why didn't I think of that?

Good for that guy. Is it common practice to run from north to south korea? I'd imagine if this happened a lot then north korea would talk about how they will blow south korea up so no.

There must be some really strong alcohol in DRPK to actually wake up and have escaped / immigrated to another country without knowing. For South Korea to offer him citizenship so freely sounds like bullcrap to me.

Now thats the new ideal for drunkeness. Getting out of a repressive country and being offered citizenship in another. Clearly drunkeness fights repressive regimes.

If you lived in North Korea this would likely be censored from you!

Its a shame his whole family will probably be sent to labor camps once the North Korean government figures out. That is one of the main reasons people don't at least attempt to escape, because if they succeed, their families will be punished.

Lolwut, alcohol sales in NK just went up by 100% :p Don't think they'll report it at all and if they did, the story would probably be that this man died ^^

It really would not surprise me if he were actually a NK spy. That said, funny story.

or maybe he's now depressed because his family is over there suffering and he is now in SK with no education and no job experience, how is he to survive without government assistance?

So was he a party official or a part of the military to have access to all that alcohol in North Korea?
Or was he connected to some underground collaboration to secure alcohol?

And yeah ... fear the backlash >< Just take on the name Sung Park and go on >.>

"A NEW CRAZE AMONG COMPUTER INTERESTED YOUTH"

"It has been reported that a new craze has started developing among youth interested in the personal computer game "STARCRAFT 2: WINGS OF LIBERTY". They believe you should get intoxiated beyond control and drive off into the great sea on a piece of wood, hoping that one day you will end up on the South Korean shores and being given a South Korean citizenship, instantly granting oneself the mythical ability of becoming a so called "Bonjwa" in the game Starcraft.

More on this as things develop further."
