Nerd sniped me enough to look it up. Both countries use different names for “all of korea.” While the north generally refers to itself with the same term as all of korea, there are some contexts where there is a “north Korea” used.
Sorry if I didn’t explain it well. What I mean is that dprk considers itself the “true” government of the Korean peninsula, and their terminology generally reflects this. Due to the functional reality of the ongoing conflict, “South Korea” is used often. Though it’s used rarely, “North Korea” (literally north, functionally “unoccupied” or “free”) does still show up occasionally in language.
There is no North Korea in North Korea. There is only Korea.

The fuck’s wrong with you? Look at the pic, all of Korea is red.
