North Korean Soldier Captured By Ukraine Indicates He Wants to Defect to South Korea
This Soldier must not care much about whatever family he has in North Korea because they will assuredly be sent to work camps due to this decision:
One of the two North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine has expressed his wish to go to South Korea, a news report said Wednesday, in what would be the first known case for a North Korean captive to voice an intent to defect to the South.
A North Korean solider, identified only by his surname Ri, said in an interview with the Chosun Ilbo that he never knew he would engage in combat against Ukraine as he was told that he would be sent to Russia for training as an overseas student.
“I have made up my mind 80 percent … Above all, I will seek refuge and am thinking about going to the Republic of Korea (ROK). If I apply for asylum, would they take me?” Ri said, when asked about his plan for the future.

GI, for being captured alive, their families were probably already sent to camps or killed. 🙁
“…he never knew he would engage in combat against Ukraine as he was told that he would be sent to Russia for training as an overseas student.”
He followed that comment with, ‘Boy, imagine my surprised when I went to Russia to get my degree in Social Justice and on my first day at the University of Kirst, I went to DEI 101 and they handed me a rifle and said this was Destroy Every Invader 101. Then they showed us how to put the George Floyd on any POWs.”
