North Korea Deletes Expression of 'Unification' from Non-Foreign Long-Term Su's Call

It has been confirmed that North Korea has deleted the unified word from the title of non-directed Jang Ki-su according to the "two hostile state theories."

The Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korean State Councilor Kim Jong-un spent his birthday celebrating the 80th birthday of non-native long-serving Ri Jae-ryong, who was repatriated to the North in 2000, and described Ri as an "indomitable patriotic fighter."

Until November last year, North Korea called non-directed Jang Ki-soo a unified patriot in the Rodong Sinmun, but it seems that the unification word has been deleted from the title in accordance with Kim Jong-un's order to erase the traces of unification.

Earlier in December last year, Chairman Kim Jong-un said at a plenary session of the Workers' Party that he would no longer see South Korea as a reunification partner, defining inter-Korean relations as two hostile countries, and has since deleted expressions reminiscent of unification.
