For decades, North Korea’s formal stated goal was a communist reunification of the peninsula. Now it’s reclassified South Korea as a “hostile state” at the earlier recommendation of Kim Jong Un.
North Korean state news agency KCNA on Thursday reported for the first time that the country had revised its constitution to define South Korea as a “hostile state.”
The change took place last week at a meeting of the country’s rubber-stamp legislature. It follows a proposal from Kim Jong Un in January, but past propaganda on revisions to the constitution had offered few details.

Somewhere in the North Korean constitution
“South Korea =
Hostile StateHostile State”^Look everybody! They’ve redefined South Korea as a “hostile state”!
Oh wait, nobody cares.
They’ve been upgraded from “Separatist occupied territory” to “hostile state”, recognising them as a sovereign nation-state with all the geopolitical implications that carries.
A yes the weekly north Korea nothingburguer
Yes, imperialism is hostile. It murdered millions of koreans and created the current division. It’s not just some smarmy joke.
Did they sign an actual peace treaty at some point?
No. This is spin for some audience – although I don’t know who.
I think they’re just generally signaling stronger alignment with Russia and China and rejecting reunification.
Yes that nation that we were still in a state of war against is a hostile Nation. Real strong wording there Kim
