The solution to North Korea is China. North Korea is China's
Frankenstein monster.

When China decides that the monster has gotten too far out of hand, and
is a threat to China, North Korea will be squashed like a bug. The
Chinese could roll through North Korea in less than a week, even if
North Korea put up a fight.

The only other solution is if North Korea collapses like East Germany
did, but with China providing aid, that won't happen until China cuts
them off.
