While I'm not surprised that there's not too many resident foreigners in North Korea, I'm surprised at how few there are in South Korea. Interesting.

The source would be interesting. Does this mean that there actually are 529 US citizens in North Korea? I sincerely doubt that. As far as I know, there have been a handful of American defectors, the most prominent case being James Dresnok.

According to Wikipedia, 93,000 Koreans in Japan immigrated to North Korea, mainly in the 60's. Are they not counted for some reason?

it's possible that the foreigners in North Korea are military personnel on the DMZ, who technically live on the North Korean side of the border, but aren't within North Korean jurisdiction

If you include South Koreans in North Korea then you should research North Koreans in the South. As it should be there.

I thought there might be some Cubans or Lao in North Korea as I guessed few non-communists would be allowed to stay. Surprised by the few hundred Americans although I recently read of a solider who stayed after the Korean war

@newenglander, I seriously doubt that. The demarcation line that runs through the DMZ means that any foreign military within the DMZ would be on the South side of the line. I agree about the source, seems strange that there are over 1600 from Brazil in North Korea, but less than 500 Russians, whom NK shares a (short) border with.

I think there are Special Economic Zones in North Korea where, similar to China, foreigners can invest. So maybe some Americans are working with the Chinese/Russian companies based there.

According to the NY Times (1996), there were about 21 defectors that stayed in North Korea after the war one of whom was Richard Corden. There were also about 900 POW's who were never returned, so it's possible some stayed in North Korea and their children and grandchildren are still there. North Korea may include them in a list of Americans living in North Korea
