A North Korean defector living in South Korea was detained on Tuesday after ramming a stolen bus into a barricade on a bridge near the heavily militarized border, in an apparent attempt to get back to the North, Yonhap news agency reported.
The incident took place at around 1:30 a.m. (16:30 GMT on Monday) at the Tongil Bridge in Paju, northwest of the capital Seoul, after the man ignored warnings from soldiers guarding the bridge and attempted to drive through, Yonhap said, citing city police.
Paju police referred queries on the incident to provincial police authorities. The northern Gyeonggi police agency could not be reached for comment.
The man aged in his 30s who had defected more than a decade ago told police that he was trying to return to North Korea after struggling to settle in the South, the report said.
even VOA admit it
Admit what?
That one fucking guy wanted to go back. Apparently that’s some kind of “gotcha”, despite just about everybody else going from the North to the South.
Just ignore the foreign intelligence operatives and go about your business.
Amazing how few people know that VOA is literal US propaganda and are down voting you.

Our?
You would be surprised how few people are aware that VOA is propaganda. They think it is something like NPR.
It is not.
Good job in knowing something most people don’t?
What’s with the sarcastic tone, again?

The only response that deserves your previous sarcasm is this one. There is a difference between federally funded news programs like NPR, and outright propaganda outlet with no journalistic standards like the VOA, but I can’t believe you actually believe most people know that.
But hey, I guess informing people of that deserves an asshole amount of sarcasm.

Do you work for VOA or something?
Say what you will about North Korea, at least it’s not being poor in South Korea?
