I think there’s a misunderstanding here. SK considers all North Koreans as their citizens, which is why they will gladly take anyone who has fled across the border. There could be a number of legitimate reasons why they want to keep this transfer secret.
they will gladly take anyone who has fled across the border
“Gladly” lol
North Korean detectors are taken reluctantly and treated rather poorly. Most live in abject poverty. Certainly better than a life in the North, but hardly the loving welcome of a long lost citizen

Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul is an excellent documentary on the treatment of most defectors from the DPRK in the ROK.
