They are allowed to leave. But due to US sanctions, flights out of the DPRK aren’t allowed to land in most airports around the world. So they can only really leave and go to Russia or China. Why do you think they can’t leave?

Where are you hearing that NK citizens are allowed to emigrate to China? Last I heard they get shipped back and sent to the gulag.

lol no. they’re not allowed to leave freely, heck they can’t even move around their own country freely.

So you’re telling us North Korean soldiers aren’t trained to shoot fleeing civilians on sight? You’re also saying China doesn’t force escapees back to North Korea where they face punishment? You’re also saying the families of escapees are not punished by the regime? North Koreans are free to leave, they just choose not to and there is no threat of punishment from their government for doing so?
