The North Korean soldier who defected from the Hermit Kingdom has more than freedom to look forward to – a lifetime supply of Choco Pies.

Oh Chong Song, 25, is still recovering from gunshot wounds and a variety of ailments – including tuberculosis, hepatitis B and parasitic worms – after his daring escape on Nov. 13.

When he awoke from surgery at Ajou University Hospital last month, he casually mentioned he had a craving for the popular South Korean snack, which consists of chocolate, a graham cracker crust and marshmallow filling.

Oh said some North Koreans got the treat from workers at the now-closed Gaeseong Industrial Complex, across the demilitarized zone, where South Korean companies manufactured their products using North Korean labor, the Korea Times reported.

When word got out about his sweet tooth, Choco Pie producer Orion Confectionery sent Oh 100 boxes of the snack and offered to provide the treats to him free for life, paper reported.

“We sent the Choco Pies as a welcoming present to Oh, who came to Korea after going through hardship. It was not an act for publicity,” an Orion spokesman told the Korea Herald.

“We heard the soldier has not recovered enough yet to eat food. In a sense, we sent Choco Pie boxes to the employees in the hospital,” the official said.

The term “choco pie” originated in the US, but the sugary snack is also known as “choco pie” in places like Japan and South Korea.

Operations at the Gaeseong complex were suspended in February 2016, according to the BBC, but North Koreans had already grown fond of Choco Pies.

“Because of recent crackdowns Choco Pies from the ‘neighborhood below’ [South Korea] are hard to come by,” a Pyongyang-based source said in 2014, according to the Guardian of the UK.

“Since the order came down demanding that they restrict the sale of South Korean goods, you can only find Chinese substitutes and the local version,” the source added.

“In markets in Pyongyang you can see plenty of our Choco Pies produced locally at Yongseong Foodstuffs Factory, but they’re small and don’t taste good at all so not many people want them.”
