Back in the country where they were detained as prisoners of war in the 1950s, two former soldiers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea now find little apparent objection or hostility, at least superficially.
They have even been welcomed by veterans who fought for the South, but it's also a trip that brings back bitter memories of the war and puts them on the defensive again.
They are among the 76 DPRK POWs held in the Republic of Korea who opted to resettle abroad at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
