The talk about security guarantee is BS. He will be well-protected by the American host. He is, after all, a prime witness to bolster the American case. That is the problem.
S. Korean gov is afraid that he would rail against N. Korean regime and may even defect to U.S. His comments could also get a big press coverage. He could deal a big blow to the policy of appeasement.

He reportedly faced a purge at the time he left North Korea. However, he says he defected because he wanted to warn of the regime's plan to attack the South. His four books in Korean and his essays on the Internet advocate an end to the North's dictatorship and a reunification of the divided Korean Peninsula. Seems to me the guy is grooming the US and preparing the US for accepting a pro-NorthKorean media coup at the expense of our efforts and SouthKorea's genuine efforts.

I just don't understand why SK is playing pattycake with the North. Meanwhile, the US spends lives and treasure supporting the South...
