They're still ruled by a horrible regime, but the fact that their society is treated beyond fairness (being truth) internationally is simply factual, as Western media organizations make up a lot of stuff about their culture and way of life that's only based off of hearsay from publications like Radio Free Asia or from ridiculous defector tales like those of Yeonmi Park, and these minute absurdities are then gobbled up by ignorant folk and disseminated further. Park, for example, being one of the most well-known defectors, has claimed in the past that there is no ice cream in the DPRK, that world maps are not at-all provided to the DPRK's citizens, and that there are no words to convey personal romance in the North Korean dialect. All of these are untrue, of course.
This is not to say that the DPRK is a hidden, disparaged paradise, but the West likes to say that it's an utter hellhole in all conditions and all circumstances, which I haven't found to be true.

North Korea just seems to be a terrible place to live with horrific quality of life and an authoritarian government, but, so are some countries in Africa and they aren't given the DPRK treatment where the west wants to claim it's literal irl Oceania with cartoonishly evil treatment being done to the citizens like whatever Park claims.
