This is the first time the enemy label hasn't appeared in the defense ministry's white paper since 2010.
That year, the North was accused of attacks that killed dozens of South Koreans, mostly navy sailors.
The change is a sign of improving relations between the two countries.
In the past, North Korea called the label a sign of South Korea's hostility.
But the defense document still says North Korea's weapons program is a threat to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The revised white paper's publication comes amid reports of a second possible summit between the U.S. and North Korea.
