As North Korea continued to erase South Korea since the beginning of the year, it was confirmed that only the North of the Korean peninsula was marked on the cover of North Korea’s domestic and foreign promotional monthly magazine, Geumsugangsan.

On the globe, at the bottom of the cover of the February issue of Geumsugangsan, a magazine that introduces North Korean society, culture, and history, only the North of the Korean peninsula was marked in red. This is a change from marking the entire Korean peninsula until January.

Kim Jong Un stated in his New Year’s address at the end of last year that “North-South (South-North) relations are no longer fraternal, homogeneous relations, but hostile relations between two countries, two countries at war,” and directed to “reorganize and reform organizations in the to-South business sector, including the Unification Front Department.”

Since then, under the leadership of North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Sun Hui, work has begun on reorganizing and reforming to-South organizations, and last month, the North Korean Committee for the Implementation of the June 15 Joint Declaration and the North Korean Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country’s Unification were reorganized.

In addition, they disconnected access to to-South propaganda media such as “Uriminzokkiri” and “Echo of Unification” and stopped broadcasting to-South broadcasts such as Pyongyang Broadcasting.

North Korea also edited the documentary film about Kim Jong Un’s activities last year to only show the North of the Korean peninsula in red, and the edited documentary film has been aired since the 10th.

In addition, North Korea has revised the national anthem lyrics from three thousand ri, which means the entire territory of North and South Korea, to this world. It is removing images that remind of the Korean peninsula from various websites.
