Civic groups in South Korea have rallied against the concept of a two Koreas framework, instead advocating for a unified Korea based on democratic principles, freedom, and human rights. The One Korea Unification Rally was held at the National Assembly prior to the National Liberation Day holiday on August 15. Organized by Citizens Solidarity for One Korea, the event brought together lawmakers, civic activists, North Korean defectors, and academics to emphasize the importance of overcoming the country's division.
Organizers argued that discussions of maintaining two separate Koreas could result in the permanent division of the Korean Peninsula and called for reunification based on constitutional principles.
