Yes, in North Korea, the Pyongyang dialect is standard, and there are differences in terms (e.g. Chosŏn’gŭl instead of Hangul, a term often translated as “American imperialist bastards”, etc.)
Well, for starters, I heard ROK is way more likely to have English loanwords, while DPRK, if must borrow, takes loans from Russian or Chinese loanwords
I’m not sure there are any languages with speakers separated by a barrier (either political or natural) that don’t have accents/dialects altered due to geography.
Definitely, it’s just interesting to see such a stark divide put in place so recently (on a linguistic timescale), few better examples to see how a language diverges in real time
Are there differences in accent or dialect between the Korean spoken in the North and the South?

Ooh I like that.

Well, now I have questions about East and West Germany…
Don’t they have different accents? I’m pretty sure they did even before the war, no? Prussia and Bavaria had different accents, for example.
