I feel like a lot of people here assume that you’re going to be automatically arrested when going to DPRK but it’s not completely true. You can get easily arrested and you have to follow strict cultural/government imposed rules.
The DPRK previously has done a “put it’s best foot forward” and keep tourists in a bubble where you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos unless in specifically permitted zones. It’s essentially a propaganda tour.
So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.
I’d personally never go but there are people who do war zone tourism. I could see why a person would want to experience a full on propaganda tour made by an totalitarian regime with all those cold war era propaganda art.
There’s a reason to go there other than to say you have, but it’s not worth the risk for most people IMO.

Or take your money and spend it in societies that respect human rights.
But at the same time, currently, there is no reason to go to NK other than to just say that you have.

But why would you want to?
There’s hundreds of other countries to visit that don’t treat their citizens like prisoners and their visitors like hostile spies.
I don’t, but some people are weird.
