As iin 1950-1953 neither country availed from the Korean War that did nnothing but separate relations between the two countries even further this caused outrage to the Soviet union and the United States as neither was able to accomplish their goal of communism or democracy. Therefore in the 38th parallel both countries are still deploying troops and soldiers in the case of a surprise attack from either country. In this sense the two koerans are still at war from the cold war era between 1945-1991, North Korean Communists and the Republic of South Korea signed an armistice in 1953 to signal the stop of fighting as civillian casualties outnumbered those lost in war which in a sense caused the koraen War to stop.

Historically, Korea's biggest problem has been the lack of resources. Even today, the small population and very limited natural resources have stunted its growth into a real world power. If borders were taken down between North and South Korea, the population would nearly double, thus doubling its human resource factor. A country of 70,000 people would put it on more even footing with the 100,000+ population of Japan as well as the obvious benefit of expanding its territory and exploitable resources. With Korea's huge, newfound educated population, expansion of territory and resources, knowledge of how to expand economically, and eventual total control of the economy by big-businesses in Korea's group-oriented culture, Korea would eventually become a world power, most likely usurping the spot of either Japan or Germany amongst the world's top four economies.
Although it would likely eventually be displaced by countries with enormous populations such as Brazil, Mexico, or Russia and it is highly unlikely it will ever be able to attain the sheer force of the future economic juggernauts of USA, China, and India, a unified Korea would enjoy a short-term position nearer to the top of the economic ladder and possibly the most economically equal society in the world.
Obviously, this is good for Korea.
