Capital of Unified Korea

I don't know why this topic came out when thinking of our class today - the Changdok palace. The first topic of the debate in talking class was that whether I should get back the power from Japan if I were a king in Chosun dynasty under Japanese rule. The next topic was about a proper city if I can move the capital of Chosun. And then the topic moved to 'Where would be the proper capital if Korea is unified?'

We should first think HOW Korea would be unified. South can absorb North or can be absorbed by North. Or, we can be unified just perfectly, North and South being just equal.(But this is actually impossible.) If South Korea absorb, we can then discuss what we should do. In this case, when simply thinking, I think Seoul, the most developed city in Korea, is the most appropriate capital. But this is actually a bit complicated. If Seoul becomes the only capital in unified Korea, numbers of people will gathered in this place and maybe it can't stand that large amount of popularity. Maybe at first, we should limit North people to come down south preventing the excessive density in the capital so the city can have stability. In addition, North people can adjust to different culture slowly.

Even though we can say it is impossible, but just for guessing, if Korea is unified equally - which means that South and North have same power - , we should make two capitals, Pyeongyang and Seoul. But this can't be forever. Anyway the government(or the president) is only one, and capital should be just one. That's why capital is called capital.

Well, when absorbed by North, there's no option. It means that our property would be taken by North government and Pyeongyang would become the capital. But before that, maybe there would be a war(maybe Korea War II?).

Actually, there was another topic after this, and that was more fundamental than the former. Should we be REALLY unified? There was also an opinion that South Koreans should bear all the taxes for making the economical balance with North. And another person refuted to that argument by saying, 'then can you put a price on your ethnicity?'(actually, however, I think this wasn't an appropriate objection - or a way of speech) We can't comment on one's ethnicity in this topic, but it is sure that we can't say yes or no about this topic. Aside from financial problem or anything else, Unification is a must, and an essential assignment for Korea. Unification is not a retreat, but an advance.
