This has to be the best drunken story, ever! Drunk beyond belief, wearing only his underwear, a North Korean man in his late 20s floats on a piece of wood only to wake in South Korea. This incident is so bizarre, but you must admit, it is pretty awesome! Read more below.
A profoundly drunk North Korean man floated all the way to South Korea on a piece of wood this week—and he’s been offered South Korean citizenship.
South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported that the man, who appears to be in his 20s, was found hiding in a house on the island of Ganghwa, an hour from Seoul, on Sunday.
Yonhap reports that when the man was taken into police custody, he was only wearing his underwear and appeared to be intoxicated. (I’ve got to say, I’ve never found myself repatriated after a night of drinking—this guy deserves a medal).
“The man said he crossed to the South, holding on to a floating object to waters off the coast of Gyodong Island,” said Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesman Lee Bung-woo to the Yonhap News Agency.
“The floating object is seen as a wooden board that drifted due to the flood in the North.”
South Korea typically does not return North Koreans against their will, but they are free to return to the North if they choose. We’re guessing that this particular drink-loving young gentleman may take the offer to stay.
IS HE BEING WATCHED FLEX OR JUS HATING
