Detailed explanation-1: -North Korea is a one-party totalitarian state run by the Kim dynasty. South Korea was formerly governed by a succession of military dictatorships, save for a brief one-year democratic period from 1960 to 1961, until thorough democratization in 1987, after which direct elections were held.
Detailed explanation-2: -North Korea’s economy is isolated, closed and tightly controlled, whereas South Korea’s economy is one of the world’s most advanced and productive economies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Korean War, conflict between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in which at least 2.5 million persons lost their lives. The war reached international proportions in June 1950 when North Korea, supplied and advised by the Soviet Union, invaded the South.
