they're refugees.
Not all of them are.
Jong Tae-Sae's parents were refugees and he was born in Japan but decided to play for North Korea.
Hong Yong-Jo in Russia, I know he had an offer from France(I think) but North Korea didn't let him go and then he had an offer from Serbia North Korea deemed them ok to go to and from there he want to Russia.
An Yong-Hak is another one born in Japan and has played his whole career in Japan apart from 4 seasons in South Korea.
