North Korea... a normal country??

Here're some characteristics of N. Korea's political system:
- Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
- Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
- Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
- Supremacy of the Military
- Controlled Mass Media
- Obsession with National Security
- Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

And the S. Korean gov't - at least according to Moon Chung-in(special adviser to the President) - wants, by using the (Pyeongchang Winter)Olympics. to offer the (N. Korean)regime a chance to show [the]global society [that]it is a normal country?? Questions upon questions!!!
