Thie video explains North Korean and how North and South Korean differences could make reunification more difficult. Is it really North vs. South?

I make a North and South comparison: how are the two Koreas different and how will that affect their plans to reunite. I don't just examine whether or not the political will exists, because we already know that this is a difficult thing to measure. Rather, I explain the economic, cultural, language, health care, and infrastructure difficulties and disparities.

This video is a quick overviews of some of the many differences between the two koreas, but obviously I can't cover everything from Kim Jong Un to South Korean gaming in one single 5 minute video. Keep watching in the future as I explore this topic of korean unification in greater detail.
