Excerpt:

State media said in a short dispatch that someone named Pae Jun Ho entered North Korea on Nov. 3 as a tourist but was detained because of crimes. The North said the crimes were "proven through evidence" but didn't elaborate. Pyongyang has detained and eventually released several Americans in recent years. Some have been journalists and others Christians accused of religious proselytizing. In 2009, two journalists were detained after crossing into the North from China while on a reporting trip. They were later released. South Korean activists have told local media in Seoul that the detained man is a Korean American and was taken into custody after entering North Korea to guide tourists. He operates a tourism company that specializes in North Korea, the reports said.
