The Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea established the Kaesong Open Zone. Most railway lines are left over from the Japanese occupation period. During the reign of Kim Dae-jung in the last century 1998-2003, South Korea intended to extend an olive branch to North Korea-reconciliation, because the first chairman of North Korea, Kim Il Sung, died during this period, which brought some light to the situation on the Korean Peninsula that had been deadlocked for nearly half a century. During Kim Dae-jung's administration, he began to make arrangements and make relevant preparations. Although nothing happened, his successor Roh Moo-hyun followed. It can be said that if he can continue to be in power, maybe the situation on the Korean peninsula will not be as it is now, and maybe the Korean peninsula will be unified. Well, it will fall short!

The current president of North Korea is Kim Il Sung, the eldest son of the late Kim Il Sung, who has not yet retired. It is said that he will be transferred to his third son, Kim Jong-un.
