AZUZ: Seven hundred and thirty-five days in NorthKorea was long enough. That's a quote from U.S.citizen Kenneth Bae, who just gave his firstinterview since he was released from a NorthKorean prison in 2014.
It's not known exactly why Bae was arrested in2012. He was a tour operator in North Korea. Hewas charged with hostile acts. Two years went by before the U.S. director of nationalintelligence carried a letter from President Obama addressed to North Korean dictator KimJong-un.
U.S. officials say that might have been the high level that North Korea wanted from the U.S.Shortly afterward, Bae was released. He hasn't forgotten his ordeal or what got him through it.
KENNETH BAE, FORMER NORTH KOREAN POLITICAL PRISONER: I was the first Americanever sent to a labor camp in North Korea and I have to work from 8:00 in the morning until6:00 at night six days a week. Working on the field, doing farming, labor, work on carrying arock and shoveling coal.
And all those things that was physically very demanding and was very difficult, especially I havea back problems and different issues that I have before even imprisonment.
But along the way, that I found myself adjusting the life in those Korean prison, justdepending upon God and just solely pretty much living day to day and just live one day at atime.
CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Did they tell you you're not going home? You're going to behere forever? What kind of things would they say to you in the prison?
BAE: Well, there was a one prosecutor assigned to my case for the last year of myimprisonment. He came to me almost every week and say, no one remember you. You havebeen forgotten by people, your government, you're not going home anytime soon, you'll behere for 15 years. You'll be 60 before you go home.
CUOMO: What would that do to your head?
BAE: Obviously, it was very difficult to take it in. But I was holding on to the promise that itwas from — when I was praying from God that, you know, he will be my rescuer and the U.S.government would do everything possible that bring me home.
So, I was holding on to the promise.
