Description: A Korean People's Army Lieutenant Colonel in the Joint Security Area. His decorations include a Kim Il Sung lapel badge, Order of the National Flag 2nd class (awarded for at least 20 years service in the Korean Workers' Party) and two Medals For Military Service. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the 4km wide buffer zone separating North and South Korea is rather ironically, anything but demilitarized. Both countries are still technically at war, the ceasefire and armistice that ended the fighting were never followed with a formal peace treaty.
