동해 북한선박 선원 4명 중 2명 귀순... 2명은 오늘 오전 북으로 귀환

Four North Korean fishermen were rescued last Saturday from the East Sea, and two of them say they want to defect to the South.
Seoul's unification ministry says... the other two were sent back to the North this morning through the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjeom.
The government says it notified Pyeongyang of the fact through the joint liaison office Monday morning, and the North responded later in the day, though how it responded is not known.
The two North Koreans made it clear that they wish to stay in the South... and so they'll go through the usual defection procedures, including a re-education process.
