north korea has also been allowed to keep one village inside the dmz — the village of kijong.thought to live there now. so we call it propaganda village, largely because we can observe that many of the windows and doors are actually painted on some of the buildings. oh, yeah, you can see some of the buildings here, right? can you? yeah. can you see the windows that are painted on or are you looking at a building that actually has windows? i'm not sure. it's hard to tell! given the north koreans have decided to abandon this village and they don't have people living there, why do you keep people living here at such obvious costs to you guys and such risk? many people believe that both taesung dong and kijong dong exist in the hope of one day reunifying the korean peninsula. failing that, perhaps one day it could pave the way for the normalisation of relations between the two koreas. what would happen if it disappeared? it would be a very strong symbol, right, that the terms of the armistice are no longer being enforced. as we're preparing to move on, we're alerted to a threat. w
