somehow reunification is one of solutions to south korea declining population
@FancyCapitalist
They'd split again into West Korea and East Korea
@LA_Thorne_Tha_Martian
I'm not Korean but i do sincerely hope that the people of those two nations can be united once again as they have a shared history and much can be gained from the union for them

You forgot the sister - the real tactician and devilishly cruel.
@imanuelulbricht2470
In Germany the reunification still is not fully done. There are still divides between former west and former east. There are still so many issues that can be pointed down to the reunification which was partially botched.
@ladynikkie
Another issue that wasn't mentioned is the rest of the Kim dynasty and the poor citizens that are imprisoned in those interment camps they would definitely need seriously help after being tortured by the regime
@h0m3st4r
That depends on which Korea would be in charge of the effort.
@DJG37S
As a Korean American (my parents immigrated to United Stated from South Korea in 1982), I would love to see the two Korea united especially under a free state and free government. But this will NEVER and I mean NEVER happen because the little rocket man would never give up his power and his dictatorship, so the only way this would happen is if another civil war broke out but if this EVER happen it 100% lead to another world war because we all know that China and Russia will 100% back the North Korean's while United States and Nato will back South Korea.
@SwitchShield
This may benefit south Korea more than the North. They are rapidly running out of people at working age!
@SomaStroke
Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited 'cause we understood There's one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey ♫

I mean, we had this scenario before. Granted, East-Germans weren't nerly as indoctrinated as thee North Koreans would be, however we had an example of reunification. And South Korea would face enormous challegenes with tremendous amounts of money they would have too pump into the North. Germany alone spent about 1.5-2 trillion Euros into rebuilding East-Germany. And North Korea is probably in even worse conditions than the GDR was back then. This isn't a matter of months or years. Germanys reunification is still ongoing, with East-Germans being not fully on par with their Western counterparts. And we're already 35 years in. I think it is fair to say that reunification is a multi-generational process, with newer generations steadily growing up into this new country. North Korea would face the same issues. Probably worse due to the Kims basically looting their country on a daily basis. However, if the process is done right (and South Korea, do me a favor here, look very closely what Germany has done to prevent the failures freom happening again) and Korea doesn't go extict over it's low fertility rates, it has the potential to become the third or fourth largest economy in the world. Maybe South Korea should use the opportunity to lower the Jaebols influence in the process.

Laying mines that aren’t set to expire after a decade should have been be a Geneva Convention violation

Quality of life in NK ⬆️ Quality of life in SK ⬇️
@stevencourtney5371
Wouldn't someone else in North Korea try to seize power? Saying they had to do it to protect the people.
@armandolimon7465
I lived in South Korea for five years, 2010-2020. One of the biggest fears for in the South was reunification. Politicians in Seoul understood it would bankrupt the nation. Also, if there was a flood of Koreans from the North, what would they do? What could they do? I'm barely scratching the surface on this subject that no Infographic can come close to stating.
@KyrosKR
As a Korean, I have to say this. 22:19 The video is absurdly optimistic about the economy. Germany hasn’t recovered from its unification after 30 years. West Germany‘s economy was 6.3 times larger than East Germany. SK’s economy was 53 times larger than NK in 2020. If we get united, our entire country is going to get bankrupt and it will take centuries to recover. Not to mention that the raw economic scale in 1990 is way smaller than the current economy scale. The only thing the North can provide is natural resources, but if you do a deeper study, the resources in NK are Coal. Sure, coals would’ve been a valuable asset in the 19~early 20th centuries but in the modern world, coals are far less valuable compared to oil and gas. We can’t even use coals to its full potential because due to the international environment protection treaties. In the modern world, coal is borderline useless(unless your country is in an active warfare) Unification is impossible and shouldn’t be considered in the first place.

As a Korean, I would like to express my gratitude for covering the unification of Korea. The scenario of the video is quite elaborate and the infographics are very attractive and of excellent quality. I am in favor of unification and tend to support a somewhat optimistic scenario, but I do not agree with everything in the video. Because there are some errors from a professional perspective, aside from my personal opinion. I do not have any degree to point out the scenario of the video. However, I am a Korean who has very high access to information about Korea and North Korea, and I have also frequently discussed and discussed this topic. Also, I served in the ROKA Reconnaissance and Surveillance Unit under the 6th Infantry Division of the ROK Army in 2024 and directly confronted the North Korean military in the DMZ. I am an undergraduate majoring in political science, public administration, and economics. I cannot say that my knowledge or expertise is exceptionally outstanding, but I can say that I have better access to information about inter-Korean relations than the average Korean.
@sulohland
the way this video is made its like infographics went to the future
