During his protests in front of government buildings, Mr. Kwon holds a sign that says: “I am a citizen of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. I want to go home.” Some accuse him of being foolhardy. But he remains undeterred.
He said he was not afraid of being punished in the North for fleeing, although he added that he expected to be sent for re-education for a period and that this was a price he was prepared to pay. He said he was proud of the North’s nuclear weapons. He would not accept any criticism of North Korea, and its human rights abuses, and vowed to “stay loyal to the end.”



But his conviction was clear when he emphasized that while South Korea was economically better off, he preferred a simpler life in his birth country.
“In the North, I may not be rich, but I would better understand people around me and wouldn’t be treated like dirt as I have been in the South,” he said.

Transparent:

"Ich bin ein Bürger der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Korea.

Ich will nachhause gehen
