The two countries have a long history of planning joint Olympic activities, sometimes successful, sometimes failing with deadly consequences.

I saw a video where there were teenagers who wants both south and North Korea to unite and be a whole. They said they don’t want violence but peace.

North and South Korean governments: fighting
North and South Korean athletes: let's make one team

I have mixed feelings about unification, the yes part is because many people have lost family members for a very long time, but the no part is that if they unite, it could be Communist, or that it would lose its film industries

Why Koreans can't replicate the German reunification?

Well I can understand why NBC wants to put a good face on this. But simple fact is that South Koreans never asked for this. They deserved to host a successful games.

Without the Specter of the north looming over them. But what worries me even more is that North Korea is up to something.

You could tell just by the smirk on Kim sister's face which irritates me. North Korea did not earn the right to be here.

Most South Koreans that I know were adamantly opposed to it. So I am disappointed that the IOC allowed this. 

As it has turned this Olympic Games into a political football. What also is worth mentioning however.

Is that the whole reason Moon (President Of SKorea) is on this Crusade. Is that his parents where North Korean defectors. Well that would explain things a bit.

Furthermore we are not talking East and West Germany here. The Dresden Doctrine of which South Korea's trying to emulate will not work here.

Any reunification attempt will likely be met with years possibly decades of turmoil. What Kim wants is to strip Korea of it's sovereignty.

Not bring together a unified democratic Nation. South Koreans are not stupid & have worked too hard to get where they at. To allow North Korea to take that away from them. :/
