After 75 years of this so-called "pause" in the Korean war, South Korea's finally stepping up with a game-changing proposal: a full-on peace treaty that could let both sides coexist without the constant threat of Armageddon. The war never officially ended—just armistice limbo since 1953—and now Seoul's unification ministry is pushing for a declaration to kickstart real talks, easing tensions in a powder-keg peninsula.
