Occasionally, international politics play an essential important role in the establishment of these forbidden places – Kijŏng-dong (Peace Village) is an excellent example of that. Situated inside the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. Kijŏng-dong is often called the propaganda village as it consists of; furnished houses, clean streets, and organized planning. These are tactics to try to persuade the other side that they are doing well. But, on closer investigation, the village seems to be deserted with windows painted on, and the main objective is to also reassure the outside world that all is going well in North Korea.
