Travis King, a U.S. soldier, has been confirmed to be in North Korean territory. The state-owned Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has revealed the reasoning behind why he crossed the heavily-restricted North Korean border. According to KCNA's official investigation, King was driven by "ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army." KCNA also stated that King was "disillusioned" by the status of inequality in America and was looking to take refuge in North Korea or another country.
BLACK ENTERPRISE reported that King had recently been released from prison in South Korea and was being escorted to Incheon International Airport outside Seoul. Instead of going to his gate, he was seen "running what looked like full gas toward the North Korean side." Since the border is highly off-limits, the tourists assumed King's actions were a prank.
King is the first known American to be detained in North Korea since 2018, though several U.S. soldiers have crossed over into the country since the end of the Korean War in 1958. North Korea has often described America as a country of low moral standards and unchecked crime, with one of North Korea's top foreign delegates recently calling America an "anti-people empire of evils."
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had described King's crossing into North Korea as done "willfully and without authorization." However, King's family is not accepting this story. After the incident, King's sister Jaqueda Gates said that her family had not received any information on her brother's whereabouts, leaving the family wondering if there is more to the story.
