In what ways did the two koreans grown apart

North and South Korea have grown apart as a result of their vastly differing ideologies. North Korea is a communist country with very strict restrictions on the movement of its citizens.  The North Korean regime is well-known for its cruelty. South Korea, on the other hand, is a democratic country with an open-market economy. In a nutshell, both North and South Korea have radically different political and economic systems. They have been two nations for over sixty years.
