Then and Now: 68 Years After The Korean War

BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA - JUNE 23: South Korean children sit in the campus of Pukyung National University, which used to be the Busan National Fisheries Collage during the Korean War, on June 23, 2018 in BUSAN, South Korea. Over 66,000 South Koreans have been separated from their families during the Korean War which started on June 25, 1950, and effectively split the Korean Peninsula into two over the 3-year conflict. The fighting between North and South Korea ended on July 27, 1953, with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement and the heavily guarded Demilitarized Zone was created, however, both countries remain technically still at war since no peace agreement was signed and many Koreans died before they could reunite with their loved ones. North Korean officials recently announced they will return the remains of as many as 200 American troops from the war to the U.S., the first sign that the totalitarian nation plans to comply with an agreement signed on June 12 by North Korean leader Kim and U.S. President Trump, during a historic summit in Singapore.
