The profound influence from the United States,China,Russia, and Japan can actually be seen in the Peninsula today. Ever since the establishment of “two Koreas”, “Reunification” has long been the supreme guideline for both sides of the peninsula. Except for “Korea War” in 1950, both countries have respectively proposed their unification policies under the principle of mutual benefit. Due to the efforts of international communities, “two Koreas” have reached many substantial consensuses, including the Korea Summit in 2000, which set the milestone for possible future cooperation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of unification policies between “two Koreas”, focusing on South Korea''s “The Korean National Community Unification (KNC) Formula” and North Korea''s “Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo(DCKR)”. The two Koreans unification formulas were the difference, in particular, between “two states” and “one state” that had long characterized the fundamental gap that the two Koreas have found to be difficult.
