Singura zonă din Coreea de Nord unde Coreea de Sud a avut acces. Ce s-a ales de Complexul Industrial Kaesong, unde lucrau 53.000 de muncitori

The Kaesong Industrial Complex, established in 2004, was a collaborative economic project between North and South Korea. It aimed to utilize North Korean labor for South Korean companies, fostering economic ties. However, in 2016, South Korea suspended operations due to concerns over North Korea's nuclear program, leading to the complex's closure. Initially, the project showed promise with thousands of workers and numerous companies, but it ultimately faced challenges, including sanctions and political tensions. The closure resulted in significant financial losses for South Korean firms.
