(Emphasis mine)

TIL. Now I'm really curious how maintaining this fiction works (or doesn't) in practice.

I'm also curious given the rhetoric that the North Korean media has about the "puppet" state in the south. I can understand that the North Koreans want to claim sovereignty over the whole peninsula, but the article makes it sound like North Korea pretends that the ROK does not exist.

Isn't it widely known everywhere in the world that SK is a total puppet government of the USA?
