U.S. Ambassador Attacked in South Korea

I found an article online titled "South Korea Probing US Envoy Attacker's Visits to North," by Channel News Asia. In this article it talks about an attack on the US Ambassador to Seoul being attack by a Korean man. I find this article interesting because according to our readings people who live in monsoon Asia the residents to not commit crimes because it is shameful for the family, but this guy is an exemption. The U.S. Ambassador is named Mark Lippert who was attacked and needed 80 stitches on his face. The attacker says that he wanted to protest US and South Korean military exercise and decided the best way of protesting this is to cut the U.S. Ambassadors face with a knife. According to the news reporter the attacker by the name of Kim Ki-Jong has gone to North Korea seven times from 1999 through 2001. This is interesting because it is impossible for people to cross over I remember that it is impossible to cross between the borders because of heavily military presence from both sides. North Korea called the action the knife of freedom not claiming responsibility for the action committed by Kim Ki-Jong.
