Looks like it’s mostly Russia and China, with unconfirmed estimates for other countries. This is in violation of UN sanctions, so it’s highly unlikely that you’d meet a N. Korean in countries that respect UN sanctions.
South Korea, on the other hand, numbers in the millions. So if you live outside of Russia and China, there are millions of S. Koreans vs probably a few thousand N. Koreans. It’s not even close.
Idk, if you meet someone from Pennsylvania, do you ask if the person personally knows the family of the Trump assassin? If you meet someone from the UK, do you ask if they’re royalty? That’s the kind of odds I’m talking about, the chance is so remote that the question isn’t worth the breath to ask. It’s not like asking if someone identifies as LGBT (that’s like 7-8%), it’s like asking if anyone in their family was struck by lightning.
The main exception here is if you live in China (~3% chance of a Korean being from N. Korea) or Russia (more like 30% chance of being N. Korean). Pretty much everywhere else, it’s going to be a fraction of a percent.

And if you do meet a North Korean couple in small-town America, they probably won’t mention it! (Un’s uncle and aunt fled there from Switzerland)
