After the summit of the 2 Korean leaders, North Korea has announced on Apr 30 that the local time set 30 minutes faster from May 5, making it (UTC+09:00), the identical time zone with South Korea.
Originally, both Koreas were under same time zone. In 2005, DPRK announced to use "Pyeong Yang time", to delay 30minutes. This time zone was used solely by North Korea in the world!
The 2 Korean leaders have signed a "Panmunjom Declaration".
According to South Korea's Ministry of Defense, since May 1, the propaganda loudspeakers against North Korea along the borders will be removed, and the DMZ will be made into an area for peace.
The purpose of this blog is to think of ways toward peaceful and harmonious unification of Korean Peninsula, including the roles and positions of the USA and South Korea.
Even though South and North Korea share the same root and use the common language, differences in cultures including daily expressions, tastes of outfits, music and movies have been getting bigger and bigger since Korea's division in 1948.
