Tháng 5/2026, bộ Thống Nhất Hàn Quốc, với Sách Trắng Thống nhất, lần đầu tiên đưa ra quan điểm coi quan hệ giữa Seoul và Bình Nhưỡng là « quan hệ giữa hai Nhà nước ». Chính sách trên đây của Seoul được đưa ra trong bối cảnh Bắc Triều Tiên vừa sửa đổi Hiến pháp, từ bỏ mục tiêu thống nhất và phân định rõ lãnh thổ hai miền Nam - Bắc. Theo nhiều nhà quan sát, Hàn Quốc đang bị đặt trước áp lực phải sửa đổi triệt để Hiến pháp để cải thiện quan hệ với chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên, trong bối cảnh mọi nỗ lực ngoại giao không mang lại kết quả, kể từ thất bại của thượng đỉnh Kim Jong Un – Donald Trump ở Hà Nội năm 2019. *** Đã hơn bảy thập niên kể từ chiến tranh Triều Tiên (1950-1953), đối với đông đảo người dân Hàn Quốc, hai miền Nam Bắc tuy thuộc về hai chế độ khác nhau nhưng vẫn là một nước. Chủ trương tái thống nhất hai miền cũng được ghi rõ trong Hiến pháp Đại Hàn Dân Quốc năm 1987. Đối với xã hội Bắc Triều Tiên, lý tưởng tái thống nhất nằm trong học thuyết chính thống của chế độ họ Kim. Bắc Triều Tiên từ bỏ chủ thuyết tái thống nhất: « Một cuộc cách mạng » Việc chế độ Kim Jong Un chính thức sửa đổi Hiến pháp từ bỏ mục tiêu tái thống nhất, coi Hàn Quốc là một quốc gia nước ngoài, là một thay đổi triệt để, kết thúc chủ trương thống nhất hai miền, được chính quyền hai bên đồng thuận với Tuyên bố Chung Nam - Bắc ngày 04/07 năm 1972 (The July 4 South-North Joint Communiqué). Theo điều 2 của Hiến pháp Bắc Triều Tiên, được sửa đổi hồi tháng 3/2026, « Lãnh thổ CHDCND Triều Tiên được xác định là vùng đất giáp với CHND Trung Hoa và Liên bang Nga ở phía bắc, và Cộng hòa Triều Tiên ở phía nam, bao gồm lãnh hải và không phận được thiết lập trên cơ sở này ». Mấy dòng chữ ngắn ngủi đang mang lại một đảo lộn. Trả lời trang mạng chuyên về Bắc Triều Tiên NK News, có trụ sở tại Seoul, chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên Andrei Lankov, Đại học Kookmin, Seoul, và giám đốc nhóm chuyên gia tư vấn về bán đảo Triều Tiên Korea Risk Group, coi đó gần như là « một cuộc cách mạng »: « Bước đầu tiên là từ tháng 12/2023, Kim Jong-un bắt đầu thay đổi giọng điệu. Ông bắt đầu nói rằng việc thống nhất, ý tưởng về sự thống nhất, là một sai lầm. Tuyên bố này gần như là cách mạng, bởi vì nó làm suy yếu một phần tính chính danh của chính lãnh đạo Bắc Triều Tiên, vốn được thừa hưởng từ cha và ông nội mình, khi nói rằng sứ mệnh của họ đã thất bại, là sai lầm. Về cơ bản, ông nói rằng những gì mà họ từng tin tưởng là sai. Trong một thời gian dài, lý tưởng thống nhất này được trình bày như một sự kiện hạnh phúc (happy event) sẽ giúp giải quyết mọi vấn đề của đất nước. Như thể đó là mục tiêu cuối cùng của lịch sử. Điều này đúng với ít nhất là ở Bắc Triều Tiên và cả ở Hàn Quốc nữa, dù ở mức độ thấp hơn. Cánh tả triệt để ở Hàn Quốc vốn rất ngưỡng mộ ý tưởng này. Họ thậm chí còn tạo ra một lý thuyết gọi là “hệ thống chia cắt” (theory of the divided system), theo đó mọi vấn đề của xã hội Hàn Quốc về cơ bản đều là các hậu quả của việc đất nước bị chia cắt. Đột nhiên vào tháng 12/2023, Kim Jong-un tuyên bố rằng điều đó sẽ không xảy ra, rằng đó là một sai lầm. Xin nhấn mạnh rằng điều ấy cũng giống như việc nói với các tín đồ Thiên Chúa giáo rằng họ không nên chờ đợi ngày Chúa tái lâm nữa. » Xóa sạch các biểu tượng hướng đến tái thống nhất tại Bắc Triều Tiên Sau tuyên bố tháng 12/2023 của lãnh đạo Bắc Triều Tiên, chế độ Bình Nhưỡng đã thực thi hàng loạt biện pháp nhằm khẳng định đoạn tuyệt với đồng thuận hai miền về tái thống nhất tồn tại từ hơn nửa thế kỷ. Ngày 15/01/2024, Kim Jong Un ra lệnh phá hủy tất cả các biểu tượng thống nhất liên Triều, bao gồm cắt đứt vĩnh viễn các tuyến đường sắt nối hai miền.

Các tượng đài thống nhất khác trên toàn quốc bị phá hủy, các khẩu hiệu liên quan bị xóa bỏ. Kể từ đầu năm 2024, Bình Nhưỡng xóa bỏ các từ như « thống nhất », « hòa giải », « đồng bào » khỏi sách giáo khoa. Tháng 2/2025: Trung tâm đoàn tụ gia đình ở núi Kim Cang (Kumgang), nơi từng tổ chức các cuộc đoàn tụ cho hàng ngàn gia đình bị chia ly kể từ Chiến tranh Triều Tiên, bị phá hủy. Tháng 5/2025: Đại sảnh Thống nhất tại Bàn Môn Điếm (Panmunjom), nơi từng diễn ra các hội nghị thượng đỉnh liên Triều năm 2018, bị đổi tên. « Tái thống nhất hòa bình » : Ảo ảnh đồng sàng dị mộng Trước khi chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên cắt đứt với chủ trương tái thống nhất, đối với nhiều chuyên gia, lý tưởng này một mặt quá xa rời với thực tế, nhưng mặt khác lại được coi là điều bắt rễ sâu trong cả hai xã hội miền Nam và miền Bắc. Chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên Andrei Lankov mô tả tình trạng mâu thuẫn cao độ khi tâm lý « tái thống nhất hòa bình » là ảo ảnh đồng sàng dị mộng : « Bắc Triều Tiên, ngay từ khi thành lập, luôn xem mình là một phần của một quốc gia bị chia cắt. Lập trường chính thức của Bắc Triều Tiên luôn là chính phủ Cộng hòa Dân chủ Nhân dân Triều Tiên là chính phủ hợp pháp duy nhất trên toàn bộ bán đảo Triều Tiên. Họ xem nhà nước, mà ta thường gọi là Hàn Quốc, chỉ là một phần lãnh thổ của nước Triều Tiên. Trong một thời gian dài, theo quan điểm đó, chính quyền Hàn Quốc không được xem là chính phủ của một nước có chủ quyền, mà chỉ là một tập đoàn phản bội được Mỹ nuôi. Điều thú vị là lập trường của Hàn Quốc về cơ bản là hình ảnh phản chiếu lập trường của miền Bắc (mirror image). Họ nói rằng CHDCND Triều Tiên thực chất không tồn tại, rằng đó là một thế lực phản quốc và về cơ bản quân đội Bắc Triều Tiên chỉ là một băng nhóm tội phạm và khủng bố, theo quan điểm chính thức. Và sớm hay muộn, Đại Hàn Dân Quốc cũng sẽ tái thống nhất đất nước, lý tưởng nhất là thông qua đàm phán hòa bình, ít nhất trên giấy tờ là như vậy. Thành thật mà nói, điều đó từ trước đến nay chẳng khác gì một ảo ảnh, hay có lẽ chỉ là một màn hỏa mù. Tôi nghĩ rằng bất kỳ một chính trị gia ở Nam hay Bắc mà thực sự tin vào điều đó thì hoặc phải cực kỳ điên rồ, hoặc rất ngây thơ. Nhưng luận điệu đó lại rất hiệu quả đối với công chúng mang tinh thần dân tộc chủ nghĩa, và chủ nghĩa dân tộc là một sức mạnh cực kỳ lớn ở cả hai miền. Đó là một phần của truyền thống có từ lâu đời. » Đọc thêm - Hòa giải Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên : Những cơ hội bị bỏ lỡ và hy vọng Chính sách « Hai Nhà nước » của BTT gây phân hóa cao độ tại Hàn Quốc Việc chế độ Bình Nhưỡng đoạn tuyệt với chính sách thống nhất hai miền gây phân hóa sâu sắc trong chính giới Hàn Quốc. Bộ trưởng bộ Thống Nhất Hàn Quốc Chung Dong Young là người đứng ở tuyến đầu. Từ mùa hè năm ngoái, bộ trưởng Thống nhất Hàn Quốc liên tục đưa ra các phát biểu cổ vũ cho việc công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên là một quốc gia độc lập, cùng lúc không từ bỏ chủ trương thống nhất, được ghi trong Hiến pháp. Trong một hội thảo hồi tháng 9/2025, bộ trưởng Chung Dong-young nhấn mạnh « hai miền Triều Tiên là hai quốc gia riêng, xét theo luật pháp quốc tế, và chính trị quốc tế », đã gia nhập Liên Hiệp Quốc bằng con đường riêng, và điều quan trọng là « chấm dứt sự thù địch giữa hai bên ». Dân biểu Ahn Cheol Soo của đảng đối lập cánh hữu PPP cáo buộc bộ trưởng Chung Dong Yong vi phạm Hiến pháp, khi công nhận lập trường về hai nhà nước trên bán đảo Triều Tiên, vì Điều 3 của Hiến pháp Hàn Quốc định nghĩa lãnh thổ Đại Hàn Dân Quốc bao gồm toàn bộ bán đảo. Lãnh đạo nhóm dân biểu đảng PPP, Song Eon Seok, cảnh báo rằng việc công nhận hai nhà nước sẽ làm đảo lộn quy chế pháp lý của những người tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên đang sống tại Hàn Quốc, bởi việc Hiến pháp quy định lãnh thổ Hàn Quốc bao trùm toàn bộ bán đảo cho phép công nhận mọi người dân tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên là công dân Hàn Quốc. Đọc thêm : Vì sao Bắc Triều Tiên bỏ mục tiêu tái thống nhất với Hàn Quốc ? Về vấn đề này, bản thân nội bộ chính quyền của tổng thống Lee Jae Myung cũng phân hóa cao độ. Ngoại trưởng Cho Hyun và cố vấn An ninh Quốc gia Wi Sung Lac bác bỏ việc công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên như một nhà nước độc lập, riêng biệt. Tuy nhiên, nhiều áp lực gia tăng buộc chính quyền Hàn Quốc xem xét sửa đổi Hiến pháp, với lý do chính, là chỉ có như vậy mới có thể tái lập được đối thoại thực sự với Bình Nhưỡng. Sửa Hiến pháp để thừa nhận thực tế, để có thể đối thoại với Bắc Triều Tiên Trong một cuộc tọa đàm về chính sách đối ngoại tại Seoul, ngày 03/12/2025, giáo sư Moon Chung-in, nguyên cố vấn an ninh của tổng thống, cho rằng Hàn Quốc cần xem xét sửa đổi điều 3 và điều 4 của Hiến pháp, do việc giảm bớt quy mô cuộc tập trận Hàn–Mỹ không đủ để thay đổi lập trường của Bình Nhưỡng. Ông dự đoán chỉ khi nào Seoul bắt đầu thảo luận công khai khả năng sửa đổi điều khoản về lãnh thổ, Bình Nhưỡng mới có thể quay lại bàn đối thoại. Hàng loạt nhà nghiên cứu hàng đầu về bán đảo Triều Tiên coi việc xem xét sửa đổi Hiến pháp để công nhận hai nhà nước trên bán đảo Triều Tiên là một hướng đi nghiêm túc, và quyết định nói trên của Bình Nhưỡng không chỉ là một thay đổi về chữ nghĩa hay một thủ đoạn chính trị, mà có những nền tảng xã hội sâu xa. Chuyên gia Andrei Lankov nói đến việc thu nhập chênh lệch quá lớn giữa hai miền Nam Bắc (gấp đến gần 30 lần), khiến việc thống nhất đe dọa sự tồn vong của chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên (tỉ lệ này ước tính từ 1:2 đến 1:3 giữa hai nước Đức, trước khi tái thống nhất năm 1989). Nhà nghiên cứu Kevin Gray, giáo sư Quan hệ Quốc tế - Đại học Sussex, Anh Quốc, trong công trình công phu « Quan hệ liên Triều và sự kết thúc của chủ trương thống nhất hòa bình: một cách tiếp cận về xung đột xã hội » (tháng 3/2026), nhấn mạnh đến nghịch lý là, sự thù địch giữa hai miền càng trở nên gay gắt chính do bởi niềm tin gượng ép vào một sự thống nhất, một dân tộc chung, mỗi bên xác định bản sắc của mình bằng việc biến bên kia thành ác quỷ (« define their self-identity through demonising the other Korea »). Những trở lực: Đảng cầm quyền không đủ đa số, vai trò của liên minh Mỹ - Hàn Việc sửa đổi điều 3 và điều 4 của Hiến pháp Hàn Quốc liên quan đến lãnh thổ và mục tiêu thống nhất đang vấp phải một trở lực lớn do việc đảng cầm quyền không có đủ 2/3 số ghế trong Quốc Hội. Một dự án cải cách Hiến pháp của tổng thống Lee Jae Myung, đưa ra cách nay ít tuần, bất thành do bị đối lập tẩy chay. Đề xuất sửa đổi Hiến pháp công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên, bị đối lập cánh hữu phản đối dữ dội, thậm chí đã không được đưa ra. Giới chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên ghi nhận sự đối lập sâu sắc, trong chính giới Hàn Quốc, khó hy vọng có được thỏa hiệp, giữa hai phe - « phe tự lực » (self-reliance camp), coi đối thoại liên Triều là con đường chủ đạo dẫn đến hòa bình, trong khi « phe liên minh » (alliance camp), coi quan hệ đối tác Hàn Quốc-Hoa Kỳ là nền tảng, để đủ sức răn đe Bắc Triều Tiên (bài « Reassessing South Korea's Foreign Policy Divide Under the Lee Administration » của Lakhvinder Singh, The Diplomat). Nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Khang, Đại học Boston, Mỹ, nhấn mạnh đến vai trò của nhóm làm việc Hàn Quốc-Hoa Kỳ phối hợp về chính sách đối với Bắc Triều Tiên và Bộ Tư lệnh Liên Hiệp Quốc (UNC) tại Hàn Quốc, với nòng cốt là Mỹ, khiến chính quyền Seoul khó chủ động xác lập chính sách về Bắc Triều Tiên (« Những trở ngại trong nước đối với chính sách Triều Tiên của Lee Jae-myung », The Diplomat, tháng 1/2026). Thế nan giải chiến lược của Hàn Quốc : Bị kẹt trong quan niệm nửa thế kỉ trước Trong thời gian gần đây, đã diễn ra một thay đổi chưa từng có kể từ hơn nửa thế kỷ nay trong quan hệ giữa hai miền Nam Bắc bán đảo Triều Tiên. Lần đầu tiên, chế độ Bình Nhưỡng sửa đổi Hiến pháp, từ bỏ mục tiêu thống nhất hai miền, khẳng định miền Bắc và miền Nam là hai quốc gia riêng biệt. Chính giới Hàn Quốc bị đặt trước áp lực phải thay đổi. Trong lúc chính quyền của tổng thống Lee Jae-myung có nhiều nỗ lực hướng đến cải tổ triệt để chính sách với Bắc Triều Tiên, việc thay đổi Hiến pháp, để làm cơ sở pháp lý cho điều chỉnh này, đang là điều bất khả trong hiện tại, đặc biệt do bị coi là khó tương thích với liên minh Mỹ - Hàn. Vấn đề quy chế cho người tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên cũng là một trở ngại lớn. Đọc thêm : Hiệp định Quân sự Toàn diện bị hủy và nguy cơ xung đột vũ trang liên Triều Nhiều chuyên gia, chính trị gia, nhà quan sát cảnh báo rằng, nếu tiếp tục để bị kẹt trong đòi hỏi chủ quyền và lý tưởng thống nhất như từ nửa thế kỉ trước, chính quyền Seoul và xã hội Hàn Quốc có nguy cơ rơi vào thế bị động kéo dài trong chiến lược với Bình Nhưỡng. Đây là điều đặc biệt nguy hiểm trong bối cảnh biến động địa - chính trị dữ dội, thế đối đầu giữa các đại cường Mỹ - Trung ngày càng khó lường, xu thế chạy đua vũ trang gia tăng có thể khiến căng thẳng trên bán đảo Triều Tiên bùng phát thành xung đột, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh chế độ Bình Nhưỡng tăng cường hệ thống vũ khí hạt nhân và hạ ngưỡng sử dụng vũ khí hạt nhân.

In our annual check-in with renowned mastering engineer Kevin Gray, he reflects on a very busy 2025 that included his Rhino High Fidelity versions of Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks' long-out-of-print Buckingham Nicks. How did Gray and fellow mastering engineer Chris Bellman feel about Rhino releasing separate versions of Buckingham Nicks mastered by each of them? Gray also discusses the Rhino High Fidelity John Coltrane: 1960-1964 Mono box, for which he revisited some albums he'd previously mastered in stereo. Gray's RHF version of T. Rex's Electric Warrior followed the label's reel-to-reel tape release of that album—which should sound better? Of course, we had to address the hullabaloo sparked by Gray's comments on Caropop a year ago criticizing the One Step pressing process. Was he surprised? Does he feel vindicated? Other topics covered: Gray's Blue Note Tone Poet work with producer Joe Harley; the jazz albums Gray is recording and releasing on his Cohearent Records label. What's in store for 2026?

Running a boutique audiophile label is not easy, as Shane Buettner has learned in the 10 years since he founded Intervention Records. There are licensing agreements to be negotiated, artists to please, mastering engineers and pressing plants to be engaged, vinyl formulation and cover design to be arranged, plus marketplace changes and ever-increasing competition to be navigated. The label's first release was Stealer's Wheel's debut, with standout pressings featuring Joe Jackson, Judee Sill, Matthew Sweet, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Peter Frampton, Everclear and others to follow. With so many labels jumping into the audiophile pool, has licensing recordings become harder? What dictates pricing? Do Buettner's customers care more about 180-gram vinyl or tip-on jackets? And how did he land Intervention's new Sun Records deal, with Kevin Gray-mastered 45 RPM releases from Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash on the way?
In December of last year, the then South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol - of the right-wing People Power Party - attempted to impose martial law on the country in what was described as a 'self-coup'. Kevin Gray joins PTO to talk about his recent article in the New Left Review on the Korean far-right. We chatted about the background to the attempted coup and the history of the Korean far-right and broader conservative currents. Kevin explained the far-right's roots in the Japanese occupation of Korea and the role of the United States in supporting those conservative elements that collaborated in Japanese rule. We also talked about how the far-right has developed a capacity for large-scale, militant street protest and why it is that young Korean men are increasingly supportive of the far-right.

The Rhino in the room can't be ignored: after decades in the vault, Buckingham Nicks is finally getting a reissue. eCoustics Editors Eric Pye, Jeremy Sikora, and producer Mitch Anderson team up with mastering engineer Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) to dig into why this cult classic vanished, why it's back now, and what it means for fans who've been chasing scratched LPs for years. Along the way, we get into the bigger picture—the state of the reissue market, the future of vinyl cutting, and why Fleetwood Mac drama still drives the mythology around this record.

In this episode of Shoving Wilco, we sit down with music journalist and author Bob Mehr to explore the HiFi resurrection of Wilco's debut album, A.M.. Thirty years after its original release, A.M. is getting the audiophile treatment as part of Rhino's HiFi series — and it's never sounded better. Bob joins us to talk about the making of the album, his liner notes for the reissue, and how A.M., once seen as a modest debut, now shines with new dimension and clarity.Go here to get the record. Below is Todd's Discogs review: Unreal how good this is. Kevin Gray's work here is absolutely stunning. I've heard A.M. in every format—CD, stream, vinyl—for most of my life, but I've never heard it like this. Instrument separation is razor sharp, and Jeff's vocals are undeniably front and center—as they should be—but everyone else is brought forward too. It's cohesive and full without sacrificing presence. No one feels tucked away. This isn't a nostalgia trip. This is A.M. finally getting the respect it deserves sonically.

Joe Harley oversees some of the best jazz vinyl rereleases around as producer of Blue Note's acclaimed Tone Poet series. Harley picks the titles, and, as he did with the much-coveted Music Matters series, he preps each release with ace mastering engineer (and recurring Caropop guest) Kevin Gray. Here Harley reflects on how he went from growing up (and playing drums) in Nebraska to preparing audiophile versions of albums he loves. What criteria does he use in choosing the Tone Poet albums? How do he and Gray work together? Has the mastering process changed given that more listeners own high-end audio systems now? How do Harley and Gray evoke such three-dimensional soundstages? How did he get the nickname the Tone Poet? And does he still get excited the first time he hears an original master tape of one of these classic recordings?
Attorney George Smith is a highly respected and well-known attorney throughout the State of Alabama. As most attorneys in the state know George, I have known him by reputation, and this is really the first time for me to speak in depth with him. George is a graduate of the University of Alabama School of Law and he also received an LLM in tax law from the New York University School of Law. Following that, he clerked in Washington DC for a judge on the U.S. Tax Court for two years before returning back to Huntsville to start his law practice. George has practiced with large Alabama law firms throughout his career. He has been at Bradley since 2012. As you'll hear, even with his impressive background, George is easy to talk to and I can well imagine that his clients appreciate the skill and practicality he brings as he represents them. Since George has practiced in “big law” for his entire legal career, we also discussed a number of his friends and colleagues that are also very prominent lawyers in Alabama to include Pat Graves, Frank Caprio, Bartley Loftin, David Holt, Kevin Gray, Chris Hinson and Joe Ritch. I enjoyed getting to know George on this episode of the podcast and I think you will like his humble and up-tempo spirit!
It's time for our fourth annual check-in with masterful mastering engineer Kevin Gray as he comes off yet another crazy-busy year. What new did he and Doors engineer/producer Bruce Botnick think they could bring to the instant-sellout Rhino High Fidelity box The Doors 1967-1971? Which Rhino High Fidelity album doesn't make sense to him as an audiophile release? Among Rhino, Blue Note and Craft's Original Jazz Classics, which label works far in advance, and which one keeps him rushing? Is he still learning anything after all these years? How does he plan to balance his mastering work with his own Cohearent Records label— and what key role did his granddaughter play in the upcoming album from saxophonist Cory Weeds? And which expensive type of release does Gray consider to be “an absolute scam foisted on the buying public”?
