In 2021, free government support from the South Korean government to North Korea valued around ** million South Korean won. This was a significant decrease from the previous year's government support.
According to the source, this free support first started in 1995 when North Korea asked for support to the rest of the world while going through a period of severe famine. The South Korean government continued to support North Korea since then with a humanitarian mindset, although the amount of support was impacted by the different South Korean presidents that were in office.
