“I suspect that soju was somehow involved. It is in most things Korean.”

that seems the most likely answer. I hear that South Korean soldiers are held accountable for every bullet in their cartridge. (I assume this is normal in armies, but I don’t know) I wonder what is happening to the North Korean soldier who fired. Maybe he will be given a medal if he answered correctly, i.e. “I heard the running dogs scream out profanities against our General!” Or “I saw a traitor trying to cross to the southern side!”

But if soju was involved… what happy news it would be…

doesn’t it just seem like typical north korean modus operandi to make some peaceful gesture at the negotiating table, and have their underlings put a couple rounds in the nearest ship/people/dmz a few weeks later just to keep everyone on the edge?

[...] OK, I guess it’s not such a big deal. The Marmot’s Hole reports it’s “nothing to worry about.” Not that I was, but it’s nice to know. [...]

10 for 10 is their version of the events, the North Korean is probably different, and the truth is anyone’s guess.
