Hi Frederik 

GNS data quality varies a lot from country to country, and yes with the coordinates rounded which had imprecision.
Adding to that the corean alphabet, the South corean community would probably be the best to handle that.

It has been pointed out to me that there is 1983 document on North
Korean place names by the United States Board on Geographic Names in
North Korea. A Google-digitized, public domain version is viewable online,

and a text-only OCR'd version is also available. But the names are all
in English only, and the coordinates rounded to full arc minutes (i.e.
+/- 1.5km on the ground). It could be good enough to label places you
see on the imagery, but it is certainly not good enough for any kind of
automated processing.

Bye
Frederik
