I don't think NK took themselves there, they were already there when the internet was invented. Easier to limit access to few people when you have draconian measures in place when access becomes possible.
Having a society that already widely has access to one that has extremely limited access is a lot more difficult.
This is a good point that many don't think about. Even if you could somehow drop hardware and free starlink into North Korea it wouldn't even matter because the citizens never grew up on internet culture. No one would be able to figure out what to do with it by the time they got caught.
