김정은 정권 10년의 ‘혁명활동’과 대남혁명노선 변화의 의미

Abstract

In December 2011, with the death of Chairman Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un took over the power and entered the 10th year this year. However, due to the recent ‘triple pain’, the North Korean regime is facing a very difficult time both internally and externally. Nevertheless, it can be said that it is very characteristic that the support for Kim Jong-un has shown a steady upward trend over the past period. In addition, at the 8th Korean Worker’s Party Congress in January last year, when the Party Bylaws were revised, the party's immediate and final goals, which were written in the preamble, were revised. It can be an important background for developing a relationship. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the current status by analyzing the political phenomenon of the 10 years of the Kim Jong-un regime, and how to evaluate the amendment of the current purpose of the Party Bylaws at the 8th KWP Congress, which can be read as a change, based on the existing research hypothesis. Therefore, I would like to analyze the data on <News of Revolutionary Activities> on the website of ‘Uriminzokkiri’, which North Korea has compiled by itself over the past 10 years. Activities related to South Korea are not included in this item, so we analyzed the changes in the South Korean issue after the suspension of nuclear and long-range missile tests during the Kim Jong-un era. At present, it is not easy to detect signs that the North Korean system is unstable. It seems right to evaluate that the Kim Jong-un regime is finding stability as time goes by. However, it seems that changes due to the recent corona pandemic will need to be confirmed at a later date. In addition, as a result of analyzing 1,785 articles on <News of Revolutionary Activities> by Kim Jong-un, it can be confirmed that the amount of activity has decreased compared to the past. This can be seen as a decrease in the amount of activity revealed because Kim Jong-un's influence and control over the North Korean system has been secured. North Korea's change in inter-Korean relations was revealed as a modification of the immediate purpose of the preamble to the Party Bylaws. At least in the light of the existing hypotheses of our society, because the conditions have changed, a change in the hypothesis has become inevitable. However, the most important thing is not the change in the sentence, but the level of trust in inter-Korean relations. This is because, if you can trust North Korea, the proportion of accepting changes in the North Korean Party rules can vary to that extent.
