North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for constitutional changes designating South Korea as the "number one hostile state," signaling the end of the regime's commitment to Korean peninsula unification. In a speech to North Korea's parliament, Kim accused the South of seeking regime change and unification by stealth. The announcement led to the closure of three agencies overseeing inter-Korean relations. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol condemned North Korea's stance, labeling it "anti-national." The shift marks a departure from decades of reconciliation efforts, raising concerns about heightened tensions and potential use of nuclear weapons.
