As a peculiar vestige of the Cold War, South Korea maintains a shadow government for ceremonial purposes of five South Korean officials, who collect South Korean government salaries, as the shadow representatives of five North Korean provinces. These positions were first established in 1949 before the Korean War and have been maintained until this day. These politicians play a purely ceremonial role in meeting with North Koreans and their descendants living in South Korea—there are an estimated 8.5 million Koreans of North Korean descent in South Korea.
It should be pretty obvious at this point that the President is NOT the most powerful man in the world and probably doesn’t even know whoever is.
Yep. Look up the Korean shadow government
You mean this?
