What this guy is pushing is far more in agreement with US administration policy than what the opposition supports. The problem is that the South Korean population doesn't support what either he or the US want. For example, the SK population (and recent presidents) have far more of a peaceful attitude towards the north than is tolerable for the US. As an example, when polled on supporting Ukraine (after the rumors that NK is sending support to Russia), South Koreans are 82% against it. https://www.reuters.com/world/south-koreans-remain-opposed-sending-arms-ukraine-2024-11-27/ https://www.reuters.com/world/south-koreans-remain-opposed-s... 6 day old story, btw.

Hmm, weird. I run one of the larger korean music platforms and interviewing Koreans I'd have said the opposite with regards to the North-- that is, they do not want to reunify and it's the furthest thing from their minds beyond that they hate the draft. I noticed even the North doesn't seem to be eying reunification seriously either, taking steps to destroy monuments like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Reunification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Reunification earlier this year.
