Yes, Korea officially became two separate countries in 1948. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) was established on August 15, 1948, followed by the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) on September 9, 1948. This division followed the end of Japanese colonial rule after World War II and the subsequent Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union.
