The New York Times interviewed several North Koreans living in China, and the picture they show is disturbing:

Others were more skeptical of the government’s propaganda, but still cast war as an inevitability. “We always wait for the invasion,” said one former primary school teacher. “My son says he wishes the war would come because life is too hard, and we will probably die anyway from starvation.”

They struggle to even survive, are brainwashed, and are forced into a state of deep depression as a mode of everyday life, where each new day is another day of suffering. This is how people in North Korea live in 2010.
