RE: Several posters and I would all like to know why he went to North Korea.
According to reports:

Otto Warmbier was visiting North Korea as part of a tourist group arranged by Young Pioneer Tours, a tour agency based in Xian, China.
Warmbier said he tried to steal the poster in exchange for a $10,000 used car, the New York Times reported, citing information the North Korean state news media released late last month.
He also said that the Z Society, a secret club at the University of Virginia founded in 1862, promised him membership if he was successful at stealing the poster, according to the New York Times, citing North Korean state media from a press conference on Feb. 29. A member at the Z society at UVA told CNN late last month the organization had never been in contact with Warmbier and that he had never approached them to become a member.
