North vs South Korea: What Makes These Neighbors So Different?
Marching in Protest or Parade
Parades in North Korea are grand state events held in Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung Square, featuring military displays and mass performances that glorify the regime. Protests are rare and highly discouraged. In South Korea, citizens often gather in places like Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square for both protests and parades.
These lively events serve as a platform for public expression, allowing people to bring their concerns to the government. South Korea’s democratic environment encourages active civic participation, contrasting sharply with the tightly controlled, orchestrated events in the North.
