<br/><br/> The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or North Korea has long prided itself on its growth and development in the guiding shadow of the Kim dynasty and Kim Il-Sung’s Juche ideology. However, North Korea’s media stopped mentioning the Juche dates on their publications from 13 October 2024. It was also observed that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has recently reduced the mentions of his predecessors, such as in key national holidays, which were created to honour them. While Kim Jong-Un is known for his unique approach to ruling, these measures are momentous for DPRK henceforth. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/32/commentary/dprks-deviation-tradition.html<br/>
