You were confused? In this story about democratically electing parliaments and presidents, you needed it clarified whether they were talking about North Korea or South Korea?
It is quite common for people to refer to South Korea as just korea as I’ve heard time and time again. There is also the fact that in this context, the south is implied even just in the post title alone.
They’re referring to South Korea, but trying to push the narrative that there is only 1 korea.

Both Koreas agree that there is only one Korea. Everything else is different between the regimes but they agree on that point.
In South Korea, they just call it Korea.
Like people from the USA call their country just “America”.
Both Korea’s think they’re the only correct Korea. Nothing new under the sun.

There’s one Korea. Part of it is occupied by terrorists though.
