The soldier crossed the heavily guarded “demilitarised zone” dividing South Korea and Kim Jong-un’s hermit state.
South Korean officials confirmed the soldier’s defection today and the man becomes the latest in a string of recent defections, defying threats from the despotic North Korean leader that they will face a “pre-emptive, consecutive attack on them in a more deadly and severe punishment without any warning and prior notice”.
It comes after a senior official at North Korea’s London embassy also defected in August, saying he was “sick and tired of the Kim Jong-un regime”.
Thae Yong Ho vanished with his wife and children from the Ealing embassy, claiming to be craving a more liberal existence and saying Kim Jong-un’s regime was “at breaking point” with many senior figures also on the brink of defection.
