According to investigation, the south Korean Kim Sang Gun residing in Kongdo Town, Ansong City, Kyonggi Province, finding it difficult to live in south Korea, left it and went to a third country. Then he headed to the north for no reason, he said.

He frankly admitted his illegal entry into the DPRK and requested it to let him bring his family in the south so that he might live with them in the DPRK. But an institution concerned of the DPRK persuaded him and decided to send him back to the south.

In this regard, the Central Committee of the Red Cross Society of the DPRK on Friday sent the south Korean Red Cross a notice saying that it would repatriate him to the south via Panmunjom on September 11.
