They did. That's why the Berlin wall was built between east and west Germany.

Because communists aren't cowards who run away from their problems

Why aren't South Koreans fleeing the border to North Korea?

east germany wasn't THAT bad

I suppose it's hard to run away from your problems if you're lying face-down in a frozen trench somewhere in Siberia

why would someone shoot a man before throwing him into Siberia?

why donĀ“t americans just swim to Cuba for free healthcare

Some did.

Just Google "shot for trying to get to North Korea" or similar.

Not exactly a South Korean, but rather a communist Spaniard that went so butthurt after the fall of the Berlin wall that run into North Korea looking for "another communist paradise" and no only he found it, he even became a diplomatic representative and got North Korean citizenship along a comfy position within the elite.

So yes, there is some people that actually go into these places willingly and is not for the worst, but I would say that's mostly luck and a lot of propaganda telling you how great your life would be in the best Korea.

The waters are shark-infested.

Yeah, that's what's stopping us. Sharks.

Ewe ewe ewe ewe

FuGgG eVeryBody knows walls dOnt worK!!!!!

He's like the leader of the "ministry of love" of NK, it's ridiculous.

Unless by problems you mean reality

...

Some did (though admittedly not as much as the other way around). Before the Berlin Wall was built you could just take a tram or trolley to the other side.
