Tensions between the two Koreas reached a boiling point on June 16, 2020, when North Korea destroyed the inter-Korean liaison office in Kaesong to symbolize the end of an era of inter-Korean reconciliation. In a series of statements released by the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea expressed frustration with South Korea for failing to adhere to commitments made in inter-Korean agreements, including halting activist groups from sending propaganda leaflets across the border.
Women Cross DMZ’s Hyun Lee explains why tensions are running high, and what can be done to reduce hostilities and work toward peace.
