The Korean Central TV announcer broadcasted, “The quarterfinal match between the Korean women’s soccer team and the puppet team was held on September 30,” and the word ‘Puppet’ was also displayed on the Korean Central TV screen.
In this match, the South Korean women’s soccer team lost 1-4 to the North Korean team.
North Korea has usually called South Korea ‘South Korea’, and has usually referred to it as ‘South Korea’ in inter-Korean sports competitions, but it is unusual to use the name ‘puppet’ for South Korea.
In a situation where inter-Korean relations are not good, North Korea appears to have used the downgraded name ‘Puppet’ rather than ‘South Korea’.
Separately from this, North Korea has recently occasionally used the name ‘Republic of Korea’ in Kim Jong-un’s speeches and various discourses, but it is believed that the intention is to emphasize the two countries rather than respect for South Korea or to incite South-South conflict through this. It is becoming.
