So I guess he was suicidal?? Either that or he saw the interview and thought maybe Kim would score him some NK models lmaoo
- From the limited information it’s kinda sounding like a mental health issue.
  
  Yeah most likely, like those people that lived in Canada or Sweden and enrolled in the middle east to fight "with" ISIS
  
  Turns out it was just all a scam and they were taken hostage or used as sex slaves and/or cannon fodder
- He's like "I wanna see that room where 12 dudes pretend to use computers."
Whatever he was thinking, he’s not going enjoy getting tortured.
There's no mystery what happens if you cross, so I'm guessing he got what he wanted
- Or the voices in his head said they wanted. This doesn't seem like the actions of a mentally well person.
What a dumbass. I wonder what his incorrect perception was?
Crazy. No way the North Koreans ever give this guy back, right?
- Probably he will be a token on future negotiations.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
