North Korea is a secular state. Officially there is freedom of religion. so Buddhism would be permitted, but observance of anything but Juche, the state sponsored philosophy, is not supported.Like many things in Korea any deviation from the state sponsored and supported position is viewed with suspicion and action against any infraction (which includes many things including not wearing one of the 15 acceptable women's or men's hairstyles), can result in imprisonment. Openly following a religion could make this even worse for you if arrested.
