Amid North Korea’s widespread erasure of South Korea, it has been confirmed that the Unification Station on the Pyongyang subway line has been simplified to just the Station.

The Russian Embassy in North Korea shared photos of embassy staff touring the Pyongyang subway on Facebook on the 20th, along with news about the tour.

A photo taken by the Russian Embassy of the subway line map displayed on a monitor inside the Pyongyang subway revealed that Unification Station, located between Sungni Station and Kaesong Station on the Chollima Line, was simply marked as the Station.

This appears to be related to Kim Jong Un’s abandonment of the kinship relationship with South Korea and his widespread erasure of South Korea.

North Korea embarked on a widespread erasure of South Korea after Kim Jong Un declared at the Workers’ Party Central Committee on December 30 last year that the relationship between North and South Korea was not a kinship relationship but a hostile relationship between the two countries. That unification with the Republic of Korea could not be achieved.

Under the leadership of North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sun Hee, they immediately began to reorganize and reform pro-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 dissolved.

They also cut off access to pro-South propaganda media such as Uriminzokkiri and Echo of Unification and stopped broadcasting pro-South broadcasts such as Pyongyang Broadcasting.

The erasure of South Korea is being detected in all areas, including marking only the northern part of the Korean Peninsula in red on the globe at the bottom of the cover of Geumsugangsan. This magazine introduces North Korea’s society, culture, and history, starting from the February issue.
