Koreans used Koreans to keep Koreans from escaping to Koreans.

KOREAN WAR NEVER ENDED! IT WAS AND STILL IS A CEASEFIRE!

Technically, Korean War is still active.

My brother was stationed near the DMZ and he said it’s an extremely quiet place as well. It’s eerily quiet there. And that blue building was originally used for south and North Korean families could spend time together. It’s never been used for that purpose.

1:42 leaves trying to leave north korea.

[davidjenkins]

As a soldier I wouldn’t be able to stand that many hrs.

[abraappiah-kubi]

Oh my! This is so scary. Same people, same heritage but divided. Wow!

[bobbart]

For a DMZ, it sure seems like there are a lot of soldiers.

[Zuwie]

Who would have thought that Trump would be crossing that border in less than 1.5 years.

[floridaactor]

I visited the DMZ in 2009 while on a trip to visit our U.S. Army family who were stationed in South Korea. So many videos do not show Tunnel 3. That was quite a trip! We managed to take the tour through the USO in Seoul.

[jaysartori]

That village just across the DMZ with the huge North Korean flag is it's called a propaganda village because no one lives there! They also want to draw South Korea over to the Northside, but "NO ONE LIVES THERE IT"S ALL EMPTY CRAP!!

Mr Beast 24 hours in the North Korean Demilitarized Zone challenge (gone wrong!)

With his opening sentence being inaccurate, I paused it the video, wrote this comment, and now I'll find a better, accurate source of info. C'mon CNBC, do your homework.

[geoffreylee]

The Tours are available for anyone. The DPRK runs tours on their side too; it is a required part of their tours.

[metalmessenger]

Has anyone here been on a tour to this place? I’m starting to do some research, maybe next year if i have a chance.

[astom]

korean war did not end! people misunderstand because the peninsula have shown no significant casualties after 1950s but the war technically is still ongoing...

[jeffyowell]

Just as a reminder: Does anyone out there, in South Korea especially, know what would happen if the US military withdrew from the DMZ? Please detail in comments, thanks

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons & sorcerers & idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith & trust in Him today and please repent.

[PardonJulianAssangeNow]

Makes you feel sick that the Americans have insisted for their flag to fly around the Korean DMZ. The USA isn’t the worlds policeman!

[stephengill]

Hearts are too hardened.... Peace will never come without change. No one wins a No one.... Everyone loses because life is lost and a single life is valuable never mind hundreds or thousands

[strauqq]

The more I research this, the more I get confused. Wtf?
