If I would be south korean I would hope that South Korea and North Korea would never reunite.
Germany spent 1.2 Trillion Dollars in the first few years to build up infrastructure and give people social security they never payed for. And West Germany was 4 times larger (population wise) then East Germany. South Korea is just twice as large as North Korea.
And East Germany was way better of then North Korea. BTW why does everyone assume that South Korea would give up their democracy just to reunite with the North ?
The Costs would be huge and I doubt South Korea would be able to pay for it Germany is one of the biggest econmies in the world and they bit up more then they could chew. The South would definetly go bankrupt unless they wouldnt try to level the differences between the economies.
Bringing those states together would be a very big piece of work and couldnt be done without international help, the US should imo be there no active role but a spectator which is willing to act if necessary.
