This study examines how 2 major South Korean newspapers ( Chosun Ilbo and Hankyoreh Sinmon ) represent—specifically through framing—North Korea's national image during the 2‐year period (from 2001 to 2002). To conduct this research, framing analysis was used for analyzing media texts as a research method. According to findings, although reporting North Korean issues, the South Korean newspapers considered the relationship with North Korea and the peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula. That is, although covering North Korean issues, South Korean news media concern and reflect on their relations with the issues and political and cultural structures of their society.
