Description
Book Introduction
A word from MD
A sneak peek at Pyongyang
There is no reason why unification should not occur in terms of peace, freedom, and economy.
Despite ups and downs, the Korean Peninsula is moving toward peace and unification.
There have also been several books published about North Korea.
If the previously published book was a detailed study, this book is a general study.
It introduces not only politics, diplomacy, and the economy, but also the daily lives of North Korean people.
December 7, 2018. Social and Political PD Son Min-gyu
How can peace become money, life, and a vision?
Fun for travelers, information for business people, and a nation that dreams of unification.
The first comprehensive guide!

The joint entrance to the Pyeongchang Olympics, two performances in Pyongyang, three inter-Korean summits, the agreement to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the connection of inter-Korean railways and roads, and the hosting of South Korea's first Okryu Restaurant in Gyeonggi Province. Seeing the vibrant Pyongyang on television makes me excited, thinking that I will soon be able to visit places and experience things I've never been to before.
Just imagining the things that will happen when you freely travel between North and South Korea, such as taking the Trans-Siberian Railway to Europe, touring Pyongyang, trekking on the Kaema Plateau, or doing business in Pyongyang, is exciting.
The events of 2018 gave us, for the first time in our lives, a glimpse of hope that we could escape the horrors of war and a confirmation of how desperately we longed for peace.

But the road to peace is never easy.
The interests of many countries, including the United States and China, are intertwined, making it difficult to resolve issues solely through the will of the South and the North, such as declaring the end of the war, establishing diplomatic relations between the United States and North Korea, and lifting sanctions against the North.
There are still many unresolved questions, such as whether we can truly trust North Korea and what benefits unification would bring to us.
How and where should we begin to achieve a Korean Peninsula free from war? What must we do to achieve true peace on the peninsula?

To introduce the exciting things that will happen when peace comes to the Korean Peninsula and to present a vision for a unified Korea, top Korean Peninsula expert Jeong Se-hyun, foreign affairs and security expert Hwang Jae-ok, and Jeong Cheong-rae, who entered politics with the desire for unification of North and South Korea, have joined forces.
This book is a blueprint for a unified Korea, drawn by leading experts who have spent their lives contemplating unification, and a faithful guide for those who wish to experience exciting and new endeavors on a peaceful Korean Peninsula.

Through the example of Germany, we forecast the future and economic benefits of a unified Korea. We predict North Korea's future course of action through the 25-year history of its nuclear program and the changes it has undergone. We also analyze the interests and current issues of various countries surrounding the Korean Peninsula.
It also contains insights into what we must overcome to live in peace on the Korean Peninsula, including conflict between South and North Korea, misunderstandings about unification, and the illusion of a single nation.
