Personally I think one of two things - commodities/resources at a better rate, or nuclear and/or military secrets.

Whatever it is, it must be worth the cost of pissing off the South Koreans unnecessarily.
Exactly, my point was that it's hard to see what's in it for them, which is why they probably aren't doing it, and in any case for now the story is still rumors, not news.

Of course, if NK starts to think there is an ideological cause worth fighting for, that would be a nation state reason.

However most don't consider Kim Jong-un to be much of an ideologue.
