South Korea’s President Yoon Labels Two Koreas Theory as Threat to National Unity

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has sharply criticized the “Two Koreas Theory,” labeling it an unconstitutional notion that neglects the nation’s duty to pursue peaceful reunification under liberal democracy, as outlined in the Republic of Korea’s Constitution.

During a Cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office on September 24, Yoon addressed emerging voices within certain political factions advocating for a halt to reunification efforts. “Voices have suddenly emerged within certain political circles calling for a halt to the pursuit of reunification,” Yoon stated. He continued, “Many of those who used to speak of reunification as if it were the goal of their lives have abruptly shifted their stance to align with North Korea’s Two Koreas Theory, which I cannot comprehend.”

Yoon further elaborated, “These individuals suggest abandoning reunification in favor of peace, proposing to eliminate the Ministry of Unification and remove constitutional provisions regarding the territory of the Republic of Korea and the pursuit of peaceful reunification. In a situation where North Korea threatens nuclear attacks and advocates for a hostile Two Koreas Theory, can we truly consider a peaceful Two Koreas Theory feasible?”

He concluded by emphasizing the risks associated with abandoning reunification. “If we abandon reunification, the conflict and confrontation between the two Koreas will become more intense, and the security risks on the Korean Peninsula will increase,” Yoon warned.
