they used to do this to Japanese people on public beaches also.
usually they were sent to be language and culture teachers to North Korean spies in training so that they could pass themselves off as Japanese in case they wanted to bomb an airliner or carry-out sabotage activities ashore.
What a nightmare for him, and his family & friends. Just awful if true.
What is Obama doing about this? And, importantly, how long has he, Clinton, and others known about this?
Color me skeptical that the ChiComs didn’t know what really happened.
Imagine his terror when the little riceball gives him hungry eyes. Human bulgogi is said to be a Kim Jong Un fave; explains why he is the only nonskinny person in the DPRK.
Wasn’t there a Star Trek episode where some alien race kidnapped Kirk as an experiment of their top leaders, and put women in his cage to mate with him?
Is Kim Jong Un a fan of Star Trek?
Believable. The Norks have done this before.
Especially against the Japanese.

He’s a Mormon missionary who is fluent in Korean and now married with a wife and 2 kids in Pyongyang.
In 1904, a kidnapping of a Greek-American by a Moroccan Berber bandit, caused Teddy Roosevelt to issue this warning to the ruler of Morocco; “Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!” While the story was fictionalized into the movie “The Wind and the Lion”, it still remains one of the dreams that haunt Presidents, powerful but powerless!
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) / North Korea, has committed National crimes so numerous as to boggle the mind! They kill, maim and starve their citizens without qualm, they counterfeit US $100 that are almost perfect, they bomb and assassinate their opponents throughout Asia and they play the kidnap game like no one else. Oh and they also build atomic bombs and ICBMs!
The fact is that they would have been smeared like a stain if they didn’t share borders with Russia, China and South Korea (RoK). The first 2 protect them and the latter’s capital is within artillery range of more guns than in a nightmare. They play ‘CRAZY’ better than the best actor in Hollywood because no one can rely that they aren’t really CRAZY! After all, reputedly, the current weirdo, scion of a family of weirdos, recently fed a live relative to pigs, while having an ousted government official used as the aiming point in a mortar live fire.
So, while we know that the right thing to do is say “Sneddon alive and returned or else!”, even Reagan would have a problem with this conundrum!
“Perdicaris Alive or Raisuli Dead!”, or so much for the Big Stick.
The route goes both ways. Many have sneaked across into NK and were surprised when they ended up kidnapped or in prison.
Has Kim been heard announcing in public: “I have three testicles”?
Kim Jong Un does this all the time same as his father ,if they need an actress or a director ,tutor etc
Not buying it. It’s either not true, or the kid went willingly. I guess a third possibility is he got lost hiking and crossed into NK never to be heard from again.
The Norks could have advertised for a tutor and found plenty of Idealistic idiots to come tutor for next to nothing and legal.
