The aim of the paper is to forecast regional distribution of North Korean migrant in South Korea after sudden unification. There is a assumption that a pattern of North Korean migration follows that of South Korean based on 1970-1980s. Physical as well as psychic distance is taken into forecasts of the migration from North Korea to South Korea at regional level. In addition, disparity of income between South Korean and the migrant is considered for migration-forecast of North Korea. For one year after the unification of Korea, 2.1~14.6% of total population in North Korea would move to South Korea. 54% of migrant would move to Soul metropolitan area and Pyeongannam-do would be most suffering region for population-drain.
