I don't understand why you're trying to push me to visit a country I have no interest in visiting. (There's plenty of places I'd rather visit before South Korea.)
In the case of North Korea: It's difficult to explain unless you're in a listening mode, but I'll try:
First: I would never go under the current government. Full stop. I won't go somewhere where I don't feel safe.
Second: I don't endorse their government in any way.
For me, the best analogy would be traveling to East Germany in the early 1990s after the fall of communism. IE, visit the Berlin Wall, and maybe listen to some locals tell their story.
So, assuming North Korea's government changes in my lifetime, I'd love to visit and "see it" before it gets torn down.
One of the things I like hearing is how people work around constraints and obstacles. These are the kinds of stories I'm interested in.
