For a Korean diaspora and activist perspective, of people who travelled to DPRK multiple times on delegation trips: KEEP: Stories from North Korea episode on The East is a Podcast. Also Nodutdol’s zine, Sanctions of Empire (there is a link to PDF on that page if you click the zine cover image).
For a south Korean leftist/left-leaning/peace point of view (try machine translation if you don’t know Korean, my apologies for not knowing an English one for this): “Understanding North Korea” article series by Tongil Times, especially their 북현대사 (“North Modern History”) series, and “North Korea through the constitution” series by Sovereignty Research Institute.
Are there any other sources of information on DPRK in general you could provide? Most of what i can find seems to boil down to “north korea bad”.

Thanks a lot. Randomly clicked a link to anti-imperialism.org which redirected to historic cornwall :) PS they moved to https://antiimperialism.wordpress.com apparently
Bruce Cummings book called North Korea: Another Country for a much more level headed picture than you’re likely to get from any other western sources.
For a point of view from a DPRK author, this book: Modern Korea: The Socialist North, Revolutionary Perspectives in the South, and Unification.
For a ML point of view: ProleWiki page on DPRK. There are also pages on south Korea, Korea, and the Korean War.
