where can i learn a bit more about north korea?
HIGHLY recommend blowback season 3. It covers the entire Korean war and will explain a LOT about why things are the way they are now.

The YouTube channel "DPRK Explained" has a ton of interesting info in 10-15min length videos, from ideological bases of the country to public transit and urbanism. Cool stuff!
Radio Free Asia has some good content
i bet it's all fire
On a more serious note. There a documentary called My Brother and Sisters in the North, available on youtube. Also the Blowback podcast also has a season on the Korean War which is excellent.
Yeah the blowback pod season is my go-to for people interested in why things are the way they are in general but the Korea series is especially good.
I like Nodutdol's toolkit, which goes over the background of Japanese colomization, the Korean war, and the ROK/DPRK. New movements like the 20x10 initiative are included, though it doesn't explain the 주체사상 (Juche idea).
Also, the Proles Pod podcast has a few episodes going a bit in detail into the history of the DPRK, the particularities of Juche, and their governance system
Patriots, Traitors and Empires: The Story of Korea's Struggle for Freedom is a good book.
