perpetuating = for good = for good and all = for ever = permanent = eternal = perennial = everlasting = perpetual = continuing = unending = immortal 영원한, 영속적인

After matches, many North Korean athletes would not even exchange nods with their southern counterparts. Some even refused to shake hands. A North Korean coach told South Korean journalists not to call his country North Korea or the northern side. He urged them to use the North’s official name: the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
경기 후 많은 북한 선수들은 남한 상대 선수들과 목례조차 나누지 않았다. 일부 북한 선수들은 악수를 거절했다. 한 북한 감독은 취재진에게 자국을 북한이나 북측이라고 부르지 말라고 했다. 그는 우리 취재진에게 북학 정식 국명인 ‘조선민주주의인민공화국’을 사용하라고 압박했다.

However, while announcing the results of an inter-Korean soccer match, the North's state-run Korean Central Television described the South as a puppet instead of the Republic of Korea (ROK) or even South Korea. In the 1960s and ‘70s, South Koreans called North Korea the northern puppet.
그러나, 두 한국 사이의 축구 경기 결과를 발표하면서 북한의 국영 조선중앙방송은 남한을 대한민국이나 심지어 남조선도 아닌 ‘괴뢰’로 묘사했다. 1960~70년대 남한 사람들은 북한을 북쪽 꼭두각시라고 불렀다.

It was a far cry from the Asian Games in Indonesia in 2018 when the two Koreas fielded unified teams in certain events, including table tennis. It appears that the inter-Korean relationship has regressed several decades in just five years.
이는 두 한국이 탁구 등 특정 종목에서 합동팀을 내보냈던 2018년 인도네시아 아시안게임과 정반대 모습이었다. 남북관계가 지난 5년간 수십 년 전으로 퇴보한 듯하다.
