This article examines the content of North Korea’s juche ideology by
analyzing official texts in comparison with Confucian classics and
new religious movements in South Korea. The comparison
revealed a series of similarities that vividly demonstrate that juche
ideas have absorbed core elements of Korean and East Asian
philosophical traditions.
