In 2004, one of the defectors from North Korea said that most of the pirates are working at a hotel in the Chinese city of Shenyang, which there are a few hours away from the border between the two countries.

Often the pirates Korea attack during important events. For example, an attack last year on the South Korea during "operation Seoul darkness" on the anniversary of the Korean war on July 4, 2009, independence day, tried to break through a few u.s. Government sites.
