The old style is stil used in North Puppet.(북귀)

I once saw a NK website (they do exist!) using word '로어' for Russian, whereas SK use 노어 (러시아어 is much more common though).
It cannot apply to all the words of course.
이 may be written 리 but never 니 (surname).
I think this Roh guy was in mastership long time ago, so you use the old spelling.
Or maybe, well, they thought it would be awkward to call him 'President No', like the person above me suggested.
nevertheless the pronuntiation is 노, and not 로.

By the way, I don't see how the NK is getting rid of hanja vocabulary.
로어 camoes from hanja.


I don't think getting rid of hanja is even possible -

That would result into splitting Korean to two languages : true Korean - as everyone speaks it, and Pure Korean - which is barely understood.
Just like with Hindi, and pure Hindi.
Sorry for changing the topic, but I felt the urge to write it.
