> I never thought I'd see this happen.

Why? Societies/nations/etc always change. Given the state of NK, what's shocking is that it didn't happen sooner.

> I'm not incredibly familiar with the situation as it stands, but is re-unification a legitimate possibility?

Reunification is inevitable just like it was between east and west germany. The only question is when.

In the meantime, if all goes to plan, it looks like the koreas + US/China are going to officially end the korean war and relations between north korea and south korea + US are going to be normalized and we will ostensibly get the "unofficial" end of the cold war. Of course the biggie being north korea giving up their nukes.
