Many things were changing after WWII. One of those lines cut the Korean peninsula in two, drawing new lines. North Korea and South Korea would be left in the world. For more than 70 years the relations between the two nations were hostile, but now some light has shone through the DMZ. But if they do reunite, it will take some time for the two cultures to congeal together, the ways of life and culture are so very different. Here are 40 images that prove just how much the two countries are actually not alike.
Fun in the Sun
In those hot days of summer, there are few things better than hitting a waterpark with your friends and family. Both North and South Koreans have access to water parks for just this reason.
As with most things, the way they head out to the pools is vastly different, though. Typically, North Korea is a little more traditional and conservative, while South Korea looks very Western in the way they suit up for the park.
