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.
