It is a story with many questions and that is generating a whole international conflict. A US soldier crossed into North Korea without permission yesterday. He joined a tourist tour as a civilian before returning to the United States. In theory it was his turn to go home because he had involved her in his destiny, South Korea. They fear that he could now become an informer for the regime of Pyongyang.

His name is Travis T. King, 23 years old and a ground soldier stationed in South Korea.

Thus, he has detailed that the Army notified him that his son had crossed the border and added that he spoke with him “a few days ago”, when he told him that he would return to his base in Fort Bliss soon. “I want her to come home,” he has pointed out to her.

On the other hand, legal sources cited by the South Korean news agency Yonhap have revealed that King was sentenced to a five million won fine (around 3,520 euros) in February after causing damage to a patrol car in the country’s capital, Seoul.

The man was accused of repeatedly hitting a vehicle door during an incident in October 2022 in the Mapo district, where he was detained. They have also reported that King did not cooperate with the agents who asked him to identify themselves and uttered insults against South Korea. Upon arrival in Texas he was facing a disciplinary process.

The UN is mediating for the boy to come home. But Kim Jong Un’s is a very closed regime avid for possible spies that has not had an American prisoner for years. Thus, all the authorities admit that “repatriating” him is not going to be easy.
