Dear Ruediger Frank:
 
Sarah Kim, researcher of  the Federal Research Division at the Library of Congress, found this figure a while ago.  
 
Kim, Doo Sub. "The transition of population in Korean Penninsula, 1910-1990: Comparison of South and North," Korea Institute for Peace Affairs, 5, No.4, December 1993, 209.
The population of North Korea in 1945 was estimated at 9,135,000.
 
Hope this is of use.

Dear list members,

I am looking for data on the population of North Korea around liberation, i.e. in 1945, 
before the migration towards the South started. My estimate would be around 7-8 millions. 
Any hint is highly appreciated.

Best,

Ruediger Frank
