The Demystified Zone (DMZ)

Ep. 10: Family Ties


Listen Later

 Hosts Sug Shin and Dan Chung talk about family reunifications between people from the North and South. When the DMZ (demilitarized zone) went up, it abruptly severed all communications. Families were separated and zero contact between the two sides. Most didn't expect the separation to occur so suddenly and permanently. For decades, people didn't know whether their loved ones were dead or alive. 

These reunions require cooperation and participation between the North and South. Sug and Dan discuss the political and familial intricacies involved and even suggest to the Dear Leader himself some ways he can make these reunions even better.
