N Korean soldier defects to South across border

Watch how quick the Dictatorship reapplies tight border controls after this incident.

Is it a defection , a political ploy or an intelligence gathering operation?

Congratulations to that soldier for making it unharmed.

Good. I hope he has better life in SK. Nobody wants to live under communism, nobody.

He really worked on his timing!

Tourist visas is better.

Any family members in NK are going to have a rough time.

The incident did not trigger any gunfire, unlike last year when a North Korean soldier ran across under a hail of bullets from his own side.

Very suspicious that there was no gunfire. Maybe he was allowed to defect as a spy?

Let's see what happens when a civilian caravan tries to defect.
