[KS] North Korea says multiracialism is poison

[Joerg Plassen]

Dear Vladimir, 

having read your inspiring comments and enjoyed the overtones, a perhaps
somewhat innocent follow-up question from a non-specialist: 
Interested in the ideological underpinnings of the NK use of the Tan'gun
myth, I recently came across the terms "hy*olt'ong" (as used also by Sin
Ch'aeho) and "tanil minjok". - Is the latter only related to the
Japanese post-war concept of "tanitsu minzoku" (which would make up for
another nice twist), or can the usage of this term be traced back
further?  

Best, 
joerg
