Cross-border drama as SKorean activist arrested

- (6 Jul 2012) No Su-hui had a loud and colorful sendoff as he finished a visit in North Korea. Returning home to certain detention in the South through the truce village of Panmunjom was designed to draw attention to his cause.
SOT
A large crowd, with many waving white unity flags, had lined up to watch No's actual border crossing, as South Korean soldiers and police waited for him. The 68-year-old activist held his own white flag and he was sporting a white unity pin on his lapel as well.
The chants grew more and more frantic as the moment approached for him to cross over the demarcation line.
UPSOUND
and with a cry of "long live national reunification," No turned, paused dramatically and then walked into arms of security officials, who wrestled with him through the Demilitarised Zone and later going into a police office.
According to South Korea's National Security law, sneaking into the North without government permission is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
In the border city of Paju another crowd of activists gathered. They were furious in denouncing No and his return.
They burned mock figures of him and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The drama as a whole was a reminder of the deep divisions that remain on the Korean peninsula, geographically, politically and socially.

The first time I crossed the border from Oman into UAE (by car), in 2015. nobody stopped me on the Omani side until I reached UAE passport control (it must have been a lunch break or something). The UAE officials refused to grant me entry since I had no Omani exit stamp. So I had to turn back to Omani passport control where they viewed me with suspicion since I now was coming from the direction of the UAE without the UAE exit stamp. Good thing the two countries were on friendly terms and Omanis accepted my explanation and stamped my exit (upon which I continued into UAE), otherwise I could have ended up prosecuted like this Korean guy or been left between the two borders for god knows how long, since my country did not even have an embassy in Oman back then 😳.
What country are you from
Same border same problem 🥲
I had the same experience at the same border. In my case didn't have to explain much. I believe it is a common occurence there.
Mostly probably from iran Or syria

So the North Koreans peacefully chanting were called "frantic" while the South Koreans burning an effigy of the guy were described as a "gathering". Great job being objective AP.
Also, he did not "walk into the arms" of anyone. He was grabbed and handled fairly roughly as soon as he crossed the border.
yes because he commited a crime by sneaking in NK and once he was back on soil he was under arrest.
@@chickendinner2562 dude even if he was, he didn't need to be grabbed like that, dude walked over on his own, clearly didn't have bad intentions
So it’s crime to enter North Korea without permission for the South Korean government and its a crime to leave North Korea without permission for the North Korean government. The South Korean law never gets mentioned in comparison to the North Korean law. Levels of hypocrisy are high. If you want to be the great democratic system, be fair in your approach. As soon as you start being sneaky and sly, you undermine the system you are trying to create. Like the Americans and their foreign wars. Oh Great America but we will bomb who we want, invade who we want, spy on our own people but ban Tik Tok. It’s laughable.

The South Koreans really played into the hands of Kim, by exactly showcasing the behaviour he accuses them off. And further convincing the North Koreans that Kim is right.
They did not. Avarage North Koreans are in touch with reality.
It has no implications on the world or South Korea. It may convince the North with his propaganda like you suggested. Which south doesn't really care about.
Reunification is a lose situation for South
Well... It's not exactly like they have free press in the North... But looking like a cartoon Villain regime when you probably could have used minimal force to detain an old dude isn't good.

This happened years ago, and i haven't come across any negative press on this for the South though.

What happened if I'm cross the border line in North Korea
Pow pow
You mean from South Korea? You can’t do that. The border is heavily militarised by hundreds K of soldiers, countless land mines, iron wires, etc. Even before you reach the border, there’s a civilian limitation line (checkpoint for military personnel only) so even you can’t approach there.
I want people who like North Korea to live in North Korea.
I don't understand why he come back to South Korea.
Exactly
and they think South Korea is the good guy
North is still the bad guy.
This all happened mostly because of the american and the USSR during the cold war, they use Korea for a proxy war and then just left after they are done
all sides are not interested in reunification because as long as two koreas are divided their own interest keep going
@@merearly and the sweet arms sale
Words of truth. Except that the U.S. continue to exert influence on South Korea in covert black operation manners to this very day, still profit from selling weapons to us using this situation. They didn't really 'leave'. But this topic is ideologically stigmatizied in the corrupt media environment, so if I openly speak of this fact I will face heavy criticisms. I will immediately get 'red-flagged' and called a pro-NK or pro-CCP spy even though I am not lol. I'm just someone who is constantly seeking truth. 시진핑 ㄱㅅㄲ
North Korea never was a pawn for the USSR or China after the Korean war. The Soviet Army only entered North Korea after WW2, because the Americans wanted a slice of the cake as a proxy and it worked. No foreign troops in NK since the late 50ies
비참하다
Why is it wrong for someone to advocate re-unification for his country?
The North Koreans want reunification under DPRK leadership. So he is a traitor to South Korea to expose such beliefs

You have to obtain both permits of the two nations.
If you dare to do what you want,this is what happened,of course will gave to other part,pretest for saying something against each other and put petrol on fire.
There's 2 giants involved we know who,there's signs of opening of inter corean relationships, and I hope that one day an historic compromise will be reached for all coreans and they could have destiny's in their own hands.
I hope North and South will united back in future years or soon
Unfortunately it is not possible with the dictator they currently have
Two opposite systems. One is communist and one of the worst places to live on earth on the other is a successfull capitalist nation.
it not impossible. real problem is it's two opposite govt countries. itll be hard to unify them, at least one of them would give in
I dont, it’s vital the United States, Japan, South Korea and Philippines, India and Australia defeat the axis of evil forming in NK and China.
What a brave man.

Bro even 8 years ago it was considered stupid to just straight up walk into north Korea. Reunification cannot be achieved through emotional reasoning because it has been over 70 years now. The only way it could be achieved would be duo to an economical goal. Or by force( I am against this)
Plus if they unified right now, I doubt the republic of Koreans economy would be able to handle it due to the huge economic gap (even present in west vs East Germany)
@@PottedPanda Yes I also believe that. My opinions are highly based of interviews of north and south korean people by the CZcams channel asian boss
I don’t believe in reunification, but I’m not Korean so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter. It’s simply not a good idea. It would be better if NK somehow becomes liberated but reunified? Seems highly unlikely and I assume many people would oppose it
The people deceived that guy's a hero
Yes his a hero I agree. He wants unification an peace
he is arrested because by law you cannot cross without permission and anti communist sentiment is still high because you know the north have weapons pointed at seoul
@@perlasandoval7883 they waited till he crossed to arrest him. so typical of them
@@smithsunleashed Yeah... that's how it works. They can't arrest him in the North because of the agreement surrounding the DMZ.
The North Koreans want reunification under their own rule 😂 of course he is seen as a traitor in South Korea. NK is an enemy nation for them. And the war they started was the most destructive time in history of Korea.
0:19 What an irony 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If he crossed to NK, how was he back in SK?
His intention is to reunify his country, his country which his ancestors once had, he is a brave man who sacrificed himself inefficiently for a cause from the bottom of hie heart, he deserves to be praised by Koreans
Highly impractical.
The economic and social disparity between the two cannot be merged. Will only result in further downfall.
@@AinzWoolGown East & West Germany reunited, why North & South Korea can't?
@@Desertfox18
1. East and west were directly controlled by Russia and USA. So on both sides people felt that they are being ruled by someone else. The German nationalism is one of the hardcore in the world. South Koreans are Okay with their governance. North Korean only know autocracy ruled by a Korean dynasty. Korean nationalism is dead after Japanese independence.
2. The economic and social disparity between east and west Germany was identifiable but rectifiably miniscule. North Korea is poorest of poor and is alien to modern society values and culture.
3. If we unify NK and SK then their will be massive influx of population from north to south for employment, education etc. Given that most of them are not skilled enough to compete with the south it will create a social and economic disaster.
4. Brainwashed NK might still linger who will abstain from naturalising to the modern societal norms. I mean ideally it has to be socialist society to capitalist society, because South is successful.
@@Desertfox18It is clear that the unification of the two Koreas will bring great suffering to individual koreans
The current situation is that for most South Koreans North Koreans are just a nuisance that they wish would go away
uh he was actually praising kim il sung
I want to address those here in the comments who defend Rocket Man. My grandparents lived most of their lives without democracy and freedom. First they lived under Japanese colonial rule, then war, and after that under a dictatorial government until 1987. During most of their lives they never knew freedom, what it means to live in a democratic country. They could not even express their thoughts or political views without being arrested or worse. Today living in a democratic country where basic human values are guaranteed and defended is a great achievement for them. But our generation often takes this for granted. Today there are dictators who threaten what our grandparents created for us. Not only my country, but other neighboring countries are constantly threatened. In North Korea people don't even have the food or the basic necessities of life. They cannot even leave the city where they were born and visit other places in their own country. Many, despite living in a coastal region, have never seen the sea in their entire lives. They are not free to travel and learn about the world and other cultures. They live in a prison without basic human rights and freedom. They are even executed for watching some foreign movie or TV series, human rights do not exist there. I'm not the only one who says that, but thousands of defectors who fled the dictatorship. I really hope a war will never happen and everything will be resolved diplomatically. Although dialoguing with dictators is difficult, they don't care about ordinary people, they only care about themselves. I don't speak English well, so I used a translator. I'm sorry if I made any mistakes

Which country allows another to freely leave to another country without proper application process by relevant athourities???....sometimes we have so much freedom, that its seems nonsense sets in our brain....
@@multistan9582 If SK is so free and glorious, why do they hold NK refugees in 're-education' centres for months to almost a year? To feed them bullshit agenda. The people are the real victims here, first there's NK propaganda in their heads and they think SK will treat them better, then they're fed with SK propaganda.
Take an example:
If SK law is supposed to arrest someone who crossed into NK, what is the headline: "SK activist returned from NK taken in by police according to laws in the SKorean constitution"
Flip sides now:
NK law is supposed to arrest anyone who crosses to SK: "NK Activist arrested under draconian anti-crossing law - likely to be thrown into prison camp".
What's the difference? NK Law also dictates something - so does SK. Why is one 'draconian', 'bloodthirsty' and the other 'as per the law', 'as per due process'
This activist probably also went to a 're-education centre' after this incident (aka 'prison camp'/'gulag', 'labour camp' if it was NK)
Yes, that's true, but I think people would also have this kind of reaction because we often hear that people arrested in the North sometimes suffer heavy sentences and that their human rights might not be respected if they were arrested, so if it happened in the North we'd expect the worst, unlike in the South.
