Or it is direct and specific threat from US military?
They know the US mercenaries and 45 year old conscripts they've been loosening the rules to allow are rocket food in their first major engagement with an opponent that isn't farmers in flip flops.

end up returning to North Korea anyway?
Not if they go to South Korea; they literally won't be allowed to leave. DPRK defectors/hostages aren't given a passport off the bat; only when the puppet regime is convinced of their loyalty are they allowed to exit South Korea apparently.

And they know cannon fodder when they see it, they used everyone in Ukraine as that!
