North Korea's Female Spy Caught

Prosecutors indicted a 34-year-old North Korean female defector Wednesday on charges of spying for the communist nation.

The woman, identified as Won Jeong-hwa, allegedly relayed military secrets she obtained from Army officers with whom she was having sexual relations over the past five years to the North.

Didn't this happen in the 80's in America? C'mon people! Study the playbook!
Quote:

She is the first female spy to be arrested since Lee Sun-sil, a key figure in North Korea's Communist Party, was apprehended on espionage charges in 1992, and the first defector to violate the National Security Law.

Prosecutor Kim Kyeong-su said this was also the first case of spying uncovered since the two Koreas held a historic summit in 2000.

If she is convicted, the case would confirm concerns over infiltration by agents posing as refugees.

Well, duh. This paper is very good at stating the obvious.
Quote:
According to prosecutors, Won confessed that she was a trained North Korean spy.

Did she confess willingly or did prosecutors spank the truth out of her? If so, I wanna see videotape.
Quote:
Originally, the suspect fled the North after stealing tons of zinc, which is a capital crime there. Won returned to the North in 1998 after hiding in northeastern China for years and later became a spy for North Korea's National Security Agency, they said.

Her mission ― based in China ― was to kidnap defectors there for repatriation.

She later pretended to be an ethnic Korean Chinese woman and married a South Korean factory worker before coming to the South in 2001.

After her arrival, she reported herself as a North Korean defector and worked as a lecturer on anti-communism at military camps nationwide.

According to investigators, she maintained romantic relations with three to four officers and even shared an apartment with an Army First Lieutenant Hwang. The 27-year-old Hwang reportedly suspected that his partner was a spy, but ignored the fact and handed her classified military information.

Ah, whatta moron. I guess he failed OPSEC as well as COMMON FUCKING SENSE class. If it looks like a spy, talks like a spy, walks like a spy, DON'T GIVE THE SPY YOUR SECRETS!
And Koreans wonder why the US sticks around...
Quote:
Won's main mission here included establishing the whereabouts of North Korean defectors such as the former secretary of the North Korean Workers' Party Hwang Jang-yop, a key architect of Pyongyang's Juche (self-reliance) theory and the highest-ranking defector in the South in 1997. However, investigators said she failed.

The joint investigation team of the prosecution, police, Military Intelligence Agency and the National Intelligence Service said Won was even ordered to poison some South Korean agents but also failed.

So she was a lousy spy as well. But hey, she was good in the sack. Shades of Austin Powers?
Quote:
The prosecution also detained Hwang for collaborating with her, and a 63-year-old man named Kim, who relayed military secrets Won obtained to the North. Kim is said to be her stepfather and a relative of North Korea's titular leader Kim Young-nam.

Gee, a relative of Young-nam here? Well perhaps he should have been under closer surveillance, right? WRONG.
IF KJII's got close relatives here, I'm sure the ROKs have them under watchful eyes. And a pig just flew by.
Quote:
Authorities said Won received operational funds from Kim, who went to China in 1999 and came to Seoul as a defector in late 2006 through Cambodia.

Won had visited China 14 times over the past five years.

Investigators said Won had been under deep stress after adjusting to life in the South and took tranquillizers on a regular basis out of concern that a North Korean agent might kill her.

So she was a lousy spy working for a lousy country. She should've quit while she was ahead and sold the story to Hallmark or Samseung Books.
Quote:
Prosecutors indicated that their investigation could expand to other North Koreans here as they believe more spies might have entered the South as defectors.

Defense Minister Lee Sang-hee expressed ``deep regret'' over the incident involving military officers and apologized to the people. He said the ministry would investigate the case further, and pledged to take measures to prevent a recurrence.
``The ministry will take additional security measures on personnel and facility management, communications, computer systems and confidential military documents,'' Lee added.

Yeah whatever Minister Lee; like we really expect any meaningful change.

So this Nork spy had the super-koochie, the shit that you can't handle and can't escape from, huh? Is that why the Lieutenant kept coming back with more documents?

Well, she's been caught so there's no use to cry over milk that's already been spilled. Instead of executing her, I suggest that the Korean authorities punish her by making her teach televised sex lessons so the locals can acquire her skills. Her 'partner' for these lessons should be...drumroll please...LEXINGTON STEELE. I think that would further the national interest better than a prison term. What do you think?

Spies, who needs Chinese spies?

Haven't you heard? China is South Korea's ally.

It's sleeping with or befriending Americans that is considered treasonous in Korea. Everyone knows America is Korea's enemy, out to poison poor little Korean school children with prion laden American beef. Just look at how they skewered Lee Myung-bak after he showed the slightest fairness toward the United States.

China is going to buy Korea. And if it can't buy all the politicians in power, it will provide behind the scenes support for their destruction. The result will be favorable import rules for Chinese manufactured goods, unfavorable rules for Western goods, and a declining number of goods actually made in Korea. What it couldn't achieve in 1950 through war, it will accomplish through economic and political warfare.

Korea, China to Expand Military Exchanges

By Na Jeong-ju
Staff Reporter

South Korea and China agreed Monday to expand their military exchanges and set up strategic talks between senior diplomats as part of efforts to strengthen their partnership on the international stage.

``Both countries share the goal of fostering stronger ties in the political, economic and cultural sectors,'' said a joint statement issued at the end of a summit between President Lee Myung-bak and Chinese President Hu Jintao at Cheong Wa Dae.

The blueprint is in line with the agreement the two leaders signed in May in Beijing to upgrade Seoul-Beijing relations to a ``strategic cooperative partnership,'' which calls for closer cooperation not only in the economic area, but also in diplomacy, the military and cultural sectors.

In May last year, military commanders of the two countries agreed to begin military exchanges, and three months later, their navies and air forces agreed to set up hotlines to help prevent inter-Korean military conflicts and to help fishing boats in the West Sea.

The agreement however had failed to see any progress.

``The summit will provide a crucial momentum for the stalled military talks between Seoul and Beijing. Working-level officials will soon meet to discuss the establishment of the hotlines,'' a Cheong Wa Dae spokesman said.

The two neighbors also agreed to make joint efforts to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons and programs within the framework of the six-party negotiations.

The Chinese leader arrived in Seoul for a two-day visit, and after the summit participated in a welcoming party Lee hosted at Cheong Wa Dae.

Hu will attend a luncheon with the heads of economic organizations and chief executives of South Korean conglomerates today. He will also meet with Korean leaders, including Prime Minister Han Seung-soo.

It is Hu's second visit to Seoul since becoming Chinese president in 2003, and his third summit with President Lee in three months. Lee made a four-day visit to China in May to meet Hu and other Chinese leaders. Lee was also invited to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics early this month and met briefly with him.

``Hu came to Seoul only one day after the Olympics ended, which shows how importantly he thinks of South Korea,'' the presidential spokesman said.

Beijing's willingness to strengthen military and diplomatic relations shows the country is seeking to play a constructive role for peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia, according to South Korean officials.

China, host of the six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program, is expected to speed up the process of denuclearizing the North through multilateral negotiations. The six nations are South and North Korea, the United States, China, Japan and Russia.

China, the North's closest ally, has been urged by the United States to play a larger role in resolving the nuclear issue. Diplomats here say China's roles will depend on the ongoing negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.

``North Korea and the United States have had difficulty in finding common ground over how to verify the nuclear program. China's engagement in their talks may provide a breakthrough to the stalled negotiations,'' a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.

Seoul also discussed ways to boost economic ties with Beijing, its largest trade partner since 2002. Both countries are seeking to conduct feasibility studies for a free trade agreement.

Why obscure a wedding photo?

Her real face is still hidden by a half inch of makeup.

My F-in-law, who is as hard core 박정희 style as they come was chirping when 김영삼 was president about "there are lots of collaborators and 5th columnists in S. Korea".

During 김대중 and 노무현 he was always telling me that there are lots of spies

Turns out, the old guy was right.

Before all you denial dingleberries get all over my case, scope out what occured in Germany when the Statsi files were made public.


쉬리(1999) "조국 통일 만세"
or

Lev Davidovich Trotsky (at some point before taking the ice pick to the dome) "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you"

Also, there is no such word as North Korea. It.....should be called 以北五道

South Koreans do not consider North Koreans to be their enemy. They consider the US and Japan their enemy. Ask any SK if they are upset or outraged over this incident, most simply don't even care.

This is just a thought, but with so much of this taking place in the country, is it any wonder that there is so much anti-foreigner sentiment taking place? I don't want to label it as any specific country out of respect for all foreigners, but it is obvious that the events taking place in this country are calculated and organized at a much higher level than simply a bunch of working class "heroes" going out to protest any particular issue.

The government does its part to make it look as if there is a crackdown taking place, but unless the tide is turned in a big way this type of sabotage is going to escalate even further. I am not an alarmist, but it really pains me to see the honest people of this country stand by while the communist supporters go free pulling this crap at will. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. It took only a few short generations for the general public to forget all that was done to achieve freedom for this country. It is a shame that losers who support the ways of North Korea are given such freedoms.

Simple solution: if you don't like your freedom down here in South Korea then defect to the North. I'm sure there is a work platoon that would love to have some extra time for rest while you take up the slack building their war machine.

Why would your sexual partner need classified information? Wouldn't that be suspicious enough?

Wedding photo? Ah...that explains it. I was wondering how someone from North Korea had gotten involved in the Goth subculture.

I think you're on the money.

And the Korean public (at least the hundreds of thousands of protester earlier this summer) were played like fools.
