We do have a precedent that suggests an answer.

Early in 2017, China imposed harsh economic sanctions on South Korea,
especially targetting Lotte Department Stores in China and South Korea
with a boycott, in retaliation for president Park Geun-hye allowing
deployment of the THAAD missile system in March.

Then president Moon Jae-in took office in May, after an election
campaign promising to end THAAD deployment, and to develop closer ties
with North Korea.  But then North Korea conducted a new series of
ballistic missile tests.  As a result, Moon abruptly reversed policy
and approved the deployment of four more THAAD launchers.

So China was undoubtedly pissed off at Moon for allowing the
deployment of more THAAD launchers, but they must also have been
extremely pissed off at North Korea for provoking Moon to do so.

Kaesong can be closed again as easily as it was opened.  The land
corridor can be closed again as quickly as it was opened.
Unfortunately, if North Korea launches a massive attack on Seoul, the
land corridor and a few mines would make little difference.

So I see Moon's overtures in the same way that I see Trump's meetings
with Kim Jong-un.  Trump keeps saying what a sweet, wonderful guy Kim
is, but nobody believes that Trump believes that or that Moon believes
it either.

Korea's last generational crisis war was World War II, not the 1950s
Korean war, so the Boomer generation would be the same age as in the
West, and the generation you're talking about would correspond to the
Gen-Xers.

However, you're right that there's a lot of desperation and
self-delusion among the people of Seoul, and I don't blame them, with
tens of thousands of missiles facing them from 50 miles away.  Many of
the older people also still remember family members across the border,
and they would favor reunification for that reason.

Lol!  So let me see.  You hate Koreans in their 40s-50s, and you hate
Korean teenagers.  But you love "younger South Koreans."  So I assume
that you and your girlfriend are your 20s, and it seems you hate
everyone else.

"Guest" must have been booted. There are plenty of "Incels" -- boys who relate more easily with computers than with human beings (I make an allowance for homosexuality, but they are incapable of dealing with the capriciousness of other people, no matter what country in which they live*. Artificial intelligence is now so good that it can simulate the perfectly-compliant woman, and pornography offers the myth of a compliant and willing partner+ -- in all cultures. There is a cure -- get fit, get a job, and get involved with something other than a computer... even if it is a dog. You will need to caress it and walk it, neither of which one can do adequately if one's fingers are on a keyboard. 

IT has created jobs, but it has also isolated us ever more. We need to take breaks from it in recognition of its unreality.  

...

*South Korea is the country most completely connected to the Internet, and more connection to the Internet would be a good thing for much of America, especially the rural South, where many people are isolated within their communities. 

+Pornography of all kinds traffics in comforting stereotypes and sexual unreality.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
