Why would they do something like that?

"It is believed that the victims were abducted to teach the Japanese language and culture at North Korean spy schools.[4] Older victims were also abducted to obtain their persona, but these abductees are believed to have been killed immediately.[citation needed] It is also speculated that Japanese women were abducted to become wives to a group of North Korean terrorists, and that some may have been abducted because they happened to witness North Korean agents in Japan, which may explain Yokota's kidnapping.[6]"
Translation: the gods only know, but clearly it wasn't so that the kidnapees could be fed yummy ice cream and given a free week-long pass to castle in the cloud land, where they would be showered with love and flowers. If you want my opinion, the business about becoming the wives of terrorists is too cinematic to be taken seriously, but I can't discount any of the other theories presented above out of hand. Which should tell you something.
