This marked the first case in thirteen years that a spy directly dispatched from Pyongyang was apprehended in South Korea.
The arrested man is suspected of taking direct orders from North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau, Pyongyang's headquarters for overseas espionage activities.
The alleged spy is known to have first entered South Korean territory several years ago, before he went to another country to fake his nationality and returned last year.
The NIS and NPA are currently operating a joint investigation to find out the man's reason of return and actitivies, before handing over the case to prosecution, according to officials.
