I don’t know how they even would tbh, South Korea is living in the 21st century, North Korea in the 18th
They’re practically living in different worlds

The Kims had entertained ambitions to conquer South Korea, capture its industrial base and add its surviving population to the labour camp work force. Perhaps the pace of progress in Ukraine has caused them to reevaluate the feasibility of this.

Lots of new infrastructure and trade agreements are being done in NK. They’re likely to catch up to South Korea in a 2-3 decades.

China, Russia, etc. NK is a nuclear power sitting on lots of rare earth metals. It’s extremely likely to grow its economy significantly over the next few decades.
I wonder how much the current US administration being who they are has to do with this.
Previously, North Korea's line was that the South was occupied or controlled by colonialist America, meaning they'd always refuse to "reunite" with the one true Korea. But, Trumpian politics and government, especially the apparent friendliness towards the Kim dictatorship democracy, if not some level of imitation of it, have removed the last remaining reason to believe that the South is under US control.
Therefore we might surmise that the North have finally accepted that, no, the South have been doing things their own way for a long time and the US influence, if there ever was any, has long since gone away.
And so there's no need for any reunification in their constitution. The South is too far gone. Written off as a total loss.
OR. This is some kind of double-bluff and they're hoping the South will let their guard down and they have the concepts of a plan to have the regime take over Seoul.

S Korea is very capitalist and is within US influence. They host US bases and weapons.
It’s been a democracy for about 40 years. Before that it was under the rule of a US puppet regime/military Junta.

you said new trade agreements ?
Catch up South Korea in 2-3 decades? Man, I wish I was this dumb.
The world sucks so much that even North Korea is giving up on its dreams
gave me a rare chuckle in these grave times.
