South Korean Defects to North Korea
A 30-year-old South Korean has defected to North Korea by crossing the inter-Korean border, North Korea's media reported Tuesday.
South Korean authorities refused to immediately confirm the report, saying they are looking into it.
North Korea's Central Television claimed that the man identified as Kang Dong-lim crossed the eastern military demarcation line Monday, and is currently under the protection of a related agency.
He served in the Army between September 2001 and November 2003, and worked for Samsung Semiconductor. He raised pigs in a rural area before defecting, according to the report.
