Korean intelligence agency) who exposed (political) scandals of Kim Dae-jung government via Internet, and his family reportedly filed for a political asylum on 18th (of May, 2004) at the New Jersey Asylum Office of Dept. of Homeland Security. Such a request for the political asylum by a former intelligence agent is quire rare, which is expected to create a diplomatic row between S. Korea and America.
Mr. Kim has been taking steps for the asylum since last December. In his statement submitted to the (New Jersey) office last March, "Due to my political views, I would be subject to (political)persecution. Therefore, I apply for the asylum."
