The intersection comes amid growing criticism of South Korea’s changing strategy towards the north.
Since taking office on June 11th, South Korea Liberal President Lee Jae Myung has taken steps to ease friction with Pyongyang. According to the Associated Press, he blew up messages to the North and stopped broadcasting of moving speakers to ban balloon launches by activists carrying democratic leaflets.
Critics warn that Seoul’s stance weakens deterrent and sends the wrong message Kim Jong Eun’s administration.

Border incidents between the two South Koreas are also becoming more frequent. In April, 10 North Korean troops temporarily crossed the military demarcation line before retreating after warning shots. Three similar invasions were seen last year, according to the Associated Press.
The incident on Thursday included a man crossing south from North Korea, not a group of soldiers. It is considered increasingly rare for exiles to choose this route. Typical North Korean exiles pass through China instead.
