Is it true South Korean citizen can't visit North Korea?

I just wanna ask whether is it true South Korean citizen can't get through or visit that country. Why?Is it true South Korean citizen can't visit North Korea?
In general, no, South Koreans may not simply visit North Korea. This is a condition imposed by North Korea rather than South; if NK were to lift the restriction (not any time soon, for sure) then SK would quite easily reciprocate.





There are exceptions such as the special Mt. Kumgansan tourist program in which visitors are tightly sealed against contact with North Korean people other than highly trained guides and guards. Other special cases include the limited number of workers in the industrial zone at Kaesong, a very few elderly South Koreans who have been allowed to visit long-separated relatives (but, this usually took place at Kumgansan), or (rarely) performance groups such as traditional dance troupes, sports teams, etc.





Foreigners other than South Korean may be allowed to enter, after gaining special permission and mostly likely after having offered a bribe to some NK official in China. They may visit Pyongyang (off-limits for South Koreans) but even so are constantly watched by special guides assigned to each tourist.Is it true South Korean citizen can't visit North Korea?
North Korea is a closed state. They do not allow visitors, except for a few exceptions.


They will allow families to visit under very controlled situations.


The North is a slave state and keeps its people under very tight controls.


No one can just go to visit North Korea.
They can but they may only stay in certain area and have a tour guide from North Korea like all other foreigners. On the news recently have been a South Korean tourist shot to death in N. Korea for crossing out of the boudary for tourists.
They can't visit unless they have special work or are part of a special program, which occasionally let people visit.





Both countries worry about spies and there are bad feelings about how each other governs.
I'm S.Korean. Most of South Korean can't get there.


Because here is armistice situation yet.


I think almost South Korean don;t know how are them.

North korean also can't come to south korea.
It is true. North Korea is a closed state and does not allow anybody in unless you have special permission.
That's why they call it the ';Hermit Kingdom'; Nobody goes in and no one gets out alive.
