North Korea still need to keep up appearances, they can't actually truly throw it all away and admit they are in a monarchy.
That's what they are. Only a person with no concept about how monarchy works would not get this fact. It's also the reason why I believe anyone who wants to get rid of a vital part of the regime would have to make sure the Kims' direct bloodline dies, almost in the same way some countries have destroyed their own monarchies in the past.
