The North stated 60 years ago this will never happen. I've heard nothing since that changes this.
I wish them the best of luck, it's a genuine quagmire. I can't imagine how this will ever resolve.
North Korea did drop reunification as their goal from their constitution.
Its possible North Korea has accepted that reunification will never happen any time soon, and would rather keep control of the swath of land and captive peasants they currently hold.
Additionally, South Korea is facing an apocalyptic fertility crisis that will already end the country if they don't effectively open up to immigrants and make life easier for the average Korean. Since their country is infected with terminal capitalism, we probably won't see that, but ending the war reduces stress.
The moment the war ends, the questions begin.
I think they've changed the supreme leader a couple times since then. The new guy may be more amenable to the idea.
