FLYING YANGBAN CALLS FOR LABOR EXCHANGE BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA But he concludes that such a program, whatever its benefits, is not likely to be pursued.

Of course, a labor-exchange program will never happen. That level of interaction between normal Koreans would increase pressure on both Korean governments to honestly pursue unification, which neither wants to do.

It makes South Korean sweatshop owners happy.
