is there even the slightest chance that north korea & south korea will unite?

Answer 1

I worked in South Korea for a while. The people in the South, and the government, really want reunification to occur. In their government, they actually have a "unification" minister.

However, they don't want to acquire all of the North's current problems....economy, etc. They want to give the North aid, hope that it can build itself up from poverty, and in the the future, they hope the two Koreas will be together again.

Answer 2

There are a lot of sacrifices that the South would have to make should they reunify now.
Most people want it to happen, but many know of the consequences should it happen.
The North needs to prove that they have more to offer than a strong military, and nuclear weapons. There are many positives for if this was to occur, but it has been said that economically Korea would be suffering for many years if they were to reunify.

Answer 3

it's inevitable that they will reunite sometime in the future Kim Jong Il doesn't really seem to be pushing any of his kids for the next leader the way his dad did. None of his kids will have the mythical status of KJI, like being born at the almost holy site of Mt Paekdu, or the genius to be able to write about any thing and the knowledge to go in anywhere and micromanage (with on-the-spot-advice). It's hard to see that North Koreans will follow the next guy so closely. I can't imagine it will happen soon though.

Answer 4

in case you have been South Korea, could you prefer to reunify? think of how complicated it exchange into for Germany to reunify. The East exchange into very unfavourable and decrease than superior, now multiply that via component to a minimum of 30. The "large chief" will could die first in any case.

Answer 5

south korea doesnt want north korea's problems like economy, poverty and such. Their governments are so differnt that there would be a lot of conflict.

Answer 6

The government know their nation will be just like the period after West and East Germany united.
They have to accept not only people, but also all the problems there: poverty, re-training of worker, education, etc.

Answer 7

Technically their still at war there never was a treaty signed. They have to do accomplish that first, but I doubt it. Kim Jung II needs to step down. But you also have to see that their economics and society is different. Culture though is mostly the same. I wish though they will one day.

Answer 8

Yes. The two nations want to unite, but it's difficult.

Answer 9

I think it's possible NK could just collapse. The regime has to at least supply food to keep it's grip on the people, and they are struggling with that.

Answer 10

There is chances if the N,K chief is replace
