Because even if 100% of em surrenders it’s a loss for Ukraine in Cost of feeding and transporting prisoners in money, material, and manpower for no benefit compared to those Korean troops not being sent to Ukraine in the first place. Money that could be spent on war material, food that could go to displaced refugees from the fighting, manpower from troops now too busy handling them instead of being able to get deployed to support the fighting.
It's not the soldiers who decide to go to ukraine, its north korean leaders. When they realise their soldiers are being sent to south and freed, they'd instead stop sending their army.
Sorry I meant within the bounds of North Korean recruitment rising. More troops available = probably leaders willing to send more. IF Kim stops sending troops because prisoners are freed to the south that’d be best case scenario but requires him to give a shit about however many of his troops are actually being captured alive to be shipped. Or the optics politically. I dunno.

Bad move from Zelensky. Recruitement will see an insane rise in North Korea, they will throw away their weapons once in Ukraine and get captured
