Likewise, South Korea is very hierarchical--there are specific terms and linguistic forms used if addressing someone older or younger. None of this exists in North Korea.
fucking bothers me that someone will read this response and because it's an AMA that they will take this for a fact, despite that the OP plainly admits to not being able to speak Korean. it's inconceivable that North Koreans don't use these same terms. it's ingrained in the language itself. if you actually had the faintest idea, you'd know that it'd be a stunningly ridiculous concept that somehow in 50~60 years North Koreans have completely abandoned this aspect of the language.
