazy and unrealistic. The directors imagination was going wild with that movie."

the s3x work thing really made me feel sad for her. no one wants to sell their own body and being raised in a religious family myself i know how geniunly hard it must've been for her :(

I hope our generation will experience North Korea and its citizens being freed from dictatorship, and finally have a leader who leads the people instead of torturing.

The butterfly effect is truly wild. The fact that a failed trip to Disney world is potentially responsible for the current state of North Korea is so batshit I don't even know what to say.

Its crazy that, he wasn't more careful, knowing how evil his brother is.

I recall this. It was reported as 2 female North Korean assassins were caught but claimed it was a youtube prank, such a ridiculous claim that when u only here a snippet, you scoff & wish for their executions. I am very glad to hear your report upon the truth of the matter. Thank you!!

I feel so sad for the North Korean people, that they still being ruled by this criminal family.

Didn’t either of the girls lawyer teams ask the simple question, “ where would my client have acquired the poison? Seeing it wasn’t available anywhere, and neither of them are chemists?” 🤔

That part where you mentioned the Kim family studying in Switzerland, the kids I used to babysit, their dad went to school with Kim Jong Un. His family still lives in Switzerland, but it was neat hearing how he connected the dots and found out as an adult who that classmate was

Is no one else terrified of the fact that multiple TONS of an extremely toxic chemical is just casually in our ocean…

As a Malaysian, I remember reading about updates on the case every day in the news. But none of the big tabloids went into such detail about the 2 women. Thank you for shedding light on their side of the story

I can’t imagine the trauma these women might have. I would live in fear and paranoia for the rest of my life.

I hope those girls are doing okay now. I would have many trust issues for the rest of my life after that. I think they should be provided with free therapy and psychiatrist for life to help them sort through such complicated feelings.

As a nurse I would not just tell him to seat there and wait even if i don’t see it physically as long as the person is claiming it hurts so much I would push emergency NEVER ignore a patient’s cry for help!

What a terrifying experience for those two young girls. So glad they became bonded friends and keep in touch through their shared trauma.

This is a ridiculously insane story. I heard nothing about it when it had happened. You're an incredible story teller, and I'm an instant fan.

It's so cruel that they made them think it was a prank

You tell a story with enthusiasm and love. Delighted that both young ladies were free to return to their homeland.

im not sure why but the fact that the girls bonded and the way you described it made me tear up, i cant imagine how scared and confused they were during that whole experience, and im glad to know that they are free and living relatively normal lives.

I'm from Malaysia, so when the news of the assassination came out I was shocked it happened in such a public place and in KLIA, which I've been to many times. Had no idea these girls were tricked into doing these 'pranks' before performing the last one. Thanks for covering this even further including the lives of the innocent women used as scapegoats to kill someone. My heart breaks for them since they went through such tribulations. I'm so relieved they were finally released and hoping their lives and family's to get better.

This is the most up to date information on whats really going on in the world. Ive learn so much from this channel than all the lies and censorship. Keep up the great job of providing the real truth.

The “WHAAAAT” of your husband is the cherry top of your excellent narration. Love you both.

It's actually insane how much research goes into these videos, and it doesn't even look like she's really looking off of a document, kinda like she's memorized/learned all these things which is insanely impressive

This woman is an absolute treasure of a storyteller!

This is the most insane story I have ever heard! Stephanie is one of the most courageous women I have seen, for speaking uncomfortable truths with absolute grace! Thanks to you all for the work you do! ❤

Hands down best storyteller! I work remotely and it can be boring. I binge on your videos and don't even have to look up at the screen. I enjoy the details you give, the voices of the characters, and even your fiance in the background... I'm so happy I found your channel

For everyone that is like "omg why didnt he use the antidote" let me share a few things about this "antidote". For starters, the toxin in question is known as an irreversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholinesterase job is to break down acetylcholine. A common neurotransmitter (signaling chemical) in your body that mainly regulated the "rest and digest" part of your nervous system. So when you get a toxin like VX , its going to stop the breakdown of Acetylcholine leading to increased levels in the body causing excess "rest and digest" mode. This will lead to symptoms like low heart rate, shortness of breath, too much salivation, and your nervous system getting really excited which can cause stuff like confusion , seizure, becoming psychotic. Now. This man would not be able to 100% know for himself, even if he was instructed on what symptoms to lookout for, on whether or not he was being poisoned with this particular toxin. But lets say he took the chance and gave himself the antidote (atropine). For one. Thats not even the full antidote. He still needs the second part of the antidote pralidoxime as atropine has its limitations. Secondly, what IF he gave himself the Atropine and he didnt actually have this particular toxicity? He just gave himself the atropine and that comes with its own set of side effects. It would potentially send his body in rapid "flight or fight" response and spike up his heart rate and shortness of breath and confusion. He could even die if the dose is high enough. So yah. Just wanted to provide a little insight on the mechanics of this drug. Also, fun fact for you all. There is a less potent toxin of the same mechanism that farmers get exposed to and present similarly to this man. Same treatment for them too. Atropine!

Came for the insane title, stayed for the expert storytelling skills

this is actually so sad. i can't fathom how those women felt and still feel to this day :(

You’re such an amazing storyteller! Thank you for sharing this story.

This whole thing got me thinking what would happen if the eldest brother was in the power instead of what we have now. Thank you for covering this case.

This is the most insane story I have ever heard. Didn't expect to almost cry towards the end but here we are. I hope the girls are okay. Reality really is stranger than fiction

honestly "my bff Jong Un" sounds like one of those weird over the top comical k dramas

I feel very sorry for what those girls went through. Thank you for telling this story, Bless you.❤😊

i feel HORRIBLE for these girls. they both deserved better

Stephanie your delivery is unmatched. The consistency to able to upload on all your platform is immaculate. It’s so comforting listening to you. Thank you for always making the time and look after yourself ☺️

You create some of the best content on UKposts and I'm happy to have recently discovered your channel.

im actually so disgusted by the dictatorship of kim jong un, it makes me so sad that dictatorship still exists and it is so cruel.

Stephanie is the only true crime story UKpostsr who is keeping me on edge. The stories she choose, the way she tells those story, it feels like you are watching a movie.

I love the way Stephanie starts her rotten mangos, her way of story-telling as a whole brings you on a thrilling journey and makes it almost impossible not to imagine the scenes and such she's describing. It reminds me of the feeling I would get when I was little and someone would readme a story book, it's very calming and comforting while you live through the story and feel for the victims

I've just found this channel and you are an incredible story teller. So immeasurably engaging, magnetic and mesmerising. I'm on the edge of my seat!

"but misogyny wins" with a smile on her face😅😅😅😅😂😂😂 I caaaaan't

Such a cool video! Malaysian here, I'm a law graduate and my lecturer was the lawyer representing Siti Aisyah when the whole thing blew up. You narrated everything very well, even the legal process. Good job.

as a malaysian, this was big news back then. people are scared because one of the dictator brothers died here. imagine the anxiety we get until the result of the autopsy. a big chaos because this involved n.korea 😭 🙏 thank you stephanie for covering this case ❤ love from malaysia!

You did such a great job telling that story.

Stephanie, I binge watch your televised UKposts podcasts! Thank you for all the stories you cover!

Seeing that clip of his son's interview suddenly made everything all too real. He is so brave, I'm sure his father would be proud.

I’m the mom of 1 child, a son ,who right now is 20 years old. This case really touched me. I guess because I could imagine how the parents of the girls must have felt. These poor girls, just trying to live their dreams of being actresses, it’s so sad and horrifying. Sending love to the girls, wishing them happy , successful lives.

What an insane story. But still so believable! Thank you for telling it! (passionate and detailed as usual ❤️) your hairstyle is so cute too!

I remember this. Specifically that one of them was wearing a shirt that said LOL, which made it pretty obvious to me that she thought she was filming a prank and not an assassination. I was so scared for them, and I was so relieved when they were finally freed. Can you imagine? The whole scenario is just completely unbelievable. I feel just terrible for the man who died, too. To think that his salvation was in his backpack. I have to think he just didn't realize what was happening to him. I think that happens to a lot of people. How often have you heard of someone having the symptoms of a heart attack and they still don't realize that's what's happening to them, despite years of very specific warnings? He probably didn't realize he'd been poisoned with a nerve agent, or thought he'd have more time.

This girls talent for telling a story is untouchable. She should be winning an Oscar or Grammy for this story alone. New sub. I love her way or delivering this story

It’s so crazy to think he had the antidote right there with him! It’s also sad that he thought his own brother was out to kill him. This is such a crazy story!

I am so glad I found your channel. I could sit and listen to you all day

I've decided that listening to you tell the stories is even better than the news and reading books!!!

It's easy to forget just how cruel and insidious some people - especially people in powerful positions - can be. A story like this is a good reminder that the world is not anywhere near as friendly and peaceful as some seem to think. There are some true monsters out there.

This is one of the wildest real life stories that has happen in a while. I always appreciate Stephanie coming with the background and facts. And her opinions 😂😂

Hello from Kentucky ❤ I’m new to your channel and let me just say I am so glad I came across your channel. You are an absolute amazing story teller and I could listen to you all day! As a matter of fact I’ve been listening to all your true crime story times all weekend! ❤

You are by far one of the best storytellers out there. You make it like we are there watching as it all unfolds. Seriously you are amazing!

Whenever I hear about dumping things into the ocean I'm like "You know that could kill us all, right?"

OH MY GOD I still remember this case! during the time Malaysia & NK were "fighting", we Malaysians were amazed but also scared by how brave our government was. there was a wave of hysteria where people were like "OMG we're gonna get attacked by NK's nuclear bomb". looking back it was such a bizarre time in history

This is, by far, my favourite video of yours! Thank you for doing this! Sincerely, A new Subscriber :)

Coming from Malaysia, this incident was pretty hard to deal with, especially when we were still recovering from a string of unfortunate events at that time. Thank you for sharing this story in the most fair viewpoint possible.

listen. I'm Malaysian and I knew maybe 20% of what you've just detailed in this story. I'm so glad the girls are out and okay now, as well as acquiring a new friend in each other. also fun fact: the former north korean embassy was used by netflix to promote the south korean version of money heist lmao

I really admire and I'm jealous of your speaking skills. You explain events so skillfully that it seems like you are there physically. This is a great video.

I love Stephanie's story telling and how detailed they are!

i know you probably get this a lot, but you are a phenomenal storyteller. i have a short attention span (like, i’ve been psychologically tested as being in the bottom 1% of attentive ability i’m being so forreal) but i am able to watch your videos and stay hooked the whole time. you also are very respectful in the way you tell these stories. you bring a lot of humanity to the names involved, which is often something that other accounts of true crime fail to do. i hope that this channel takes you far. just, wow.

Hey Stephanie I recently started watching your videos and I'm obsessed 😊and I've been wanting to suggest you this case . It's a South African case about the murder of Desiree Murugan that happened in 2014. Her killers have already been caught and sentenced so it's pretty easy to find information about the case on Google .I found this case so scary and heartbreaking and I honestly find the reason behind her murder soooo desturbing and sickening wish really leave's you with alot of questions .let me know if you could mabey cover it * Guys pls like this comment so Stephanie could see it easier I really do believe that this case needs more recognisation . Thanks

I cannot stop watching this channel. Its really interesting to hear about the politics and the culture, and most of these cases I have never heard of. Thanks for sharing.

" quiet people are only quiet because their mind is full of things that should not be shared"

I think it's so wild to think that at any moment that even the family of those in power aren't 100% safe. That part about the uncle and his family was so wild, I bet he couldn't have imagined that would happen when the power changed hands.

My heart breaks for the North Korean citizens, cut off from the outside world…unable to speak up, unable to leave the country, unable to watch anything from outside the country….the mad thing is that if you murder someone you get less time that if you’re caught downloading watching a Korean dramas or American tv shows 😢

For this to be a true story is incredible! God bless those poor girls & may they never see another hard day for the rest of their lives.

Why did they dump it in the ocean 😭

Everytime i watch Stephanie's vids i'm always amazed at how she does so much and continues to deliver it so eloquently. EVERY. TIME. love and appreciate you Steph!!!

Holy crap, this woman really knows how to get you hooked onto the story from the get-go, and its only been 8 minutes of an hour in

Congratulations on being my first ever video I’ve watched from you. Now I watch basically every video from yours 😭

I've seen you on fb before and I thought your stories were really interesting. I love the fact that you get really into it with your stories and is easy to get sucked in.

1:07:13 Of course the spies didn't care at all for the girls but to do one last trick to trap Doan was extra callous. 1:09:55 I can't imagine the shock and realisation to scramble and plead their case for being so heavily manipulated. 1:14:11 Imagine being one of the people they unknowingly practiced on. What an eerie feeling! 1:18:32 Doan and Siti becoming like sisters is sweet. At least they got a bond out of this trauma. I'm so glad they're free and I hope they have better lives now. 1:22:24 His son was very brave to speak out. I hope Nam's family can stay safe and live normal enough lives. 1:26:17 Doan's village and family throwing a party and supporting her was so touching.

I usually skip ads, but never on this one. This is the simpliest way to honor such a good storyteller who made tons of work on this. Thank you so much

She's an excellent story teller. Good job!

Love the way you guys share the stories, awesome storytelling style!

I wasn’t expecting to sit through an hour and a half of UKposts today but it’s truly so interesting (and tragic) that I couldn’t stop watching. I think it’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking to think of the girls’ bond despite not speaking the same language, it truly was just them against the world at that time.

An accidental murder is so unreal, thank you for covering this case it was really interesting!

I just discovered your channel yesterday I really love your storytelling skills!! And you are a lovely young lady❤

I am playing catch up with your stories. Some I have heard before, and, some are new to me. I see you years from now with generations of you, and, your husband’s family gathered around at a family celebration, and, you ending the night with you telling a story!!!! You are AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤

It’s sad how just a little prank can ruin people’s life or even kill them EDIT: I did not mean to start a fight 😭 I was talking about how the girls lives got ruined by a prank and how they could’ve died if that makes sense
