Something something... free markets... capitalism--no! Not like that!

ROK had three main advantages that allowed it to be more prosperous than DPRK:

  1. It wasn't mostly destroyed by the US during the war.
  2. It has plenty of plains suitable for farming while DPRK has steep mountainous terrain.
  3. It wasn't sanctioned or embargoed.

Other events like the fall of the USSR and a major flood have also set DPRK back.

It will be interesting to watch if DPRK becomes the more prosperous nation long-term due to socialism simply being a better economic system and what this will mean for future reunification. But I am getting ahead of myself.

It likely means they don't want to legitimize the state formed so that US and its puppet dictator could go on to on to level every "North" Korean city, killing 15% of the population because gobunism bad

South "Korea" is about as real as Taiwan. They exist only to serve as Vassal states for the US.
