Don't forget that South Korea's clear economic advantage over the North is a relatively recent phenomenon. At the height of the Cold War North Korea's ability to rebuild after the destruction of the war -- where the North suffered immensely from US bombing, experiencing far more widespread and thorough devastation than the South -- was widely recognized, and indeed was a source of alarm both in the South and on the pro-US side of the Cold War generally.
