There is zero access to the DPRK from the ROK at this time. There used to be but it was extremely limited indeed (family reunions or access to scenic sites or resorts far away from where people live.)

In that case, it would be recommended that you get a Chinese visa beforehand, hopefully one with at least two entries.
Check this out for some practical details on how to go:
