Korea’s New Wave

North Korea and South Korea have vastly different political systems and economies, and occupy distinct positions in world politics. Yet in recent years, people in North and South Korea seem to be share a growing resentment towards American involvement in Korean affairs. In spite of the apparent ‘Americanization’ of South Korea, most South Koreans believe that American involvement has impeded a reunification of the Koreas and supported dictatorial regimes in South Korea. Increasingly, the younger generation in South Korea is rejecting American representations of Communist North Korea as a part of the "axis of evil." - YaleGlobal
