A news conference on July 27 in front of the U.S. Capitol featured a broad array of activists and organizations: Christine Ahn, Women Cross DMZ; Joy Gebhard, Divided Family Member; Rick Downes, Coalition of Families of Korean & Cold War POW/MIAs; Lt. General (Retired) Daniel P. Leaf, U.S. Air Force; Joyce Ajlouny, American Friends Service Committee; Hana Marie Kim, 30 Under 30 activist and high school student; and Barbara Lee, U.S. Congress member from California.
Following the press event, an emotional Han ceremony at the Foundry United Methodist Church gave the many participants of Korean ancestry an opportunity to express and manage the complex emotions of sorrow, resentment, grief, sadness and hope that afflict many members of families separated during the Korean War and the following seven decades of a divided Korea.
Later, a rally in front of the White House featured Echo Hyunsook Cho, Women Cross DMZ; Medea Benjamin, Code Pink; internet personality Nick Cho, “Your Korean Dad”; and other speakers. It was followed by a spirited mile-long march past the Korean War Veterans Monument to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where an interfaith vigil was held.
Of course unification has support in both North and South, but there’s zero overlap of how each government would want to share power.
We will leave when South Korea asks us to leave. But that’s literally the opposite of what they want.

The South Korean government is a puppet propped up by the U$.
Ok.
I’m sure the leader that’s so far right his ideology is called “k-trumpism” represents the views of every single Korean. I’m sure the average SK resident supports have poor quality food for poor people, doubled down patriarchy, and reduced wages for workers.
The people of occupied Korea yearn for the 96 hour work week. They actually love it when our stupid fucking troops run over their kids with tanks.
