By the way, wouldn't the DPRK just send him back?

They'll probably (rightly) suspect it as an espionage attempt and imprison him for six months or so before eventually deporting him. That's what they've done with westerners in the past.

I don't think this has happened since like the Korean war, so who knows tho

I would hope with an honest to goodness defection they would not deport him.
