ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the interrelation between language and identity formation and consider how ideology becomes relevant. Chongryun's legitimate language has secured its social reproduction by functioning as an action-coordinator by occluding elements of fiction in its North Korean identity. The legitimate discourse of Chongryun constitutes the North Korean identity, while at the same time it is devoid of the capacity to critically reflect on this identity. The newly projected identity of "overseas nationals" of North Korea unified the first-generation experiences preceding Chongryun's emergence. Without a homeland connection or even a prospect of it, overseas nationals no longer plays any role in the discourse of heroism. Instead, it becomes the discourse of realism. The fruit is the fruit of the systematically reproduced legitimate identity of Chongryun. The seed is the seed of the new self-knowledge, new identity of emancipation. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
