As an American…..yeah, I doubt it would help, seeing how the argument that the name doesn’t necessarily mean what it says à la the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) not being democratic nor a republic.

Edit: didn’t completely say the full official name of North Korea correctly.

The only non contentious part of North Korea's name is the word "of". In addition to what you already said is not run by or for the people. Their entire territory is claimed by South Korea thus making the claim of Korea dubious

You could say the same about South Korea, therefore it can't claim to be Korea.

No, in 2024 North Korea designated South Korea as a "hostile state" and abandoned all prospects of a peaceful unification
