Bridge of No Return

The Bridge of No Return was a crossing point between North and South Korea near the Korean War armistice line. During negotiations, prisoners of war had to decide whether to stay in their current country or switch sides. Once they crossed the bridge to the other side, they could not go back—hence the name. It symbolized the finality of their choice and the tense division of the Korean Peninsula. The bridge remains a powerful reminder of the conflict, representing the difficult decisions faced by prisoners and the ongoing separation of families and nations.
