Is that open and shut? Wikipedia says (in Hangul#Orthography):
Today however, hanja have been almost entirely phased out of
daily use in North Korea, and in South Korea they are now mostly
restricted to parenthetical glosses for proper names and for
disambiguating homonyms.
> but it can also be written in pure Hangul (North Korea),
Since the two Korean-speaking states disagree on this point, I am
concerned that setting the Suppress-Script to "kore", the South
Korean usage, would smell political.
If I don't know what I'm talking about, feel free to tell me.
