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.

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 :)

I am Korean. Before visiting dmz, I will give you some helpful information. 1. Dmz is a nature reserve that has been preserved for 70 years. (It is a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea, and it has become an area where many mines are installed, making it impossible for people to enter. When it rains a lot here, it often sounds like landmines popping.) 2. In the 1950s, North Korea was richer than South Korea today. (But the current gdp difference is huge.) 3. In the next 20 years, there will be no blood relationship with North Korea. (There are not many elderly people left with remaining relatives and family members in North Korea.) 4. South Korea insists that we should help North Koreans because their lives are difficult. (However, it is contradictory to see North Korea live for 70 years without failing so far.In reality, it is an argument for South Korea to absorb North Korea.) 5. Let's study about the 'sunshine policy' (Kim Dae Jung, which won the Nobel Peace Prize for its policy of helping North Korea, once delivered rice, cattle, and chocolate pie to North Korea.) The downside of this policy is that it has invested money saved from foodstuffs into nuclear development. The advantage of this policy was to show the North Korean people the taste of liberalism, and to promote the freedom and wealth that the United States presented to the South.) 6. Most Koreans do not want to be unified. (Although it has the advantage of making numerous resources, land, and trains through Europe, it does not prefer to increase taxes borne by individuals.) 7. North Korea's elite also does not want to be unified. (It seems to be wary of simply selling cheap labor, like China and Vietnam now.) 8. Nevertheless, it is difficult to choose which country should have when North Korea collapses. (Many countries such as the United States, South Korea, Russia, China, and Japan may interfere.)

great video. i am a canadian born korean. i went to the dmz with my grandfather every weekend to have hamung naeng myun which is a north korean cold noodle dish. my grandmother came across tree or four times with her children to escape the north. she had to escape with one or two sons at a time since it was dangerous to go in groups because of the snipers and bombs going off consistantly. if it were not for china today the koreas would be unified but china wont allow it! i have even heard news of germany trying to help reunificate korea since they had hands on experience in overcoming the details of the different ideals....thanks to america and all the countries including ethiopa who came to a land to keep freedom for a peoples they did not know,,, our ancestors have worked very hard to not let down the vetrans who helped make this country prosperous... korea is thankful and there fore these countries should be proud in their efforts. in order by the number of deaths: usa, united kingdom, turkey, canada, australia, france, ethiopa, columbia, greece, thailand, netherlands, philipines, belgium, south africa, new zealand and luxembourg. come on china!! screw ur communist control over north korea,,,, give them a choice so they can reunify,,,

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

The flag pole issue as mentioned. There was a sort of competition between north and south Korea. What ended up happening to stop the tit-for-tat was there was an agreement that North Korea could have the tallest pole but South Korea got a larger flag. I believe that pattern is even true in the building in the DMZ where both north and south meet north Koreas flag on the table is slightly taller and South Korea is a bit larger. Spent 13 months there in the mid 80s, it appears to have changed alot since I was there. Go 2nd ID

As the New Cold War became visible these days, I realized an interesting fact while searching for geopolitics. It may not fit the purpose of this video, but I decided to write it down because it was something I wanted to say somewhere. On the Korean Peninsula, the Three Kingdoms period, which began in BC, is being reproduced again. Goguryeo, which was located in the north, was the only conquering country on the Korean Peninsula. It was famous for its hunting, gathering, and powerful army, and it was a cold and rugged image. On the other hand, Silla and Baekje, located in the south, quietly strengthened their power by working on trade and diplomacy while bowing to the powerful Goguryeo in the north, and liked to decorate with accessories such as gold crowns and gold-dong-ro, earring, etc. This is because geopolitically, the north was always hungry because it was not suitable for farming bark, so they expanded their territory in search of good land, and Silla and Baekje were blocked by Goguryeo and had no choice but to strengthen trade and diplomacy. Didn't you see it a lot somewhere? It's like modern North and South Korea! Are you curious about the ending of these three countries? It was Silla(south)'s victory. Silla formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty of China and unified it in the order of Baekje and Goguryeo. After that, the Tang Dynasty betrayed and invaded Silla, which was also expected and prepared, so it endured against the Tang Dynasty and achieved unification. Of course, there are voices of resentment against Silla, which destroyed Goguryeo, the large territory in history, but I think it is so smart and amazing that Silla, a very weak and small country, fought and won against two huge countries, Goguryeo and Tang. Of course, now that much more countries are involved, it will move toward a peaceful solution rather than winning or losing. No, it should be resolved peacefully. But it was really interesting to have a similar personality to the countries that existed a long time ago just because they were in the same position. Political geography and human history are inseparable. Another fun fact: Some people make fun of K-pop boy groups for wearing makeup like girl, and I want to tell it for those people. In Silla, there were juvenile soldiers who wore makeup like girl called Hwarang(means flower boy or flower knight), but they were very scary and brave.

Korea's dividing line was divided into the leadership of the United States and the Soviet Union. In one country, it was not just a war for Koreans because the south accepted American democracy and the north accepted Soviet communism. It was a war between the United States and the Soviet Union on Korean soil due to the sharp conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the process, democratic and communist countries provided separate support to the north and south, and it became a war in which several countries participated. I watched all the videos of Jacob and Sera's trip to Korea Time really flew by. The visuals were so pretty and I enjoyed watching it. Thank you!

The younger generation is skeptical about unification. There are many reasons, including North Korea's debt, The problem of bordering with C, and the posibility that voters united by a different ideology will control the legislative and executive branches. but it's just an internal problem in ROK. Apart from these issues, I’m really grateful to the 63 countries and soldiers for protect Korea's freedom. and ashamed that the Korean government and the legislature do not provide enough support to veterans.

As you said at the beginning of the video, Seoul, the capital, is very close to North Korea. For this reason, there are also opinions that we should relocate the capital to Se-jong or Pusan.
