Tens of thousands of South Korean soldiers were captured by North Korean and Chinese forces during the Korean War (1950–1953) but were not returned during the prisoner exchanges under the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. Most are presumed dead, but the South Korean government estimated in 2007 that some 560 South Korean prisoners of war (POWs) still survived in North Korea. The issue of unaccounted South Korean POWs from the Korean War has been in dispute since the 1953 armistice. North Korea continues to deny that it holds these South Korean POWs. Interest in the issue has been renewed since 1994, when Cho Chang-ho, a former South Korean soldier presumed to have been killed in the war, escaped from North Korea. As of 2008, 79 former South Korean soldiers had escaped from North Korea.

  • 6.25 전쟁의 대한민국 국군 포로(國軍捕虜)는 한국 전쟁 기간 동안 전투 중 조선인민군과 중국인민지원군에 생포되거나 항복한 한국군 포로를 말한다. 1953년 휴전협정 체결시 유엔사령부가 발표한 자료에 따르면 전쟁 중 포로로 붙잡히거나 실종된 한국군을 8만2,000여명으로 추산했다. 조선민주주의인민공화국은 최종적으로 유엔군 5100여명과 한국군 8800여명만을 돌려보냈다. 나머지는 모두 자유의사에 따라 인민군에 재입대하거나 북에 전향했고 일부는 포로수용소에서 숨졌다는 핑계를대며 송환하지 않았다. (ko)
