I think they used to want reunification, until they saw what happened to Germany.

The last thing South Korea wants is an influx of North Koreans to support

But I don't think Germans regret their reunification . Sure there's a lot to pay. Maybe about a generation time to re-educate the North Koreans and have them or their children adjust to free life. Even maybe more for developing the North infrastructure. But the long term gain is there. Anyway reunification should be about nationalism first and economic last I think.

South Koreans have gone complacent I think. They just want to enjoy good life.
