    I could be wrong, but from what I've heard this happens quite often, defectors from the DPRK don't have a lot of job prospects in ROK (other than shilling) so they return to DPRK.

        They'll shoot you if you try to cross back, they'll deny you passports and travel rights out of country, they will do anything and everything to keep north korean citizens trapped in the south.
