It is known that a wetsuit and flippers were found on the coast of Goseong, Gangwon Province, where a North Korean man traveled to South Korea.



Military officials are believed to have traveled to South Korea through the sea wearing wetsuits and flippers, and it is reported that they are inquiring about their job in North Korea, including whether or not a soldier.



Multiple government sources said today (17th) "I know that wetsuits and flippers were found on the coast of Goseong area yesterday." "We are investigating."



The military kept in mind the possibility that a North Korean man would have escaped by sea, but the possibility is weighed down by the discovery of wetsuits and flippers on the shore.



It is known that even though wearing a wetsuit, traveling to the cold sea in the middle of winter is usually difficult with physical strength, so the military and intelligence authorities have been known to focus on identifying the man.



This man was passed down in his early twenties.



In November of last year, a North Korean man who expressed his intention to defect beyond the forefront of the fence was also found to have easily crossed the fence with the same movement as a'machine gymnast'.

Earlier, a North Korean man was caught on a checkpoint closed circuit (CC) TV while traveling south from the East Sea Civil Control Line at around 4:20 am yesterday.



The military deployed operational forces and secured a recruit for this man at around 7:20 am.



This man is known to have expressed his intention to defect during the investigation.



The Joint Warfare Posture Inspection Office is conducting an on-site investigation in conjunction with the Ground Operations Command to see if there was any problem with the warfare posture of the unit.



The unit in which this incident took place was the place where a North Korean man's defection of iron fence last November and a so-called “knock defection” in October 2012 when a North Korean soldier knocked on the door of a military post to indicate his intention to defect.
