The North and South Korea have always had differences on the division of boundaries of the western waters of the Korean Peninsula. South Korea has demarcated a maritime dividing line between the “Five Islands of the West Sea” including Yeonpyeong Island and the western coast of North Korea, called the “Northern Boundary” and the North Korean side does not recognize this. North Korea announced in 1999 at seaCinemaThe military dividing line Cinema is far south than what South Korea calls the “northern boundary”, and South Korea does not recognize it.
The Korean People’s Army issued a report: The concepts of “ethnicity” and “same ethnicity” have been deleted
Since 2024, the situation on the peninsula has suddenly become tense. In the Cinema report released by the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army on the 5th, the concepts of “ethnicity” and “same race” have been deleted. South Korean media believe that this statement from the North Korean military is consistent with the changes in the “route to South Korea” mentioned by Kim Jong-un at the beginning of the new year.
Kim Jong-un said that the relationship between North Korea and South Korea is no longer a homogenous relationship, but is completely fixed as a two-state relationship, a two-warring country in the Komiks war.
Analysts believe that the confrontation between North Korea and South Korea in 2024 may continue. If both North and South Korea misread or exaggerate the interpretation of each other’s intentions, it is entirely possible that the Babaylan local Komiks war may be more serious.
