Detailed explanation-1: -The DMZ runs close to the 38th parallel and has separated North and South Korea since the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953. South Korea never signed the Armistice Agreement, due to President Syngman Rhee’s refusal to accept having failed to unify Korea by force.
Detailed explanation-2: -prevented both sides from entering the air, ground, or sea areas under control of the other; arranged release and repatriation of prisoners of war and displaced persons; and. established the Military Armistice Commission (MAC) and other agencies to discuss any violations and to ensure adherence to the truce terms.
Detailed explanation-3: -demilitarized zone (DMZ), region on the Korean peninsula that demarcates North Korea from South Korea. It roughly follows latitude 38° N (the 38th parallel), the original demarcation line between North Korea and South Korea at the end of World War II.
