In this commentary, Hyeong Jung Park, Emeritus Research Fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU) provides us with an overview of inter-Korean relations in 2021. While there have been no summits or direct negotiations between the two Koreas, rhetorical tension was persistent throughout the year. Nonetheless, there were no provocations that crossed the red line. Dr. Park claims that it can be said that North Korea had been buying time while enhancing its capabilities to defend the nation. The author additionally provides five key variables to consider in preparation for the New Year.
