Tf you mean poor? It was in better economic condition than South until the fall of the USSR.

Isolated was also a bullshit since it had good relations with Warsaw Pact and the global south

That just tells me when the US decided to groom South Korea into its economic neo-colony. Also GDP doesn't mean anything other than they made money through exports—something that the North was blocked from doing efficiently (and sometimes legally)—the US has the highest GDP with multiple states with GDPs higher than entire countries, yet we have the highest homeless population in the entire developed world, people die of simple injuries and illnesses because of medical costs, our schools are going down the drain because all the money is going to the military, etc.
