Yu Song-jin (born 1964 or 1965) is a South Korean engineer detained for four-and-a-half months in 2009 by North Korea.
Detention
A native of Goseong, Gyeongsangnam-do, Yu was employed by Hyundai Asan in the Kaesong Industrial Complex. He was detained in March 2009 after allegedly "slandering the system of the DPRK" and inciting a waitress to defect to South Korea.[2] The imprisonment is thought to be partially responsible for reducing the volume of trade between North Korea and South Korea in recent years.[citation needed] He was freed in August 2009 after 137 days of captivity when Hyundai Group chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun went to the North to negotiate for his release.[3]
