In 2008, a South Korean tourist was shot by North Korean soldiers at the Mount Kumgang Tourist Region.
The head of the government-funded Korea Institute for National Unification, Kim Tae-u, proposed that the South Korean government renegotiate the Mount Kumgang Tourist Region with North Korea without any official apology from North Korea over the ROKS Cheonan sinking and the Bombardment of Yeonpyeong.
Despite the ongoing tension, the Taep'oong has proposed a co-operative solution to the remaining assets of South Korean Hyundai's Mount Kumgang Tourist Region in North Korean territories.
