A North Korean defector has come to seek refuge at the South Korean consulate in Hong Kong, local media reported Wednesday.
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post and other news outlets have said that the defector was presumed to be a member of a North Korean delegation to an academic competition at a local university, which was held about two weeks ago.

Security was seen bolstered around the Korean consulate in the Far East Finance Centre in Harcourt Road, Admiralty.
Neither the South Korean consulate nor the Hong Kong government commented on the matter.
In 2005, a pregnant North Korean woman defected to South Korea with the help of the consulate in Hong Kong.
