PREPARATIONS are under way in Pyongyang for a rare congress of the Korean Workers’ Party which rules North Korea, the first to be held in 36 years, on May 6th. It is something of a coming-out party for Kim Jong Un, its young dictator, who succeeded his father in 2011 and early on promised prosperity to his people, as well as leisure for its young. South of the border, President Park Geun-hye has been appealing to South Korean youth with the idea of unification as a “bonanza”; seventy years on from the peninsula’s division, most are disinterested in the idea. For the North, whose minuscule economy is roughly 40 times smaller than that of the South and is only beginning to show signs of reform, that would certainly be the case.
