Cultural Post #3

The division between North and South is one that is very apparent in Korean culture. Whether it's politicians campaigning on their stance on North Korea, or talk shows with North Korean defectors, South Korean culture is very wary of their neighbor. I read this article: http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/01/31/464798910/south-koreas-newest-tv-stars-are-north-korean-defectors and watched some of the dating show that was attached with it. It was very interesting to see the power dynamic between the North and South Koreans, but they seemed to interact in a pretty friendly and normal way. Even though both countries may be wary of each other, it seems to be the case that the Korean people do not resent each other for past events.
