South Korean media are reporting on what is believed to be the first case of a South Korean national joining the terrorist group ISIS.

据韩国媒体报道，该国出现了首例疑似加入伊斯兰国（ISIS）的公民。

According to the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which released the news on January 18, a South Korean teenager identified by the surname Kim flew to Turkey earlier in the month. He allegedly told his parents he was making the trip to meet with a Turkish pen pal. The two are believed to have traveled to the Turkish city of Kilis, which borders Syria.

据韩国外交部1月18日发布消息称，一位姓金的韩国男子本月初飞往了土耳其。据说他离开之前曾对父母称此番土耳其之旅是去见土耳其网友。而他的父母据称现在正前往土耳其靠近叙利亚的边境城市基利斯。

Korean media report that Kim went missing on Jan. 12. Turkish authorities later discovered the 18-year-old’s computer, which they say contains evidence of his desire to join ISIS.

据韩媒报道，18岁的金某于1月12日失踪。土耳其随后发现了金某的电脑，电脑里面的内容证明了他要加入伊斯兰国的想法。

Kim used the ID “sunni mujahideen” for a Twitter account he opened in 2013. It was there that he first declared his intent to join the group, Turkish authorities say, adding there were questions in English and Arabic on his feed about how to go about doing that.

金某在2013年曾以“sunni mujahideen”的用户名创建了一个推特账号。据土耳其称，金某在推特上首次表明了想要加入伊斯兰国的想法，并且用英文和阿拉伯文发表了询问关于如何加入伊斯兰国的推文。

Authorities say he made use of an encrypted online messaging service called Surespot to communicate with ISIS, and that he had several online conversations with someone in Turkey.

据称，他通过一种加密的名为“Surespot”网络通讯工具与伊斯兰国取得联系，并与一名在土耳其的人有过几次网络对话。

South Koreans have reacted with both shock and sympathy to the news.

韩国民众对金某的行为感到既震惊又同情。

One comment on the popular portal Nate blamed the ubiquity of the Internet in South Korea, one of the world’s most wired countries. “I think what he knows is not the real society, only an on-line society. So that’s why I feel sorry for him.”

在韩国知名网站Nate上一名网民发表言论，指责是世界上最奇葩的国家之一，到哪里都能看到网络的身影。他说：“我认为这名男子了解的并不是真实世界，而是一个网络世界而已。因此我为他感到遗憾。”

Another wrote, “If someone was taken hostage by accident, our government should protect them. But in this case, Kim walked there by himself and with an intention to join ISIS, so our government does not have to protect him.”

另一名网民则写道：“如果有人被绑架作人质，那么政府应该保护他们。但现在金某想加入伊斯兰国并主动前往那里，那么我们的政府不一定得保护他们。”

There is also concern that Kim may have given ISIS a means of blackmailing Seoul. His actions come as two captured Japanese nationals currently face possible execution by ISIS unless Japan pays a $200 million dollar ransom.

有舆论担心伊斯兰国可能通过金某来敲诈韩国，因为最近伊斯兰国绑架了并扬言要斩杀两名日本记者，除非日本交付2亿美元赎金。

According to CNN, a man who was once captured by ISIS claimed the group is actively recruiting young men from all around the world. "There are many nationalities. From Norway, from America, Canada, Somalia, Korea, China, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon and other European countries like Germany and France," he said.

据CNN报道，一名曾被伊斯兰国俘获的男子称“伊斯兰国正向全世界包括挪威、美国、加拿大、索马里、韩国、中国、土库曼斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦、埃及、利比亚、黎巴嫩、以及德国和法国等欧洲国家的年轻男性招兵买马。”
