Please elucidate. Does “tongil” stand for a movement of unification of North and South Korea?

In the SK military it used 2b when you were called to attention, everybody would sound off with, “Unification..!”

And that’s, “Tongil..!”

I don’t know if they still do that, but if you didn’t with great gusto, you’d be in trouble.

It’s “Reunification” in Hangul. The ROK Army soldiers would say it when saluting officers at Camp Red Cloud when I was at I Corps (ROK/US) Group headquarters.
