> the war was won by the communists and since then, the entire Korean peninsula has remained united under the rule of the Korean Workers’ Party.

This makes me wonder what the reasoning is, or even if they officially do, for preventing North Korean citizens from migrating south? If it's all united as one country then why would someone be prevented from moving there?

From what I understand about North Korea - simply moving within (actual) NK itself is not really on the cards for a lot of people, so they might as well claim sovereignty over the whole peninsular.

Yeah, my initial thought was something along the lines of all actions are subject to the approval of the party.
