Defector.

This is coolbert:

The defector is defective!

American soldier Korea have crossed the border into North Korea. A very rare occurance! First time in forty years!

Hardly in can easily be surmised not a ideological defection however.

"About that US serviceman who 'defected' to North Korea..."

As seen at the Internet web site https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com | July 21, 2023.

"Legal sources here said Thursday that King, 23, received a 5 million-won ($3,955) fine from a court in Seoul on Feb. 8 on charges of inflicting damage on a police patrol vehicle."

"King, however, did not pay the fine and was eventually detained in a prison workshop for 48 days in line with a court ruling that he be held for one day for each unpaid 100,000 won, the sources said."

"He was accused of repeatedly kicking the back door of a police patrol vehicle in Seoul's Mapo district in the wee hours of Oct. 8 and inflicting damage that required 584,000-won worth of repairs."

The soldier King have done time in a South Korean prison for damage done to a police car and in the process of being returned to the USA decides to defect to the North Koreans. The soldier King merely a common criminal knowing he was going to face military trial USA and perhaps additional imprisonment for his bad actions Korea.

The man foolishly ran and now his fate unknown. Nothing to get excited about here! Just move along folks.
