> NK does actually allow people to leave, mostly to china and mostly after they attain a high social class

I didn't know this. Source? I thought Pyongyang controls its elites' movement even more strictly than its commoners'.

[1] Don't get me wrong, movement is highly restricted, but it's not impossible. AFAIK, it's mostly afforded to the elites in NK.

I guess I shouldn't have written leave, but to visit other countries. I don't think you can change your citizenship.
