Dude wrote a poem for the North Korean state media advocating for the unification of Korea under the 'Pyongyang's socialist system'. Considering that the reason for the entire Korean war and the ongoing conflict between North Korea and South Korea is that both claim to be the only legitimate government of all Korea, I can see why they would find this seditious.

I don't know how anyone can defend tossing a person in jail over a poem

Jail is a bit extreme. But he is the proponent of fascist dictatorship and write poems praising it. I don't feel much sympathy for fascists.
