They were discovered in the East Sea -- known internationally as the Sea of Japan -- in waters around 100 kilometres (60 miles) east of South Korea’s Gangwon province, it said.
The four North Koreans have been sent to a “relevant institution” after being identified by the military and the Coast Guard, he said.
All four North Koreans have expressed their wish to return home, according to Seoul’s Yonhap news agency, which said it was believed they crossed the de facto border accidentally.
South Korea’s military also found another wooden boat carrying two North Koreans in the western Yellow Sea in early March.
A North Korean defected to the South across the same de facto border in the Yellow Sea last year, arriving “on foot” on Gyodong island off the peninsula’s west coast near the border between the Koreas.
Lee said on Wednesday he would seek talks with the North following a deep freeze under Yoon, under whose tenure relations plummeted to their worst level in years.
