Its all about Jealousy. North Korea hates seeing its Southern Neighbour succeed in world wide events.

He must have been so pissed when he found out his neighbour's economy overtook his in the 70s and 80s. So when Seoul won the olympic bid, North Korea threw a tantrum and demanded to the Olympic committee that half the games take place in their capital Pyongyang (they claim this would make the world see Korea as one country which is what they want).

North Korea refused and boycotted the games in protest.
