No very odd when you consider how bad the writing is. These two guys must be really bad characters for the South Koreans to quietly and quickly work with the North Koreans to help hunt them down and return them to the North.

Unlike the US, where almost everyone you see on nightly news, on both sides of the microphone are traitors, the South Koreans have a very sophisticated system for rooting out traitors...as they must have that to survive, considering that the Norks would flood them with ‘refugee’ spies otherwise.
My guess is that the 16 killed were ‘enemies of the people’ and were put on the boat with two spies. The plan being to kill the 16 others for ‘credibility’ with the South. But the South probably did some of their checking, and perhaps were able to tell they hadn’t been starving half (or more) of their lives, so that gave them away as government agents.
