He seemed happy enough.

Maybe he is secretly in love with Kim Jong-un's sister.

I've heard that she's actually worse than her brother, the North Korean version of Joseph Goebbels.

Private 2nd Class (PV2) King's mother Claudine Gates told ABC News she could not imagine her son doing such a thing. He "had to be out of his mind", she said.

Ms Gates said she had last heard from the US soldier "a few days ago", when he told her he would soon be returning to Fort Bliss, his army base in Texas.

PV2 King was reportedly investigated for assault in South Korea in September 2022. According to local media, he was suspected of punching a Korean national in a nightclub in Seoul.

He was fined 5m won (£,3,000; $3,950) for "repeatedly kicking" the back door of a police car and screamed "foul language" at the officers trying to apprehend him.

Local reports quoting officials said he was released on 10 July after serving two months in jail on assault charges, but did not elaborate.

After his release, he was placed under military observation for about a week in South Korea.

He was escorted to the airport in Incheon, near Seoul, for a flight back to the United States, where he was to face disciplinary action.

But he did not board the plane. The Korea Times, quoting an airport official, said he arrived at the boarding gate alone as military police officers were not allowed to accompany him all the way to the plane.

At the gate, he reportedly approached an American Airlines official and claimed his passport had gone missing. An airline employee then escorted him out of the departures area.

After parting ways with his escort, he is reported to have left the terminal to embark on a tour of the Demilitarised Zone, or DMZ, between North and South Korea, where foreigners can visit via tour companies.

It is not clear how PV2 King managed to get on one of these tours, as it typically takes between three days and a week for an individual to be authorised, and the trips are usually closely monitored.

An eyewitness on the same border tour described hearing the soldier laughing loudly before making a run across the border.

An U.S. official to CNN confirmed that Private Travis King, the U.S. soldier who darted into North Korea, was hurried into a van and driven away by North Korean guards.

It is not being ruled out that North Korea had prior knowledge of his intention to cross the border.

If it was arranged beforehand by the North Koreans and he was promised monetary compensation in exchange for military secrets or something, something tells me they didn't get their money's worth, and in a week they'll be tossing him out of that same white van at the border that scooped him up, with a sign around his neck that says, "Big empty head! No more want him, we give back! Big buyer's remorse!"

Yeah, she puts the "cute" in "execute the whole village".

North Korea has claimed that an American soldier who bolted across the heavily armed border from the South wants to seek refuge from “inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination” in the US military.

In its first public acknowledgment that Private 2nd class Travis King entered the North while on a tour of a Korean border village on 18 July, the regime said the 23-year-old had voiced “disillusionment” with US society.

“During the investigation, Travis King confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK as he harboured ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the US army,” the state-run news agency KCNA said on Wednesday, using the initials of North Korea’s official name.

“He also expressed his willingness to seek refugee in the DPRK or a third country, saying that he was disillusioned at the unequal American society.”

KCNA said King was being “kept under control” by soldiers from the North’s Korean People’s Army.

While King’s comments could not be independently verified, his detention in North Korea – the first involving an American for nearly five years – is a propaganda coup for the regime.

KCNA, the official voice of the North Korean dictatorship, releases statements to support its contention that that the US is a depraved adversary bent on invading the North.

“King’s crossing into North Korea provided the Kim regime an opportunity in several ways, the first of which is, of course, the potential for negotiations with the US over King’s release,” said Soo Kim, an expert with Virginia-based consultancy LMI and a former CIA analyst.

“It’s also an opportunity for the regime propaganda to do its thing – to spin the situation in such a way as to criticise the US and express Pyongyang’s deep-rooted hostility towards Washington.”

The Pentagon on Tuesday said it could not verify King’s alleged comments.

“We remain focused on his safe return,” a Pentagon spokesperson said. “The department’s priority is to bring Private King home, and that we are working through all available channels to achieve that outcome.”

North Korea said its investigation into King would continue.

Analysts believe North Korea could try to exploit King’s case to win concessions from the US, such as tying his release to the US cutting back its military activities with South Korea.
