Seoul's spy agency says North Korean soldiers captured in Ukraine haven't shown desire to defect
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he’s willing to hand over the soldiers to North Korea, if Kim Jong Un arranges for an exchange with Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia.

Ok this is super uncomfortable for me to ask, but how would a Korean spy work in Ukraine?
I'm not completely sure, but I'm confident enough to state that a Korean spy might stand out
Well, this is just information published by the SK Spy Agency. It doesn't necessarily mean they have spies in Ukraine. They might have spies in other countries that have information on Ukraine. Or they might've just gotten this information through one or multiple of their allies. Besides that, spies don't have to necessarily be of the ethnicity of the country they're spying for. There are many cases of natives spying on their own countries for foreign powers in exchange for money or out of ideological reasons.
Spies working for a country do not have to look like the stereotypical person from that country. The spy could even be "on loan" from some other country friendly to SK.
This would be sk officers from their CIA stationed with Ukraine military to help deal with nk. They're not there secretly
