Answer 1

G'day sothkorea,

I would much rather live in South Korea than North Korea.

The South Korean economy has advanced rapidly since the 1950s and is now the 10th largest economy in the world. South Korea is also one of the world's most technologically advanced and digitally-connected countries. It has the second highest number of broadband Internet connections per capita in the world and is a global leader in computer games, digital displays, and mobile phones.

South Korea's entertainment industry has grown explosively since the 1990s, producing Asia-wide successes in music, television, and film in a phenomenon known as Hallyu, or the "Korean wave". However, the country still retains centuries-old customs and traditions, such as its unique cuisine and ancestor worship.

In contrast, North Korea is a combination of backwater and hellhole.

Its official government is a Communist-led single-party state under the Juche system. North Korea is often referred to as a Stalinist country that uses central planning to implement its economic and social policies.

North Korea's economy has been relatively stagnant since the 1970s. The government does not release economic data. Publicly owned industry produces nearly all manufactured goods. The government continues to focus on heavy military industry. As of 2005, the government is estimated to have spent around 25% of the nation's GDP on the military (compared with 2.5% for neighboring South Korea).

In the 1990s North Korea faced significant economic disruptions, including a series of natural disasters, political mismanagement, serious fertilizer shortages, and the collapse of the Soviet bloc. These resulted in a shortfall of staple grain output of more than 1 million tons from what the country needs to meet internationally-accepted minimum requirements.Recent evidence suggests serious food shortages continue.

One day Korea may reunite as Germany has. When it does, the South will have to heavily subsidise the North which is much worse shape than East Germany ever was.

Regards

Answer 2

From what I heard, South Korea is a very developed country whereas North Korea actually needs a lot of help though their leaders prefer not to get any.

In my country (as well as other countries around this region) many people love to watch South Korean movies and dramas but we hardly know anything about North Korea except that there are famines over there.

Answer 3

South korea is a goood place, but i can't seem to remember it to well, it's been forever since i last went there, but i do know i had a fun time there. I remeber going to lotte world and everland and that was pretty fun. I went to a lot of go-gi resturants. I went to a few different cities there as well, but i can only remember 2, pusan and seoul. great cities, lots f nice people and a lot of great places to visit.

I don't hate the North Korea country, just the president who dictates the place. Feel really sorry for the people living there.

Answer 4

Knowing about the GNP of the ROK vs. DPRK, I prefer the lifestyles in the ROK.

ROK is the most broadband wired country, abundance of food, easy going lifestyle, good economic/financial liquidity, and most importantly, very industrialized. (People are friendly too)

DPRK on the other hand, the recent flood damaged the food stocks (which adds insult to injury by already depleting the food supply which the citizens of DPRK needs desperately) bankrupt economy, leader(s) who are out-of-touch with the reality, brutal repressive government.

Test firing the Taepodong missiles and sabre rattling by Kim Jong Il of DPRK won't add much lustre to the country either.

To answer your question about US and ROK being a confederacy. I think it's more of an economic and military alliance than confederacy. (Correct me if I am wrong)

Answer 5

S.Korea is well development nation with lots of modern architecture. But sad to say its not a friendly tourist country,
Only a hand full of Korean speak English.
For N. Korean, they will get their Secrect service following you around if you visit the country.

Answer 6

Everything is ****** up lets put it that way..I want it to be Korea its better than it split up. I just hope that we can unify with our brothers to the north as soon possible. If we do we can compete stronger with our neighbouring enemies and we need can gain our lost Koguryo lands to the northern manchu area. DAE HAN MIN G-O-O-K!!!
