Usage notes
While some North Korean defectors claim that this is an exaggerated or even a made-up form, this is probably because the majority of defectors come from northern areas of the Korean peninsula, and are speakers of Yukjin or Northern Hamgyong variants, which instead use the, or  forms. Among defectors from Pyongan speaking areas, some appear to consider this form old fashioned or quaint.
