North Korea is not serious about reunification with South Korea.

When North Korea showed interest in reunification with South Korea it seemed obvious that Kim Jong Un would not dismantle their nuclear missile program because once reunification took place then the country would have it's own nukes for national security.

When picturing reunification it would mean North Korea would be able to adapt the prosperity of the South. Therefore, a First World country would ultimately result and would rival it's neighbors, hence, the ambitions of Kim Jong Un would include not only being president of the North, but, also the South with a Korea that had it's own nuclear capacity.

With so many undisclosed nuclear sites, it seems obvious the North is not serious about reunification, otherwise, all this would have been openly apparent to the South and of course, it's allies.

The newly identified Sino-ri facility is one of the oldest in existence and was used for the first deployments of Pyongyang’s Scud missiles and its Nodong medium-range ballistic missile, according to Monday’s report....
