Travis King, a 23-year-old U.S. soldier, illegally entered North Korea in July and will be expelled from the country. King confessed to entering the country due to his disillusionment with the inhumane treatment and racial discrimination he experienced in the army. North Korea's statement did not specify when King would be expelled, but the incident has raised questions about the security of the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea and sparked a debate about the treatment of U.S. soldiers.
