Do North Korean defectors have a choice about staying or leaving South Korea?
Most North Korean Defectors do not ever go to South Korea. They either stay in China or come to the United States. North Koreans often feel alienated or discriminated against in South Korea because of their accent or mannerism, so they prefer to live in other places where their distinctiveness as North Koreans is less obvious.For those North Koreans who do defect, regardless of what country they defect to, returning to North Korea will be punished by death. South Korea also makes going to North Korea a criminal offense, meaning that, if for some reason North Korea waives punishment for returning, a re-return to South Korea will land that person in Jail. However, North Korean defectors to South Korea become immediate South Korean citizens and can visit any country with which South Korea has relations (just like any native-born South Korean). For example, they could work in Europe, the US, Canada, etc. provided that they get the proper visas required by those countries.
Why are winters in north Korea colder than south Korea?
There are three general reasons:North Korea is at a higher latitude than South Korea and higher latitudes have colder weather.North Korea, by and large, is at a higher altitude than South Korea and higher altitudes have colder weather.South Korea is entirely surrounded by large seas which help to moderate the climate somewhat. As North Korea has less contact with the same large seas, their moderating effect is far less.
What did UN do after North Korea attacked South Korea?

What historical event happened in North Korea?
Since Koreans are stupid they decided to put all the dumb people in the north and all the less stupid ones in the south. Once they officially split, all the People in north korea killed each other. All except a mother and her great great uncle who had autism, HIV and serve retardation. These two people procreated together which lead to the current population of 24 million.
Why is south Korea rich and north Korea is not?
Why North Korea has not developed an economy comparable to South Korea is a complex issue. One reason is that North Korea has faced repeated sanctions from the UN. North Korea and South Korea had comparable economies until the mid-1970s. South Korea chose to embrace a Westernized Capitalist economy and was able to modernize alongside Japan and Taiwan in developing a first-world modern economy. Conversely, North Korea continued to become more autarkic and slide into increasing forms of state-planned economy. Without innovation and a strong private sector, North Korea's economy continues to shrivel whereas South Korea's economy continues to grow and develop.
Which place is worse North or South Korea?
NORTH KOREA is worse, by leaps and bounds.North Korea is probably the worst place in the world to live with frequent famines, poor human rights, dictatorial oppression, and other massive violations of the personal dignity of its inhabitants. By contrast, South Korea is a first-world country on par with the United States, Canada, Australia, Western Europe, and Japan. The only thing that detractors say about South Korea is that the modern South Korean culture is increasingly materialistic and less reflective of historic Korean values than North Korea is. However, you can live a very traditional life in South Korea; it just happens that most of South Korea's youth do not want to.
If North and South Korea start another war will Americans get drafted?
This is very unlikely. Aside from the fact that a second Korean War is becoming less and less likely due to North Korea's economic failures and China's withdrawal of support, the idea of a military draft in the United States is so unpopular that it would never pass. Finally, the US troop numbers and positions in South Korea are sufficient to halt any North Korean attack without needing a draft because of the superiority of the US and South Korean military arms.
Who won in war battle south Korea or north Korea?
That one is too close to call, and hope we don't ever find out.
Are there some Chinese-speakers in Korea?
There are some Chinese-speakers in Korea, but there are many more Korean-speakers in China. Chinese is spoken by roughly 900,000 South Koreans and less than 20,000 North Koreans.
