That's where there's not a fence between the north and south, but a literal line dividing the two. It's a really tense place to be, but it's so interesting to actually see North Korean and South Korean soldiers in very close proximity. I wish I was in Korea now. SIGHS! I hope you had fun. :)</p> Hey I have been there too!! ha ha ha But what you’re referencing about the conference rooms is called the JSA or the Joint Security Area.
