The United Korea [Brian Lim, team B, 5th blogging]
A couple of days ago, one unexpected event occurred in South Korea. And it has been issued among Koreans these days. It is that one of Korean navy’s warships whose name is ‘Cheon-an’ was sunk in the West sea of Korea on March. Therefore, a few days later after this incident, Government of South Korea announced officially that a North Korean torpedo sank the Cheon-an warship. So South Korea President, Myung-bak, Lee, has decided to take a stern measure against North Korea. However, Government of North Korea denied any role in the sinking of the Cheon-an warship. Therefore, they said that the South Korean announcement would make the situation of Korea as the phase of war. In this reason, these days, the citizens of South Korea and North Korea are fearful of breaking up a war in Korea.
If you were reading this blogging, you would be curious about the situation of South Korea and North Korea. A long time ago, South Korea and North Korea ware one united nation. But the united Korea was divided by ‘Korean War’ which occurred on 25 June 1950. This war was a result of the political division of Korea by agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War. And this War was a military war between the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). So the united Korea has been divided since they signed an armistice policy.
I will be a pity for both of them (South Korea and North Korea), if the division is continued like now. So many South Korean and North Korean believe that South Korea and North Korea will be united peacefully again. It is a South and North Korean’s wish. All of the Korean hope that this incident about Cheon-an warship can be settled reasonably as soon as possible.
