After the defeat of Japan, the Soviet Union in the North and the United States in the South dominated the Korean peninsula, which had been dominated by Japan. As a result, the Korean Peninsula was divided into South and North Korea based on the 38th parallel. This was a non-humanitarian act against the will of the Korean people at all. The Korean people divided into the North and the South have 10 million separated families but are dying without seeing them and bearing a lot of age. The South and the North are in a state of truce, but South Korea continues to be threatened by the North Korean dictatorship. But our nation is like one body, so we are longing to be united again. The Han River is the capital of South Korea and the Daedong River is the river that flows through Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. These two rivers meet in the West Sea. As such, our people are eager to meet again. The ethnic division can be likened to the half of the famous face of the smiling Silla. We have to find the other side.

The one body unable to be devided
Choi Paul Yearn

Oh, my love, my life, all of me!
Han River and Daedong River are not to stop flowing
​To become one in the west sea.
As such,hot love of us are flowing toward each other
Because one body unable to be divided, because mine.
The half face of the Shilla Dynasty's peaceful smile
In the tile-Sumaksae closing the end of the Gwiewoagol
Our soul have been searching for the lost our half
With feeling to press our chests and to prick our skins.
​We have been looking forward to be one
Because one body unable to be divided, because mine.
How we have been wishing and longing for
To become one with our deep and deep hearts
Like those two rivers that meet in one!
Oh, my love, my life, all of me!
