This study investigated the portrayals of two Koreas in Chongryon Korean language textbooks using critical discourse analysis and visual image analysis. The findings show that the textbooks portray North Korea (its political ideologies such as the pre-eminence of Kim Il Sung and his glorious anti-Japanese guerrilla activities, need to visit his birth place) predominantly in quantity and in quality in the texts and images, showing their strong attachment to North Korea. On the other hand, South Korea is depicted twice and its role was minimal and its foucs was on the glorification of North Korean regime and the superiority of Chongryon organisation over Mindan. North Korea is always described as their nation, Joguk, with South Korea sometimes being included in the term only where the whole Korean peninsula is depicted. Chongryon only projects South Korea as the place of hometown, so they can visit with North Korean identity, no need to affiliate themselves to it. Doing volunteer work for North Korea is considered patriotic and greatly rewarding.
