Talk about delusions of grandeur. He knocked a few public facing HTTP hosts offline, amazing! I can “a bring down North Korea’s internet” aka a few public hosts for a week too if I rent Lizard Squads stresser for $400 a week. What’s supposed to be impressive about that?

That exercise that Russia did a few years ago to see if they could function cut off from the internet? For north Korea that's the regular self-imposed status quo. I don't think it will have had much impact on daily life there.
