Here is a question for you,
I think the obvious situation is to give it back to South Korea, but the question is, Would South Korea want it's northern half back?
Would it be beneficial to South Korea to pick up North Korea and pump hundreds of millions of dollars into it to modernize it? How about the people themselves? South Korea would be responsible for feeding another 30M people, as well as educating them etc. Not to mention the sudden flood of immigrants to centers like Seoul and Busan could lead to employment problems.
What gains would South Korea make in the long term of allowing North Korea back? Would these gains outdo the losses? Can North Korea ever meet South Korean standards? Would Korea as a whole ever recover from a unification?
And, if it was your choice, how would you do things?
