Their daughter did not defect with them but repatriated to North Korea. Jo's wife had been talking to the South Korean media about her desire to go back to the north. Evidently she would prefer to live with her daughter, and regards her circumstances in South Korea as difficult. So Jo's presence in South Korea was already disclosed.

I think most Korean observers felt that Jo would end up in South Korea anyway.
