What is the cost of escaping North Korea?
North Korea has a population of over 25 million people and about 20 people try to escape every year. It costs up to $3000 for an adult to flee North Korea through the black market. however, people spend their whole lives saving money for this cause.
Also, more complicated cases can be quite expensive (for example, flying directly from North Korea with a fake passport costs $10-000).
Escaping to China with a North Korean passport may not end well. There are many cases where China has deported them to their homeland. Unfortunately, they will be imprisoned in the DPRK for a long time.
Also, if you leave North Korea without your family, according to state law, all family members who remain in the country will be imprisoned.
