Robert Park, the missionary that walked into North Korea with a message for Kim Jong Il, was released by North Korean authorities and arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday night. Robert Park did not speak to the media, but did allow the press to take pictures of him in the car, that he and his parents eventually rode off in.
According to older brother Paul Park, Robert doesn’t seem to be in any sort of harm, and is in good condition.
The elder Park couldn’t comment on the statements made by the North Korean government. According to the North Korean news agency, Robert was released because he expressed regret and admitted he was wrong about the country. Paul Park, also couldn’t say whether his brother accomplished what he set out to do.
“I didn’t talk about any of the specifics, as to what his goals were, but he’s in high spirits, and he’s really excited to be home,” says Park.
