Believe it or not, it is legally possible to visit North Korea. If you are a US citizen, it is the US imposing the restriction, not North Korea.

Occasional immediately imprisoned idiot who dashed there out of stupidity. Tourists, plural. Find a difference.

On the other hand, there were people toured there, I remember I read some report from a photos-smuggling guy. Not sure whether that's a yearly occasion or one that's more like once a decade.

No, I'm not talking about US military defectors but actual tour groups like https://www.youngpioneertours.com/north-korea-tours/
