Will you always be able to access your data stored on North Korean soil?
Sure, if it's properly encrypted, the North Korean government may not be able to access it, but nothing's stopping them from cutting you off and holding your data hostage.
I used to work for a company that made software for casinos. Many of them were on tribal land, and refused to use any cloud services because they didn't want any of their data on American soil. All their software was on-prem, all their data was on-prem. If Uncle Sam came a-knockin' with warrants and court orders, they'd tell him to take it up with the tribal elders.

Raw data we use for image processing at work (we will miss it if it's gone) is stored in three locations: server room, another server room in a different building, and on the cloud. Properly-as-of-2021-encrypted, of course. Unless we really fuck something up with securing our storage servers or running a script that accidentally wipes it all at once, it's really hard to imagine a scenario under which all of that is gone at once. If the cheapest and most reliable cloud storage provider was in North Korea, the only reason I wouldn't use them is the reaction I'd get from Very Important Privacy Peoples when they hear of it. (And also because I don't want to fund a criminal totalitarian regime responsible for sending people to the Gulag).
