Read the paper more closely. I do not know if they use it, but they do have access through the Kaesong industrial region.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaesong_Industrial_Region), Hyundai built it, so they know of its existence.
Actually, unification might make this less attractive, as wages likely would rise in the North, changing the economics of doing this kind of stuff (I guess a bit in the way the abolition of slavery changed economies)
overall the article is bang on, the only people that benefit is north koreans and maybe south koreans but give the reunification a few decades or more, the end result is a shift of the status quo of regional power for neighboring countries.
