Tweet of the Day: JSA Tours Suspended Due to Rising COVID Infections

GIKorea | December 22, 2020

Unfortunately, based on continuing high numbers of #COVID cases in the country, UNC has suspended all non-essential activities in the #JSA, including tours. This is needed to protect the ROK public & our #DMZ personnel. We look forward to resuming tours once COVID cases subside. pic.twitter.com/dApzFJo3fE

A Gymnast Allegedly Vaulted Over DMZ Fence to Escape North Korea

GIKorea | November 26, 2020

If true this would go down as a unique defection:

In the annals of great escapes, vaulting the barbed wire, heavily-surveilled fence that separates the mined no-man’s land between North and South Korea would surely feature strongly.
According to the South Korean media this week, a defector who evaded security in one of the most dangerous border crossings of the world on November 3 was a former gymnast who managed to swing himself over the imposing barricades, reportedly without triggering key sensors.
The authorities vowed to investigate why high-tech security systems did not work. “We will look into why the sensors did not ring and make sure they operate properly,” an official told Yonhap news agency.
The man, reported to be wearing blue civilian clothes and in his twenties, later surrendered after a manhunt by the South Korean military units who discovered a breach of the fence. He was detained without incident just under a mile south of the fence and has asked for asylum.
