I hope to live to see a unified Korea one day. I have deep respect for the Korean people, and the overall divide is extremely sad. There's still hope, of course.

One of the most beautiful through-lines culturally is the rich food culture that exists in both the North and South. Pyongyang-style Nnengmyeun is one of the most beloved styles, and is celebrated even in the Anticommunist South. The Korean people are one, divided.

Indeed, occupied Korea has been brutalized just as much as the north, but in different ways. If the south can be freed from the clutches of the burger empire, things there would improve immeasurably.
