Japanese man caught attempting to enter North Korea
Luckily, some South Korean soldiers apprehended him before he could go through with his dumb plan:
Yonhap news agency said the 40-year-old approached a barbed-wire fence in the Cheorwon area on Wednesday night but was detained after being spotted by South Korean soldiers.
The man initially said he was trying to cross into North Korea to protest tensions on the peninsula and promote peace, it quoted an unidentified defense official as saying.
The man was handed over to his embassy in Seoul and recanted his earlier statements about his motive, the official added.
“He appeared mentally ill. He was seen wandering near the border after walking into the patrol zone,” the agency quoted an official as saying, adding that the man arrived in South Korea about 10 days ago.
