    I demand an explanation why SK officials want to keep such information secret. Zelensky did the right thing and I’m happy to know there were 2 SK citizens fighting against Ukraine. SK should show some fucking accountability instead of this childish behaviour.

        I’ve heard that, too. Maybe the soldiers should have kept their mouths shut. Why didn’t they?

        While still in Ukraine, the two soldiers said in media interviews that they wanted to resettle in South Korea.

      But isn’t this article about two North Korean POWs who wanted to resettle in South Korea and were granted that wish?

      I think there’s a misunderstanding here. SK considers all North Koreans as their citizens, which is why they will gladly take anyone who has fled across the border. There could be a number of legitimate reasons why they want to keep this transfer secret.

        “Gladly” lol

        North Korean detectors are taken reluctantly and treated rather poorly. Most live in abject poverty. Certainly better than a life in the North, but hardly the loving welcome of a long lost citizen
