The face of a young North Korean defector who attended the State of the Union address as President Donald Trump’s special guest lit up with excitement when asked about his first meeting with the president, in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller.
Trump introduced the American people at the State of the Union address Tuesday to Ji Seong-ho, a North Korean defector who overcame starvation, a tragic accident that left him physically disabled, the loss of loved ones, torture, and a challenging thousand-mile journey to freedom on a pair of wooden crutches.
A number of people gathered to take pictures with the president after Trump concluded his speech.
“There were so many American heroes in the waiting room,” Ji told The Daily Caller Thursday, recalling his feelings that night. “But, I was the first person to take a photo with the president.”
“I was nervous,” he said, admitting that he felt a little embarrassed, like he did not deserve such an honor.
The president appeared to pick up on Ji’s discomfort. “He comforted me and said he admired me for what I’d been through. He put a hand on my shoulder, hugged me, and gave me a wink,” Ji told The Daily Caller, smiling bright as he described his first meeting with Trump.
“It was unforgettable,” he added.
