Do South Koreans even want to unite the Korean Peninsula if the North Korean regime was to fall? Or would they rather let North Koreans fend for themselves?

North and South Korea were united for thousands of years, but it is saddening that they have been divided for 60 years now. It seems that more and more Koreans are starting to open up about the possibility that they will become united again in the long run. The two countries have decided to become more civil towards each other, so their relations are not as bad as it was a few years back.

It would take time before they would become united again, but the majority of Koreans would be willing to unite to North Korea if in case this happens. People will always have different views about this topic, and it will probably take a long time before a resolution will be available.

It is possible North Korea and South Korea could someday be unified. It seems hard to believe they have been two separate nations for only about 60 years. Before the separation, they were one nation for thousands of years. They shared a heritage, language, culture, economy, and so on.

Since 1972, the two countries have met several times to discuss reunification but have obviously not reached agreement. A huge number of issues would need to be sorted out before they could be unified, not the least of which is money. South Korean citizens do not favor having to pay to modernize North Korea’s economy. It has been reported it could cost at least $500 billion.
