Empfinden es Süd-Koreaner als Beleidigung, wenn man fragt ob sie aus Nord-oder Südkorea sind?

In vielen Fällen sagen Süd-Koreaner nur, dass sie aus Korea sind. Also wenn man sie fragt, wo sie herkommen.

Empfinden die das als Beleidigung, wenn man fragt, welches Korea?

If a Korean says he’s coming from Korea, he’s pretty sure a South Korean. A North Korean would tell you he’s coming from North Korea. For he has reasons not to tell you where he comes from, but then he will lie to you anyway. The demand for the country is therefore not necessary. But I don’t think insulted.

If a tourist from Korea comes to the West, it can be natural that he has never heard of North or South Korea, because in their national languages they call themselves both Korea. Just as Taiwan actually calls itself China, or the Republic of China and the actual China is called the People’s Republic of China. This is the case with North and South Korea, the North is called the People’s Republic of Korea and the South Republic of Korea. To avoid confusion, we say in the west Taiwan and China and North and South Korea.

This is impossible because it rarely happens to the South Korean that comes from the North and indeed that can be an insult because the two countries also have the name North Korea and South Korea

It always happens that people can escape from North Korea.

And even if such a conversation does not take place in Korea, for example in Germany, such a question is quite plausible.
It’s insulting for the least.

therefore the name North Korea and South Korea

By the way, these are not the official names, but are only used for simplicity.

“Republic Korea” is the official name of South Korea.
“Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” is the official name of North Korea.

What happens?
A little context wouldn’t be bad.

After replying to my comment with an arbitrary word for 3 seconds, it is not very purposeful.

The opportunity to meet Koreans from North Korea is extremely low
to impossible, because we are not allowed to leave the country so well ( … ).
All of them come from South Korea.

I don’t know, everyone feels different. But in the special case, I assume that this is already an insult if you want to call it that way.

Probably not.

Within South Korea (in the north you don’t come in), you’ll probably look evasive.

Outside of Korea, for example in Germany, it would probably be a relatively normal question.

At times of the former GDR, I was often asked if I came from East Germany or West Germany. I never felt that as an insult, but rather as an interest. I don’t think it’s different with Koreans.

The question is generally unnecessary because the chance to meet a human from North Korea is practically equal to zero.

I was in the U.S. a few times and there some had no idea that Germany is not just Bavaria and “East Germany” or anything else. That’s right.

But you’d have to ask Koreans themselves if they’re exposed to such questions and how they’ll get to them.
