Yes, western-centric sources indeed over-represent real problems in the DPRK and under-represent their achievements. Again, they seem to be doing about as well as Cuba, maybe a bit better, and considering the brutal sanctions on each that’s quite the feat.
Your “common knowledge” is just the western viewpoint that clings to the Arduous March and stories, both real and fake, of defectors raised during that era.
Plus, making a joke about a country having food insecurity, regardless of validity, is monstrous behavior. Even if you were correct, you’d still be a shitty person for that alone.

Our Mission
By revealing the truth, HRNK is applying pressure not only to the totalitarian regime of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea but the international community at large to effect real change. HRNK’s ultimate goal is to close North Korean gulags, open the borders so citizens can leave the country, and provide access to information throughout North Korea, including breaking the information blockade and preventing widespread access to media and news. We aim to bring about real and substantial change to the policies that obstruct the human rights of every North Korean citizen.

In addition, the sourcing from the document you linked are south korean government agencies, rfa, and other USAID linked think tanks. Do you think that South Korea and the United States has a vested, material interest in disseminating propaganda about a country so heavily bombed that they inflicted a genocide?
