Young Pioneer is well regarded but caters to a younger group and seems to use partying and drinking in North Korea as a marketing tool. This guy was a frat boy from the U of Virginia so I think alcohol may have had a lot to do with his decision making.
I don't know if this is true or NK propaganda, but in the article...

In his comments, Warmbier said he was offered a used car worth $10,000 by a member of the church.
He said the church member told him the slogan would be hung on its wall as a trophy. He also said he was told that if he was detained and didn't return, $200,000 would be paid to his mother in the form of a charitable donation.
Seems to be true. NK wouldn't make up weird things like this. The CIA etc stuff, maybe though. Pardon the pun, but that should a red flag in terms of what you're doing is risky.
