During the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Koreans surprised the world because the whole nation wore red T-shirts which is the Korean soccer team’s uniform in order to support the Korean soccer team’s uniform in order to support the Korean soccer team. Like this, Koreans like to unite into one. A reason why Koreans have these kinds of characteristic is that Korea is the only divided country in the world, due to the fact that the country is separated, people want more sincerely to unify the country and become one. In fact, Korea should be unified for the benefit of the Korean race and its merits domestically as well as internationally.
Koreans should not hand down a national tragedy and pain to their descendants. During the Korean war, many innocent people died by the war of one race. Moreover, killing each other with family members sometimes happened because one was drafted to the North by force whereas the other was drafted to the South. Like this, Koreans experienced the tragedy of the fratricidal war, the Korean War, and they have felt the sorrow of parting with their family. In addition, Koreans have a sense of unease about the war because the North and South armies are opposed to each other. That is to say, suffering and anxiety due to the division of the Korean peninsula should not continue any more.
The unification of Korea has a lot of merits domestically. If Korea were unified, the national defenses expenditure would be reduced heavily, and Korea could be developed by the technology of the South and cheap labor force of the North. Moreover, North Korea has abundant resources such as iron ore and coal, which would be very helpful to develop the country economically. As a result, Korea should be unified in order to develop the country domestically as well as internationally.
After the unification, Korea could be the leading country of the international society. Now, both countries are isolated by each other. However, by unification, Korea will have geopolitical merits; they can make inroads into another countries easily though the continent of China and Russia as well as the Pacific. Also, many multinational companies will invest Korea more and more because the danger of war will have disappeared. Thus, Korea should be unified because the unification brings a lot of international merits.
Now, it is time to take a optimistic view about the future. Korea has experienced hardship since it was separated into the North and South. However, the Korean race will unite into one, and the country will develop domestically and internationally. Finally, happiness will be brought by the unification of Korea.
