Seoul’s Unification Ministry’s spokesman made the announcement saying
that the individuals have sought political asylum in South Korea. The
official declined to identify which country the group was in before
arriving in Seoul. People working in North Korean-operated restaurants
overseas have previously defected, but this is the first time multiple
workers have escaped from the same restaurant. North Korean defections
are a bitter point of contention between the rival neighbors. Pyongyang
usually accuses Seoul of enticing North Korean citizens to defect,
something Seoul denies.
