tejek,

re:they've got to do a lot more work to do on their own economy and need to keep working on reducing the Chaebols' influence on commerce and finance. I don't think their economy could handle the impact of an impoverished NK

Actually, I think the way to re-unification is to elevate the North's economy - not the Souths. The Chaebol would be the financier to make that happen by creating jobs for those in the North. Some would see this as exploitation, but then ask why are all the US jobs going overseas to India and China. It's not so much exploitation as Capitalism at work, basic functions of resource management, people and money.

Comparing the Korea's to Germany is not even realistic at so many levels - but it always leaps to everyone's minds as the only example we really have.

They need to bring businesses to the North as this will promote the creation of infrastructure, roads, rail and power. If the two reunite too early, everyone would just migrate South as the North crumbled.
