Something like 2 or 3 years ago Kim announced they are tuning down military expenses because nukes made them safer. I don't know for sure if they really did, but this looks like a response for this, and exactly in time needed to demobilise some military.

    Earlier this year Korea announced it was abandoning it's policy of unification stating that unification is impossible while the South is occupied by the USA. This seems to be an expansion of that policy change, likely based on recon.
