If you are talking about the post-Korean War
defectors, here is a list of them off of the DoD
website:

Specialist Jerry Wayne Parish defected in December of
1963. Hometown, Morganfield, Kentucky. 

Sergeant Charles Jenkins defected January of '65. 

Private Larry Allen Abshier defected May of '62. 

Private First Class James Dreznock defected August
'62. 

Private First Class Chung, June '79. 

Private First Class White, August of '82. 

I believe the first four are still alive.  PFC White
drowned in the mid-eighties.  One of the 60's era
defectors was seen in the past few years in a north
Korean movie about the Korean War.  This caused some
confusion and led some people to think that he was a
Korean War vet.  The US has asked the nK's several
times for permission to interview these guys, but has
been denied each time.
