fighting north korea was going to be the same thing, you'd be fighting your own nation, people dont get that there isn't a legitimate korea, there are two of them, both north and south are not legitimate since they were both split, they're in the same boat

Me too. That got me and I’m not a crier.

The fact that North and South Korea even exist, was primarily because the US didn't want the USSR to get credit for liberating the Korean Peninsula. The US jumped into the war at the last moment and rushed to liberate southern Korea as USSR troops were fighting back the Japanese in the North.

@@xx133 FR Korea could've been united under a single country today even though it's Communism, it will still be better than it splitting in half with heavy sanctions from the west. The war was ALMOST over until the US jumped in and dragged it longer.

@@Jake-dh9qk you say “even though” like it was a bad thing. North Korea was very prosperous under communism, South Korea was run by brutal regime that impoverished the people despite their connections to the West. It was an embarrassment for the US. This is why the US destroyed all of the North’s infrastructure during the Korean War. Now they could run with the narrative of how backwards the communist North was…

@@xx133my uncle was based in South Korea in the late 60s and he always tells me the US shouldn’t have joined in. He always looks at his time there with such shame. I’m thankful in a way that he gets it, a lot of vets who went with him thinks differently.

All due to Japan. It was Japan that created hostile environment, leading to building of different groups in North and South which eventually led to the partition. And saddest thing is Japan never admitted it's warcrimes

@@lightyagami8760 the division of the split between the North & south had nothing to do with Japan. Japan was involved in the WW2 .

@@soheelee5255 clearly you haven't read about Japan's colonisation. Japan colonised unified Korea, then there were different groups, with different ideologies formed in the Northern and Southern part. These eventually led to the division.

You know you won’t see it in your lifetime lmao

@@soheelee5255 Korea would have been one country if Japan hadn’t annexed Korea, WWII started when Japan annexed Korea. It didn’t start is 1941. Just in US. It had been going for decades. Because part of Korea liberated by Russia and part by US and wanting a quick end to things at the end of the world Korea was split in 2. Japan’s fault.

This is unrelated but you know these stories of people waiting for their husbands and wives for multiple decades is more sweet than bitter for me. Imagine being that committed to a person that their memories and longing for them is much stronger than the desire to feel loved. I'd imagine your grandma was also married for just a few months but till the end she was committed to her husband. It's kind of inspiring to commitment phobes out there (like me).

@@HemantKumar-id3jg frr makes me believe the love im trying to find is real

People getting killed, put in consentration camps, starving and generally living in a very strict communist country without any democracy + you can't leave without putting your life at risk? Imagine someone you love was on the other side of the boarder and being unable to have ANY sort of communication with them. Being apart from your family in the first place is terrible, but when you know they may be on the other side not being able to communicate with you..... they may not even be alive!

This is so so not fair to have families suffer in this manner. Wondering all the days of your life what has happened and you have no way of knowing

I’m in my 30’s too and both of my paternal and maternal grandparents were from North Korea. Both of my paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather had family in the North but remarried in South-which is one of the reason I exist None of them got to see their family in the north during their lifetime. For people who don’t know, the families in this video who got to meet their family again through this program are extreme lucky ones as there were more separated families than the capacity that the two nations could handle. Only a small fraction of them could have such a brief reunion. So blatantly cruel. Last of my grandparents passed away in early 2010’s. It’s so utterly and undoubtedly unfair that they had to be the victims of Cold War, which was the war between the superpowers that are on the other sides of globe. I pray to every Gods of humanity that both Koreas realize ideologies don’t mean nor worth a shit when innocent people have to be sacrificed for political conflict. I get that time already had fled too much and now reunification of the two doesn’t seem realistic anymore, but I hope to see the two nations, and other involved parties(China, United States) at least agrees to sign the peace treaty during my life time. So the two nations open border to each other, trade and have cultural exchange, so that not only birds but also people can come and go freely, so that I can visit my grandparents’ hometown on behalf of them.

How cruel the US is to see this and not care. The US military has been the command at the border since they created it and requires documents from South and North Korea be cleared with them first. There are many reunification groups that have been trying to get the US to let the Korean governments handle this themselves.

time for south korea to retake wartime operational control and its own DMZ/JSA. the us needs to step back and let korea be for the korean people@@jxy7096

This is horrible that things got worse and no more reunification. Politics never have brought good for the People, only suffering. And we let them to do it to us.

@@jxy7096 North Korea has been on strict lockdowns sense 2020 due to Covid. So even if the US let the Korean governments handle it I don't think it would have made much of a difference. I wonder why the US is in charge of that though?

@@jxy7096This is completely and blatantly false propaganda. The U.S. does not “control” the border, the two Koreas do. Those reunion programs are strictly dictated by the North and South Korean governments. Even worse, the North uses these reunions as pawns for their own agenda to appeal for more aid. The last time these reunions happened was because the North was temporarily “acting friendly” to receive more aid and easing of sanctions (President Moon and President Trump). After they got what they wanted, the North Korean government immediately fired missiles into the seas and closed all diplomatic talks once more. It’ll happen again in a few years, when they need to beg for aid again. It’s like clockwork. 2002, 2008, 2012, 2018.

Yes, we need to do our best to contribute to reunification efforts. There are many groups globally that need support to spread the Korea Is One message.

I am excited for you that you have found your biological family. I hope you can reconnect with them.

@@jennifermcculloch5324 don't you realise the American intervention is the reason the people in this video are suffering?! The USA bombed Korea more than they bombed ANYTHING during ww2. The North had 0% infrastructure because of the bombing at some point during the war, they literally wiped half of the formerly united Korea clean. The pain portrayed in this video was caused by American intervention and their countless war crimes. These people are suffering, I hope you have the moral decency in you to realise that both your grandfathers have blood on their hands.

@randomlad830 Dude you realize most people in this time period were drafted right? You didn’t have a choice in the matter. Let’s not throw stones and create more hatred.

@@goeticfolklore same logic as joining the nazis because needed to protect family. lmao the resisters and draft dodgers are the true heroes who refused to un alive the millions of korean children those poor "drafted" US military did.

You should get involved with Nodutdol which is a global organization committed to reunification efforts!

The reunion would be only possible if China end Russia put an end to Kim Jong un ‘s political power … but do they want to ?

It's not the war's fault anymore, it's the governments of North Korea and South Korea, but mainly North Korea, who will snag any excuse to stop the reunions and disallow the families from communicating through mail after they learn each other's addresses.

It is terrible what Communism does. The Communists could have easily chosen to allow those who wanted to leave North Korea... to leave. The Communists chose to keep people prisoner instead.

@@jxy7096 Only Communists tout the lie of "reunification". Communists need to leave North Korea that they hijacked.

I think, knowing some alive or dead, is still a closure. The worst is that 1 grandpa who knows nothing going on. I cried so much as I watched him talking..😭😭😭

If only the US would leave

The US military has controlled the border since it was created. They need this suffering to blame it on DPRK when the US military records are all available to see they committed mass scorched earth and created the ROK to prevent communication. There are reunification groups you can join like Nodutdol.

Do you mean the genocide committed by the US when enacting a scorched earth policy and its veterans talked about PTSD due to dreams of the children they shot? The US military has been the Chief in Command in ROK since it was created. If you want this to end, join a reunification group.

Very true. If only the US would let South Korea govern itself. Join a Korean reunification group!

​@@jxy7096But given the economic situation in the north, is that easy ? How do you think reunification would look like if there was one? Who would be the winner politically speaking? Kim's North will dominate or the South ? Or do you think of other options like one Korea with two governments or something ?

Hug them by demanding the US end their military occupation and let Korea govern itself

Can't they go back home? If no,why?

The "wall" in Korea is US military occupation

⁠@@jxy7096no the wall in Korea is China and Russia protecting North Korea 🇰🇵 a nation that supports terrorism and human rights violations.

@@Suho0_0 oh ok. Thanks for the informations

Exactly. The US needs to stop occupying the border and let ROK govern itself. Join a reunification group.

It can happen indefinitely if the US leaves the Korean border to South Korea.

@sksmstlsdlek 🙋🏽‍♀️Hi. I'm glad you replied to my comment & also, I have no issue with the length of your comment 🤭. As a matter of fact, most of my comments are kinda lengthy as well because not all responses, opinions, and/or replies are gonna be short, sweet, and to the point🤷🏽‍♀️. But yeah, watching this video DID make me upset because when it comes to family, I will FOREVER AND ALWAYS have an issue with someone DICTATING my life & whether or not families "QUALIFY" to see their own family. Yet, I also understand your sentiments and me grouping the entire country as a whole wasn't the correct thing to say. I also DO wish your people nothing but the best and the strength to keep going.

Ironically the Americans are at fault for causing this situation in the first place.

the US caused this lol

Reunification in our lifetime! Let's shout it until the US leaves!

And then someone cries about being misgendered in these days ! Our generation is a shame.

@@SwatiBornGirl People who constantly whine about other people's genders and pronouns are just as annoying and spoiled as the people they're complaining about. Our elders were fighting for their lives... and we're fighting about words we want, or don't want, to use lol

I was just thinking this too, but also, terrible things such as the genocide in Palestine continue to happen today. We need to be vigilant and hold our governments accountable so that history does not repeat itself.

Someday can come if we continue to demand the US military release their control over South Korea and let them unite!

We can contribute to efforts demanding US end this horrible seperation

What about Park Chung-hee?

Kims whole family is a curse...i really hope their generation dies off.

Do you really believe that propaganda? The US military were given genocidal orders. All this is well documented in the scorched earth policy and US vets talking about PTSD because they can't stop seeing the kids they murdered. If your heart breaks, then you have to do the unlearning to realize the US created the parallel and control the South Korea military to this day. Otherwise, this comment will be repeated for generations not knowing the perpetrator is preaching about "democracy" in a nation where they let kids starve and die on the street. Join the many reunification efforts based in Korea and abroad.

the divide was caused by the USA, not North Korea.

That's not what she wrote. Maybe learn to read. Nobody argued North Korea to be responsible. She just stated how violent North Korea and the Kim-Regime is. @@Cleo-zi4tf

@@jxy7096we Americans are never leaving Korea not until North Korea 🇰🇵 stops being a threat to the safety and security of Asia.

You do know the US's military files are accessible where they created the separation, parallel, mass genocide documented in scorched earth policy, and controls the ROK military to this day? If it aches for you, then do the unlearning required to finally end this in our lifetime by supporting reunification groups like Nodutdol.

@@jxy7096 shut up, you know nothing about this

We can hope and pray and demand the US end this monstrous division!

A lot more than hope out there with committed Korean groups pushing for an end to US military control of South Korea.

Especially Japanese

We humans can also put pressure on the US military to end their occupation and control of South Korea to unite all!

Or follow God's teachings to right wrongs on Earth and call for the US military occupation to end in Korea!

The one in power would need to go away. I hope some day you see them, too. I feel so bad for everyone going through it all.

Absolutely! We'll never stop demanding the US end this inhumanity!

We got to do our part and keep up the pressure for the US to stop controlling the Korean border!

@@jxy7096we Americans don’t control Korea or the border never have never will.

The US is the one who separated them and controls South Korea.

Yes let's put an end to US imperialism!

There wouldn't need to be a need for the Red Cross if the US left the Korean border and let South Korea govern itself.

You can wish less by following God's example of righting wrongs on Earth and demand the US end this inhumane separation and no longer occupy South Korea!

Yes, we need to continue to put pressure on the US military to end their control of Korean separation.
