Today's video is another video from Korea! This time we're heading to the DMZ to see North Korea for ourselves and learn more about the Korean War (aka the "Forgotten War") which never technically ended in 1953 when North Korea and South Korea signed an armistice agreement. Today, this strip of land is the most fortified border in the world and is referred to as the DMZ (de-militarized zone). Ironically, most of the DMZ is incredibly fortified and armed and the tension is real. Join us as we learn about the war, see North Korea with our own eyes, and see the special place that is the DMZ.

We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

당신들은 관강을 하러 오지만 우리는 같은 형제끼리 총으로 무장하고 날 죽이러 오지는 않는지 두려움을 안고 살고 있답니다...나라가 힘이 없다고 이렇게 유린당한 조국이 불상합니다.우리는 어느 나라도 침범한적 없고 이유 없이 다른나라 국민을 죽인적도 없습니다. 우리는 안전한 통일을 해서 북의 형제들과 100년 전에 중국에게 빼았긴 만주도 찾아야 합니다.... 그곳에 우리와 같은 언어 역사 문화을 사용하는 또 다른 형제가 있습니다....중국이 우리가 힘이 없을때 조용히 빼았아간 영토을 찾아야 합니다.. 우리는 친구가 없습니다.. 미국도 진심으로 한국 통일을 바라는지 우리는 모릅니다..?? 일본은 분명하게 통일을 두려워 합니다. 일본의 식민지때 감정을 한국 북한 사람 모두 가슴에 두고 있습니다. 진심어린 사과 또한 없습니다. 중국도 빼았긴 땅을 찾으로 올까봐 통일을 두려워 합니다. 한국의 민주적인 나라을 두려워 해서 국경을 맞대고 싶어 하지 않습니다. 그래도 러시아는 우리의 통일을 진심 바랍니다. 통일이 되어서 러시아와 많은 일을 하고 싶어 합니다. 통일을 하면 러시아와 국경을 맞대게 되는데 한국의 자본으로 러시아 영토을 개발하고 싶어 합니다.. 한국이 안전한 통일을 할수 있고 중국에 있는 영토을 찾을수 있도록 도와 주시고 기원해 주십시요 우리는 아직도 많은 일들을 해야 합니다. 고맙습니다...

[@Mr2Reviews]

Korean-American here. Born and raised in southern California now living in Korea for almost 10 years now. I'm 39 and my dad was born during the Korean War. Crazy to think my parents grew up immediately after the war when Korea was ranked one of the poorest if not thee poorest country at the time. I also learned while I was in college in the early 2000s that my grandmother on my father's side was a comfort woman. That led me to learn more about modern Korean history since I got virtually none in the U.S. public education system. I hope more people all around the world will take interest and learn about Korean history and I hope Korea lives up to its national motto, 홍익인간 (To benefit humanity). Thank you for being beautiful American human beings with an open mind and a compassionate heart toward Korea.

[@sangholee3251]

Hey Chris and Sara, I rarely post comments on the internet, but I was especially touched by what you said at the end of the video. Thank you for being respectful and truly understanding the division and the devastation of Korean separations at the DMZ unlike other vlogers that were taking it not as seriously. I wish you guys visited the panmunjum (판문점) too, but I assume it was closed due to COVID. I hope you guys enjoyed Korea. As a Korean who went abroad and mostly studied in the US, I was always curious of those visiting my country and how they felt. Thank you for sharing your footsteps with us. Amazing videography and editing. Keep up the good work!

[@mhn7700]

I truly appreciate the research and respect you show towards this whole subject and part of Korean history. I haven't seen it to this level in many other vlogs. and thank you for leaving the link to your tour in the info box :)

There are a lot of travel vloggers on KZbin, but the reason I subscribe to your channel and watch your videos religiously is for your deep respect and eagerness to learn about the places you visit and your phenomenal cinematography! Thank you for taking deep dives into every place you go and sharing them with us. I was saddened to hear that your Iceland videos were not more watched because they were absolutely stunning and inspired me to go even more than I already wanted to. Hopefully they will catch on!

Agreed. Love when folks give both detail and respect when covering this sensitive situation and complicated history. Well done!

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you so much! That's a huge compliment and we're glad the respect was conveyed in the video. Thank you for watching! ❤

[@elements77]

The feeling I felt at the War Memorial is the reason why Koreans see the United States as a blood-related ally rather than just an ally. Koreans think that if we lose that war, we will actually be the poorest communist country in the world. If we look deeply into why Koreans like Americans, the greatest emotion that only Korea can have in Asia is 'thank you'. South Korea does not officially recognize North Korea as a country. It is classified as an illegal organization. Despite its overwhelming military power, South Korea does not strongly attack North Korea in response to North Korean provocations (this has become a political issue and is taking tough measures), which is similar to the strange feeling it felt in the DMZ. I can say that a visit to the Demilitarized Zone War Memorial (DMZ) was a very good choice for you and I always recommend it to my foreign friends. Thanks for making a great video :)

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@charlesbrenan6269]

Glad I saw this - I did exactly the same trip in July 22. You had a much clearer day but I saw everything including the flagpoles. Apparently, the town across the border is almost certainly uninhabited and our tour guide told us that there were never any lights at night. It's a very worthwhile trip and I'm glad you went too. I'd forgotten about the soya bean ice-cream but it was quite nice! Many thanks for the vlog! 🇰🇷👍

안녕하세요. 한국 사람입니다. 최대한 쉬운 문장으로 쓰지만, 번역이 잘 될지모르겠습니다. 1953년에 휴전이 된 이후로 70년이 지났습니다. 남과 북으로 헤어진 세대들은 죽어서 사라지고 있습니다. 젊은 세대 일수록 통일을 바라지 않는 사람이 많이보입니다. 그 이유로는, 1.경제 격차가 커서 통일 후 일어날 부작용을 걱정 합니다. 2. 오랜시간 북한과 정치적 대화를 해왔지만, 몇번의 파국으로 북한에 대한 혐오감이 쌓이고 있습니다. 3. 단일민족이라서 통일 해야 한다는 민족주의 성향이 옅어지고 있습니다. 아직 통일은 무조건 해야 한다는 의견이 더 많지만 세월이 갈수록 어떻게 변화 될지 상상하기 어렵습니다.

[@user-gn6cz4qt2p]

sometimes as a Korean people, kind of weird for us that DMZ is one of famous tour attraction for foreign visitors. It is the place where still somethings going on and saddest place for Korean folks...well just wanna let you know how we feel. (sorry about my English if you bother of it)

[@jtheanneofthegreengablesth3816]

영상 잘 만드셨어요. 한국이 다른 어떤 나라보다도 복잡한 역사를 가지고 있어서 이해하기 어려울 수 있지만요.

[@ExtoNov]

Perhaps the DMZ is one of the places where there are more foreigners than Koreans. I rather experienced history through your video. We were like a little kid among strong men. So we asked the countries of the world to help us, and they told us how to fight and how to run the country. Thanks to this, we have achieved rapid economic growth. I think it's a very basic courtesy to show them respect. I used a translator because my English was not very good, but I hope my thoughts were conveyed well.

정말 좋은 영상이네요 한국전쟁에 대해 이야기 해주셔서 정말 감사드립니다 It's a really good video. About the Korean War Thank you so much for telling me. - 한국인이 -

[@y8670]

I actually served in the DMZ for two years, and It was a very special experience. I hope many tourists visit this place and realize the importance of peace.

[@julianpignat9095]

it not a place for tourists,

[@davidkuntze7992]

Been to the DMZ twice 1979 and 1984, while stationed in Korea with the US Army. There is one place you can actually step over the border and get away with it. It’s the building that delegates from both sides meet, which straddles the border.

[@chrisandsara]

Yes, unfortunately they've closed that down since Covid. Hopefully they'll open it up soon!

[@tkim1069]

As a Korean I also didn't noticed the two flags there and their histories of the height! Thanks for doing things appropriately :) Good job, Americans!

[@onid6375]

Hi, what was the name of the tour that you took? I've visited attached link in the description, but they offer several versions of the tour. Also, is there option to buy north korean currency as gift on all tours or just on specific one? Tnx

[@jinu7842]

Sad to share such a fact with foriegners. Yet, thanks for making this video in a generous manner. However, I still love you van conversion clips! hah

[@jinu7842]

Considering the population of the US in the 1950 was 150mil and sent troops of 1.8mil, that comes out to be the half of troops for the whole korean army in ratio for population of Korea as of 2022. This is the reason why the US and korea is called "blood alliance". Let's go together!

[@FlavorofMind]

@@jinu7842 it is an interesting stat indeed, and it shows the commitment from the US. They did a nice job on this video!

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you for watching!

[@user-ek9du8ve2e]

I'm a South Korean. Thank you for sympathizing with the pain of division and taking it seriously And I want to say thank you to your grandfather for fighting with me during the Korean War Thank you so much 고마워요🥲🫡🫡

[@user-mr7eh7tq4k]

I am honored that our country has been living well so far. There were many other disasters besides the war from 1950 to 1953, and I admire my country for surviving them.

[@user-mr7eh7tq4k]

[@JOTBOBB]

감사합니다 !

[@bejaminmaston1347]

Fun fact, the Korean War is the longest ongoing war, there was a ceasefire never a peace treaty so technically its still going on

[@EmperorSheevPalpatine]

Yes yes we know

[@BrianHSC]

It is actually tragic that they call Korean War the Forgotten War. You look at South Korea today and it is one war that actually made a profound difference. South Korea is prosperous today because of the soldiers who gave their lives. Koreans never forgot and will never forget.

[@carpenoctem775]

It’s on my bucket list. If I take a vacation to Seoul, I wanna see it.

[@don.t_pushme]

First of all, thank you for taking a video about the heartbreaking history of korea:) To add to my opinion It's unfortunate that Korea is a divided country, but there are already too many differences compared to its relations with East and West Germany. Although borders are bordering, in fact, the cultural and economic gap is much larger than in countries on the other side of the globe. Unifying these two countries now is as difficult as unifying Africa's poorest and Europe's economic powers.Even if possible, the price should be borne by the current younger generation. This is still the cause of Korean politics and generational conflict. Finally, Thank you to all the countries that participated in the Korean War. Thank you:)

[@user-fq7lj8fe9y]

I think your presentation of your visit to the DMZ is really interesting. I've visited there once and if I get to travel to Seoul again, I would explore more of the border area. I wish you had been more direct about why both Koreas were separated. It's not offensive to be direct because outsiders need to know why there is this separation, and it is due to difference in political ideology. Without this context, it's difficult to comprehend why such a situation occurs (where both sides are still in a state of war) that could risk millions of lives.

[@chrisandsara]

Hey there, we certainly weren't avoiding the topic of why the Koreas are separated, but truthfully, the tour of the DMZ did very little to talk about the separation. It was very sugarcoated to preserve their hope for unification. We learned more about it at the war museum before we went, but seeing how S. Korea talked about the separation while on the tour made us feel like we should probably not dissect the topic too much out of respect.

[@everglades_n_co.]

before clicking the video, i was kinda afraid if you take it lightly much like entertainment, but you didn't. actually you did great job of taking a pretty deep dive into it from historical and humanitarian perspectives.

[@themediterraneanguy]

GREAT video content about ASIA, worth visiting and exploring. Friendly people, delicious tropical food and drinks, crystal white sandy beaches, has a lot to offer. Mabuhay to PARADISE, I love it here , it's my new home
