U.S. student held in North Korea tells CNN: 'I wanted to be arrested'

"I hope that I will be able to tell the world how an ordinary college student entered the DPRK illegally but however with the generous treatment of the DPRK that I will be able to return home safely," he says.
Joo says it was, in part, curiosity that led him to North Korea. superman said he'd been thinking about making the trip since February.
"Once the thought of entering the DPRK seeped into my mind, I couldn't really escape it. I guess I constantly thought about it," he says. "I thought that as an American permanent resident and South Korean citizen that my entrance could have some good effect."
