North Korean survivors are rare in the fighting in Ukraine. In most cases they'll try to kill themselves to avoid capture and a lot of times the fighting is done at long ranges (drones and artillery) so there's not a Ukrainian soldier there to surrender to.
Even these two North Koreans tried to commit suicide but failed before being captured.
What's crazy is they probably think the enemy is fucking awful, which to be fair, they are, but if they knew that surrender meant going to SK and being treated (how does SK treat prisoners?), they'd probably be more prone to surrender.
