DMZ DMZ border history and North South defection scenes
The Joint Security Area in the DMZ remains a tense border site with Panmon Hall in the North and Freedom House in the South. Defections have occurred multiple times, including a 1998, 2007, and a November escape, while past events such as the 1976 tree-cutting clash and Captain Bonifas’s death underscored the volatile history. About 700 U.S. and Korean troops guard the area as presidents including Clinton visited.
