The Geopolitical Situation of the Korean Peninsula 이란 제목의 제 글 중에서 일부를 인용합니다.

The Geopolitical Situation of the Korean Peninsula

Korea, the country that has been one nation for thousands years, was divided into what was known North and South Koreas right after the World War II. Since then, Both North and South Koreans have considered reunification of the two Koreas as their historical mandate.  Thus, people from the two Koreas share the same historical mandate for reunification. Reunification of South and North Koreas is a key value for both South and North Koreans.  But this is the source of endless problems for the interrelation of the two Koreas.  The insoluble question is:  Reunification under whose government system?  Reunified Korea under Communism or Democracy?  While the two Koreans have two different ideological maters, there can be only one master for reunified Koreas.  In this geopolitical situation, the more the two Koreas share the reunification vision, the more they become hostile against each other. Thus, a key factor that has made reunification impossible in the Korean peninsula is the ideological difference.  The two Korean people are emotionally so close, yet so remote in their two different ideologies: Communism in North Korea and Liberal democracy in South Korea can never be reconciled as a single government system

This geopolitical situation defines the context of mission to North Korea.  Many Christians in South Korea has burning heart for winning the lost souls in North Korea.  But the Communists in North Korea always seek to overthrow South Korea by their ideology and by force.  Christian missionaries cannot go to North Korea.  The Communist spies can come to South Korea.  This condition makes South Korea a battle field for both psychological warfare and spiritual warfare.

The concept of enmity between the South and Koreans are very confusing one.  For South Koreans, the Communist regime in the north is the enemy, but North Koreans can never be the enemy.  And the love-and-hatred issue divides the South Korean people into two camps.  North Koreans are masters in exploiting South Koreans' emotional attachment for their psychological warfare.   And they have spying structure in South Korea whose task is to spread the Marxist worldview among Koreans, especially amidst young college students.  For their psychological warfare, North Korean's weapon is the Marxist worldview and a theory for it.  They find their strategy in shaping South Korean's worldview.  In 1990's when Marxism lost its place to stand in Europe, it gained new territory in Korea in this way.  In Korea one finds the new generation, most of who views Marxism as progressive ideology.[1] 

Anti-Americanism among Korean youngsters is one example of what the Communists had won by their psychological warfare.  This is a dreadful picture.  Many church leaders in South Korea tend to think mission to Russia is just sending money, food, and medical supplies to them.  The North Korean regime take all of them   And no opportunities for Christian witness is given.  It is they who take all aids from South Korean churches, organization, and government.   Yet, it is also them who have upper hand in the psychological warfare.  They find their strategy in worldview attack and this war zone has been the area the Korean society has been defenseless.  The particular worldview they attack is anti-Communism; the particular worldview they promote is anti-Americanism.  Their strategy for overthrowing South Korean society is to overthrow the worldview of anti-Communism.  Strangely enough, few church leaders have urged to confront this challenge from the Communists' false worldview.

한국을 외국에 올바로 알리기 위해 노력하시는 분들이 참고하실 수 있도록 제 영어 글을 조금씩 올리기로 했습니다.

한국의 상황을 이해하기 쉽게 써주셨군요. 우선은 기독교인들의 이해를 구하기 위해 한국 교회내 침투해 있는 민중신학자들의 역할을 구체적으로 언급해 주시면 더 좋을 것같습니다.

노벨평화상 수상식에서 베르게 위원장이 김대중의 말을 빌어 한국의 과거정권은 강도집단이요, 한국의 과거정권은 정치군대로 매도하여 대한민국을 전세계적으로 망신시켰는데 우선 이것을 바로 잡아야 합니다.
