North Korean diplomat fled to South Korea
And about. The head of the North Korean embassy mission in Kuwait, Ryu Hyun-woo, fled to South Korea, Yonhap News reported.
Ryu Hyun Woo entered the country with his family, according to a South Korean news agency. The source noted that the diplomat decided to desert for the future of the children.
It is also speculated that the escaped diplomat may be the son-in-law of Jung Il Jung, who until 2017 headed an organization used by the North Korean authorities “to manage secret funds and purchase luxury goods.”
Earlier it was reported that the acting North Korean ambassador to Italy, Cho Sung-gil, secretly fled to Seoul. According to media reports, he and his wife are under the protection of the South Korean authorities.
Last November, a North Korean citizen fled to South Korea by jumping over a three-meter fence on the border of the two countries.
