Shin alleged that he and his wife were kidnapped from their native
South Korea in the late 1970s and held for several years in North Korea
to make movies for Kim Jong Il, son of the N. Korean leader. Shin
Sang-ok sought asylum in the United States in 1986 shortly before the
film "Pulgasary" was finished. The couple were granted refuge in the
United States.
