North Korea and South Korea is VERY different, the only similarity is that they’re both Koreans, speak the same language and share the same culture, but other than that it’s drastically different. Major differences are North Korea is ruled by a authoritarian communist dictator while South Korea is a democracy. Their economy is also different, South Korea is a economic powerhouse ranking 11th in the world, while North Korea is so poor it ranks at 115th. They also have very different allies, North Korea’s allies are China while South Korea’s major allies is America. Basically, North Korea=bad, South Korea=good
