I'd have to see how other liked it first before I went venturing that route...
I imagine you'd get shot if you were seen with one of the locals on a date though. |

I'd give it a whirl. I wonder how many North Koreans would venture south and try to find work? I would imagine they would be treated with less respect and be seen as "dirty" to South Koreans. |

Great options, there. I really think you've covered every possible answer to this question in your poll.
I don't think I would move there because I am too based in Seoul. Friends, hobbies, etc. However, I would probably travel, possibly volunteer or teach short term if I had the option.
Of course reunification isn't likely to happen anytime soon anyway, and if it did who knows what it would be like, so I guess it's pretty much a moot point. |

I might teach up there if all the hysterical xenophobes who are trained from birth to hate foreigners were exterminated first. Also, they would need to get some decent craft beers. |

If they were reunified I think it would be interesting to go. You'd only be a train ride away from Seoul at that time anyway.
I think another option to the question should be:
"I'd like to give it a try now, even as a separate country."
I (and most others) would answer no to that option, but there are people who do it (see above reply). I read a book by someone who worked a year as a propaganda translator up there, and said it was certainly a mistake.
If it were all one country, sure, I'd like to give it a try. I'd go up for a ski trip anyway. |
