Perhaps more harsh is that the entire population of NK cannot just defect south. A few people have managed. The only path would be an uprising and that will only work if it includes the military personnel and security apparatus. I never understand why those folks are ok doing what they do and being the tools of dictators against even their own family. But time and again we're shown people will do their job to the bitter end.
