If DPRK is field testing their missiles in Ukraine that lets them confirm that they can effectively bypass NATO defences, and that's a nightmare for the occupied Korea. (www.thedrive.com)

This is more to help keep unnecessary active awareness of non-state actors away from our work whenever members of the PDP travel abroad, in addition to avoid the stigmatization that comes with Koreans being communists in a world where the DPRK exists as one of the most propagandized AES states on earth.

Imagine being a Korean, and when telling someone about your ethnicity they without fail in the first sentence ask "North Korean or South Korean?" or some variant along those lines. Other than that being a part of my and many korean-american's lived experiences, it serves as a constant reminder that Communist Korea exists as a constant in the minds of nearly everyone in the West. It does pay to be careful sometimes lol.
