Kim and Oh (2001) reported the existence of implicit (nonconscious) prejudicial attitudes toward South and North Korea by South Koreans and by North Koreans who voluntarily defected to South Korea, although the two groups showed no difference in explicit (conscious) forms of prejudice. This study followed up on the explicit and implicit attitudes of South Koreans initially reported in 1998, by assessing the attitudes shortly after the North and South Korea Summit held in June 2000, as well as 2 years later (2002). A substantial reduction in South Koreans' explicit negative attitudes against North Korea was found shortly after the summit, but the reduction waned 2 years later, relative to the initial data reported in 1998. In contrast, little change was observed in implicit pro-South attitudes across the 3 different times. The implications of these findings for Korean unification are discussed
