Freedom Village - South Korea
Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
June 2005
In the middle of the demilitarised zone in Korea sits one of the strangest villages in the world. This fortified outpost is a key element in the ongoing propaganda war against the North.
"I'm always feeling the tension," complains resident Yoon Sun-Duk. "We never let our guard down." In the event of a North Korean invasion, his village would be the first place attacked. But ironically, the biggest threat to the village comes from peace. Currently, residents pay no taxes or rent and homes are subsidised by the South Korean government. Average incomes here are five times

Out of all the nationalities I've come across, the NKoreans are the most remarkable lol. It really is like they come from another planet, they looked at me as if I was a Martian or something.
The embassy staff all drove Mercedes, lmao, food for thought, NK embassy staff were caught in Germany and Finland for Heroin trafficking.
Are the people there allowed to keep personal firearms under a special exception?
Then the South would make a pretty cool film based on the event and we would all forgive them.
And it was another student outside the camera shot who suggests the word 'Appa' (dad) to the teacher to help their fellow classmate to talk @ 7:40.
The interview is very misleading and inaccurate, to say the least.
its the dictatorship of North Korea that won't allow Peace.
Russia taught the north communism, Japan attacked in ww2 &china helped NK in the war. it should have Never been split. once the Retard
is not in power too many people think it won't work
but theres a way they can unite IF they did it the smart way.
yeah, you may be right. but i think actually there are more complicated problems like relationships with neighbor countries or political things. anyway it's a shame for the last departed country in the world,
Very true. Can you imagine what it would take to reshape 50+ years of brainwashing, state reliance, and little if any free thinking?
of course its Different! BUT Most south koreans want to unite Right?
the same Race, WHY would any Koreans consider them a "different race"
Yes theres been a Huge advancement in south as far as a Modern society.
But they'r still reletives in Both south & North. the sad thing is most Young koreans choose to ignore & accept the fact of seperation & NEVER Protest
North Korea. any time you see a protest its people in the 50's or older.
Yes i know its difficult & it wont be easy. BUT the Retard kim jong il is a worthless prick. I dont see what "old kingdoms" has to do with this.
Hopefully his son will want to make history & agree to reunite the countries Peacefully. But thats very doubtfull.
