All considerations about political unification aside, what would a cultural unification of Korea even look like these days? Would there be any respect for any of the cultural uniqueness that has developed in each society over the course of 70 years?
It’d have to be something along the lines of HK integration I imagine. DPRK would have to keep the existing social structures in the south largely intact initially. However, most of industry is controlled by a handful of chaebol families. So, it would be straight forward to nationalize that immediately.
Selling all the republics assets for cheap to greedy capitalists who partly dismantle them simply to avoid competition, crippling half of the economy for decades?
