[Release](CNN) -- The South Korean coast guard said Saturday it found 21 North Korean defectors adrift on the Yellow Sea this week.
The coast guard found the group Tuesday near the port city of Incheon, South Korea's Yonhap New Agency reported.
The group included men, women and children, according to Yonhap, which said they expressed their desire to defect to the South and are under investigation by intelligence officials.
In August, South Korea returned home four North Korean fishermen, who were rescued from two sinking boats. They were found adrift in waters just south of the western maritime border near the South Korean island of Baengnyeong.
Tensions between the neighbors heightened last year after 50 South Koreans were killed in two separate incidents in the area.
In November, the South accused North Korea of shelling Yeonpyeong Island near the border between the two sides. The incident killed two South Korean marines and two civilians.
North Korea said the shelling was in retaliation for the South's navy firing into Northern waters.
In March 2010, South Korea accused the North of torpedoing and sinking one of its warships, killing 46 sailors.
North Korea has denied attacking the warship Cheonan, though a Seoul-led international investigation found that a North Korean mini-submarine was responsible.[/release]

Good, the more people that get to escape that place the better
Maybe they realized how shitty of a position they were in?
I thought they had been shot and dumped there rather than fleeing.
lol, yellow sea

Maybe, but, Asians are occasionally referred to as yellow people.
Fun fact, Martin Luther King Jr. did this in one of his speeches. Looking for it now :v:

Is this line saying that they were sent back to North Korea?

Oh . . .
This finds we wondering how hard it would be to smuggle families out of North Korea, with the use of South Korean intelligence.

Last thing you want to do when defecting from NK is to get caught
I'd investigate them, but still anyone getting out of that country is good.
