Then you should educate yourself..

According to South Korea's National Security Law, sneaking into North Korea without government permission is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while praising the country could draw seven years.

ie, as a South Korean, you are not allowed (by the South Korean government!) to visit North Korea.. yes, it's the South forbidding it, not the DPRK!

And better don't say anything non-negative about the DPRK when you're in South Korea.. as said, it could land you in prison for up to 7 years..

The North might be a crappy place, but it's not all so sunny in the South either if you say the "wrong" things..
