Eric Re.. Both in a way. Most everyone (in the South) dreams of re-unification, but when they begin to examine the costs - they suddenly realize it may not be such a great goal ( in the short term ).

Frankly, once they open the borders, Nk will have no way of containing the refugee flow into SK,because of the amount of people fleeing starvation. And the borders have been opened partially; because of Dae Jungs Sunshine policy; which Roh has promised to continue.

The North has explicitly demanded the removal of all foreign armies from the Korean peninsula, but has also given several informal indications that it might compromise on this issue.

In 1998, Kim Dae-jung launched his "Sunshine" policy, which aimed to replace antagonism with engagement. As a result, the level of economic exchange between the two countries has mushroomed. Hyundai corporation launched a tourism project that brought hundreds of thousands of South Koreans to the Kumgang Mountains in the North. The Kumgang expedition aside, the number of people to travel from the South to the North rose dramatically from 1 person in 1989 to 7,300 people in 2000.

There were no North Koreans visiting the South in 1989 while by 2000 the number had grown to 706. Following the first-ever summit between the two Korean leaders in June 2000, North and South Korea signed a declaration of joint principles, agreed to re-link a train line, and planned to launch a new economic zone just north of the DMZ with South Korean financing.
