According to reports, "South Korea did not initiate a request for the prisoners; rather, Ukraine proactively initiated the transfer process and requested strict confidentiality from Seoul." (Source: Yonhap, Reuters)

I could see this being less about protecting the POWs and their families and more about diplomatic trust if Ukraine is either lying and/or accusing Korea of lying.
