On 4 January 1951 a Chinese and North Korean offensive forced the government and the South Korean and UN forces to leave Seoul again, and many refugees fled south.
Counter-attacking, they retook Seoul in March 1951. The front then moved back and forth near the 38th parallel, and armistice talks began in July 1951.
