Although North and South Korea are two countries, the Korean Peninsula will eventually be unified.

Seoul says North and South Korea are two independent countries but the Korean Peninsula will not be permanently divided!

South Korean Minister for Unification Jeong Dong-young said that North and South Korea are actually two countries at present, but the Korean Peninsula will not be permanently divided.

"South Korea and North Korea have long been actually two different countries. Recognizing the existence of two countries and recognizing each other's national status does not mean recognizing permanent separation."

"At least 50-60% of respondents believe that North Korea is an independent country, this is the reality, many citizens acknowledge the North as a country, from the perspective of international law and the international community, the South and the North also represent two different countries."

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-lae, Director of the National Security Office of the South Korean Presidential Office, stated that the South Korean government does not support the two-state solution on the Korean Peninsula, "The government neither supports nor recognizes the two-state solution. The relationship between the South and the North will be described as a special relationship with temporary nature until unification. The Constitution of the Republic of Korea stipulates that the entire Korean Peninsula is included within its territory."
