It would take billions to industrialize NK's economy to SK. We have to factor in SK having to pay more taxes and as a result have a lower standard of living. NK propoganda would be at odds with the SK liberal democracy. Who would train these additional tens of millions of people? How would they develop North Korea's economy? What about the families who were separated, ones in the prison camps, the discrimination and stigma? Will they get recompense? Do South Koreans even want reunification? Nukes will have to be dismantled since I doubt China would be comfortable. US would have to leave too since China would be threatened. Their government and constitution would change as well. How would the UK handle the refugee crisis? How would UK prevent itself from falling into corruption?
It would take decades for United Korea to recover their economy.
The idea of Korean Reunification.
