‘Is this South Korea?’: North Korean defector was reportedly unsure of location, wanted Korean music
“A North Korean defector receiving medical care at a South Korean
hospital made an interesting request
after confirming he was in South Korea, according to sources from
the South Korean newspaper Dong-a Ilbo.The defector was reportedly shot six times and
received multiple surgical procedures after stealing a jeep and
crawling southward as his comrades fired 40 rounds from their
weapons. Doctors said the defector was in stable condition,
according to Reuters."Is this South Korea,“ the defector asked, according to the Ilbo.
After he received confirmation that he was in fact in South
Korea, he reportedly said he would “like to listen to South
Korean songs,” the Ilbo reported.According to government sources cited by the Ilbo, South Korean
officials are investigating whether the defector may have been
successfully influenced by South Korean female music groups.
South Korea employs various types of psychological operations
against the North, including blasting South Korean pop music on
loudspeakers. Government sources told the Ilbo that the defector
may have been motivated to cross the border because of a
connection between South Korea’s pop-music propaganda and his
young age.Early in recovery, the defector reportedly communicated with
doctors by blinking his eyes and changing his facial expressions,
the Ilbo continued.Although authorities have yet to release the defector’s identity
and rank, he has become a symbol of the humanitarian struggle in
North Korea after doctors discovered parasites in his digestive
tract.Lead surgeon Lee Cook-Jung said that there were dozens of
parasites, some over 10 inches, that were removed during
surgery: “In my over 20 year-long career as a surgeon, I have
only seen something like this in a textbook.“”
“Government sources told the Ilbo that the defectormay have been motivated to cross the border because of a
connection between South Korea’s pop-music propaganda and his
young age. “
