North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho holds crutches above his head as he's honoured at the State of the Union

This is the emotional moment that disabled North Korea defector Ji Seong-ho is given a standing ovation at the State of the Union address.

President Trump told the story of how Seong-ho was made to suffer in North Korea before escaping.

Today Seong-ho lives in Seoul, South Korea where he rescues other defectors and broadcasts into North Korea.
