Police have launched a probe into the case of a North Korean celebrity defector who recently appeared in a propaganda video clip for the North, amid suspicions she may have been abducted by the hermit nation. "Authorities are currently investigating the case of the North Korean defector Lim Ji-hyun," Lee Yu-jin, the Ministry of Unification's deputy spokesperson, said Wednesday. She starred in reality show programs including "South Korean Men and North Korean Women" and "Moranbong Club." The reality TV star defected to South Korea in January 2014 after spending three years in China. It is, however, a risky move, as such areas are under heavy surveillance by North Korean agents.
