South and North Korea have long believed that “unification of the Korean peninsula” is one of the national policies. However, in the latest talks recently made by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, South Korea is rarely referred to as the “Republic of Korea”. This makes South Korean analysts believe that North Korea It is very likely that the government has identified “South and North Korea” as “one country on each side”.

In the past, when North Korea announced the two-Korean issue, it often referred to South Korea as “South Korea” and North Korea as “North Korea”, which implies “unification”. However, according to Japan’s “NHK” and “Yonhap News Agency”, Kim Yo-jong, who is currently in charge of the two Koreas and foreign affairs, directly referred to South Korea’s official country name “Republic of Korea” in conversations on the 10th and 11th of this month, instead of It is “South Korea”.

Many South Korean media, including Yonhap News Agency, agreed that Kim Yo Jong called the “Republic of Korea” this time, changing the previous term “South Korea” that regarded South Korea as the object of unification. “One country on each side” officially regards South Korea as “another country”. “Hankyoreh Daily” also believes that this may be a signal that North Korea has raised the relationship between South and North Korea from “international relations” to “state relations”. In addition, South Korea’s Ministry of Unification also pointed out that Kim Yo-jong’s conversation this time is also the first time North Korea officially refers to South Korea as the “Republic of Korea.”
