If DPRK is field testing their missiles in Ukraine that lets them confirm that they can effectively bypass NATO defences, and that's a nightmare for the occupied Korea. (www.thedrive.com)

Were I to discuss the party in the future, I'd follow your suggestion regardless, but are the words of anglophones on the internet really what is keeping the occupation government from killing the PDP?

This is more to help keep unnecessary active awareness of non-state actors away from our work whenever members of the PDP travel abroad, in addition to avoid the stigmatization that comes with Koreans being communists in a world where the DPRK exists as one of the most propagandized AES states on earth.

Imagine being a Korean, and when telling someone about your ethnicity they without fail in the first sentence ask "North Korean or South Korean?" or some variant along those lines. Other than that being a part of my and many korean-american's lived experiences, it serves as a constant reminder that Communist Korea exists as a constant in the minds of nearly everyone in the West. It does pay to be careful sometimes lol.

Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense.
