For the Love of Christ, People, Please Stop Walking Into North Korea!

Yes, it has happened again. Link in Korean only so far. The man is said to be a South Korean national in his 30’s or 40’s. Ten North Korean guards were there to welcome him, and one gobsmacked Chinese taxi driver was there to see him off.

I should note that it’s not confirmed yet why this guy crossed or what his plan was, so I’m speculating.

Well, I’ll admit it: if enough people do this, it certainly will get plenty of attention. I’d still rather see people set up networks to smuggling in food, clothing, medicine, and cell phones than do stuff like this. And frankly, with Kim Jong Il still not using his inside voice with Lee Myung Bak, I have a much greater fear for the treatment of a South Korean national.
