Hong Un-jong and Lee Eun-ju are both gymnasts competing in the Olympics 2016. Here they are before their event, taking a selfie.

Hong Un-jong is from North Korea and Lee Eun-ju is from South Korea. There is a militarized border between the two countries who are technically at war with each other, 160 miles long and built in 1953, the zone is one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world.
