Since the Operation Paul Bunyan, the US-NK-SK relations has made a historical leap. Thanks for revisiting the history and highlighting significant moments. When opportunities permit, I would also love to visit!
Eoh Agassi, Just to clarify: The Military Demarcation Line DID exist in the JSA on 18 August 1976. Before that date, United Nations and North Korea/ Chinese People's Volunteers could freely cross the border to accomplish their respective duties. I should know; I first visited the DMZ as a Military Guest on 24 November 1974. I was stationed at Osan Air Base and had just arrived on the Korean Peninsula. I visited the JSA about seven or eight more times before two U.S. Army officers were brutally murdered at the Bridge of No Return. Osan Air Base 1974-1976, 1980-1981. Tae han Min Guk Mansae!!
I truly appreciate your service and your support for South Korea Sir. And my sincere condolences to Captain Arthur Bonifas and First Lieutenant Mark Barrett. South Korea will never forget all the heroes.
Thanks for an insightful video! It’s hard to imagine that the military demarcation line did not exist initially. Given such fact now I clearly see the significance of three leaders meeting at the DMZ.
negotiations did not take place in the blue houses but in a pavillon that is now on the north side of the DML and can be visited by tours visiting north korea. this blue huts have been built to MAINTAIN the truce contract, discuss open questions, misunderstandings etc.. and to have conference facilities making it possible for both sides to attend meetings without the need to cross the DML
That ominous music. Makes the video seem like a spooky spy film. 2:18, 3:26 So there's T1, T2, and T3. What about that silver building next to T3? What's that used for? 5:20 Hey, It's Red Velvet meeting Kim Jong-un. Except no Joy. I remember reading that they were extremely scared.
That building is often labeled "KPA REC" (Recreation House for KPA soldiers). The silver/white buildings are North Korean. That building is also referred to as the "Monkey House" (by American and South Korean soldiers) because the KPA used to make threatening and mocking faces and hand gestures through its windows when a meeting was occurring in T3. Really mature, eh? There is a silver, fifth building, that is connected to T1, and I believe was originally used for the communist NNSA members Poland and Czechoslovakia (but they were kicked out of. the Joint Security Area in 1995 and 1993, respectively). T1 is where the NNSA (now only Sweden and Switzerland) have their weekly meetings. Would be interesting to know what those two silver buildings are practically used for now, if used at all.
Thank you for showing us all this by going straight there! Do plans for those fascinating buildings (the Peace House and the House of Freedom) exist after the long-awaited peace becomes a fact? And blue huts also. Will they all be converted into museums?
I remember entering this JSA way back 2004. And there were many restrictions on what to wear when visiting this place. One of my classmates was denied entry because she was wearing black jeans (anything jeans, clothes with english alphabet, or logo were prohibited), certain hand gestures were not allowed, etc. The scariest was when we were asked to sign a waiver that denies JSA any responsibility when anything bad happens during our visit. We stepped into the T2, touched the historic table and even had photo taking with the guards (koreans and americans alike). We were toured around by our host, an korean soldier and an American soldier even showed us the most dangerous "golf course." Everything was moderated but it was a very wholesome educational tour arranged by my Korean language education institute.
Always beware of "false flags" ...Kim might be acting like he gives a damn, but I'm betting he's just being cooperative to be in the "spot light" of the world. I think he loves the attention and being considered of importance and that's as far as this will ever go. Hope I'm wrong...
Without end of communism two Korea will not unite...but it will happen and Korea become one single country full of peace....my dear korean brother and sisters let's go....Hare Krishna
Too bad his so-called diplomacy accomplished absolutely nothing. The only thing the came out of Trumps efforts was a big photo op. Pretty much sums up his entire presidency…all talk and no substance.
Such epic content! Keep it coming 😃😃😃

Very interesting video! :) thank you very much for making this! Did you felt scared to walk there?
When the US Army was still station at Camp Liberty Bell(DMZ), and patrolled in the winter. There is no fence, just old rusted markers for the DMZ.

Did you guys have permission to use that still image from the movie JSA? 0:08
I had to laugh at that image!
Cute woman. I like her style.
The North Korean uniform is more elegant
Was blue arm band necessary

Background music is very irritating. No need for it.
