The Joint Security Area (JSA) is the only portion of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) where South and North Korean forces stand face-to-face. It is often called the "Truce Village" in both the media and various military accounts.
The JSA is used by the two Koreas for diplomatic engagements and, until March 1991, was also the site of military negotiations between North Korea and the United Nations Command (UNC).
Republic of Korea (ROK) soldiers stand guard at the JSA between the blue buildings. All three face the North. The two ROK soldiers on either side are deliberately obscuring half of their bodies. This is both to offer a smaller target to DPRK troops, and to allow them to signal discreetly to the South if required.
