    Ok but did it triple compared to the pre-covid numbers or is this compared to the post-covid numbers?

    Serious question since DPRK lockdowns will have drastically reduced the number leaving the country. Thus any increase being framed as "tripled" may just be a return to normal levels.

      Seoul say it tripled from 67 to 196. Where pre-pandemic levels were ~1000/year.

      So it's effectively negligible, possibly even within the margin of error.
