 What happens when a young idealist from South Korea takes a job managing a dining facility in one of the most unusual workplaces in the world — the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex in North Korea? In “Commuting to North Korea,” author Kim Min-ju offers a rare, firsthand look at the clashing mentalities of northerners and southerners, the daily struggles of workers on both sides and the tightly controlled environment of the joint venture meant to bridge a divided peninsula. Though limited in scope, Kim’s account sheds light on the complexities of inter-Korean cooperation and the human stories behind the headlines. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
