I could definitely see Kim getting into the mercenary business purely for financial benefit and resources.

Yeah, they have a large standing army.
My experience with large standing Commie armies is the further you get from the actual point of the spear the worse the units/equipment become.
I full believe that's what the NK army is like.
Probably have some very good front line units, but as you move into reserves the quality drops off.
Now, I seem to recall reading years ago that NK had a good trade sending forestry workers to China for $$.
I could see them "selling" people to Russia as well. However, I don't reckon those that would be "sold" would fit into the Commander & Control of Russia. I don't reckon many would speak Russian and I don't reckon many Russians speak Korean.
It would be more meat into the meat grinder, but nothing quality.
