And the discussion - Korea is crazy and belligerent?
The country known as the hermit kingdom. Did not open to the west until ~ 1870s. The last time it was involved in trying to invade another country was as a vassal state of Kublai Khan. And yet such assertions go unchecked.
Korea is not belligerent and has much riding upon regional stability. We are talking about an economy that is roughly the scale of Italy's and a standard of living that is in many ways better than the US.
The biggest impediment to North South reunification is the immense disparity. The difference between East and West Germany was minute in comparison.
I am not Korean but love Korea. Have had the chance to work there (3 yrs) and know a slight bit of the history, language and culture.
There are many better sources of information on North Korea - don't give the Unification Church any more publicity. The Netflix documentary mentioned is a good one.
And stop with the misinformed ideas of Korea. It is not like China and Japan even though it is stuck in the middle. Korean language and culture compared to Chinese is roughly analogous to English with Latin. The base is completely different but Koreans borrowed Chinese philosophy and science.
Linguistically Korean has more in common with Mongolian and Hungarian than it does to Mandarin.
