compared to NK's famine in the 90's , which was manipulated to reduce the population and eliminate the lower classes.

The prison camp system alone currently houses somewhere between 100-250,000 prisoners.
Now these numbers, are all GUESSES... they are conservative too. Accounts from North Korean expats is that it is far worse.
The North Koreans are close to, if not have exceeded the number of people killed during the Holocaust.
Who knows, they may have killed double, maybe 3 times as many people.

Remember, in germany we had NO clue they were exterminating jews until we invaded. We may invade and find out there are millions upon millions of executions we havent even accounted for.
There is no room for peace with this regime, but we'll see if its possible!
