Current tensions between South Korea
and North Korea are higher than they've been in years.
These hostilities continued for a simple reason,
the Korean War never ended.
When combat stopped in 1953,
no peace treaty was ever signed.
Just a ceasefire, which continues to this day,
leaving the two countries separated by the
D-M-Z, or Demilitarized Zone, filled with
high voltage fence and over one million land mines.
And along this no man's land, there is just one point
where these enemies can stand face to face,
the JSA or Joint Security Area.
Here the border between North and South Korea
runs along a concrete curb and bisects
blue conference rooms where the two sides have
occasionally met for diplomatic talks.
The JSA has more often been the sight of
hundreds of acts of violence and provocations.
Given this situation I could think of no
two better people to visit the JSA than
Conan O'Brien and Steven Yeun.
(laughter)
Well, we are in the DMZ.
This is surreal.
That is North Korea right there, those
are North Koreans staring back at us.
