North Korea is not the only country that uses propaganda. Every country in the world does; it is just much harder to recognize propaganda in your own country. We notice North Korean propaganda because it is more ridiculous and overstated than most countries' propaganda.
The reason North Korea uses propaganda is to create a society less willing to revolt against the North Korean government. Currently, the North Korean government starves many of its own people, lacks any serious internet capabilities, requires all of its citizens to belong to the Juche religion (worshiping the previous leaders of North Korea like gods), and place hundreds of thousands of prisoners in camps. Any sensible group of people under those conditions would at least consider rebellion. However, the North Korean government has carefully calibrated the propaganda machine in its own country to "inform people" that the world outside of North Korea is significantly worse and the US, South Korea, and Japan are all conspiring to hurt the North Korean people. In this way, the tyrannical North Korean government looks like a hero as opposed to the monstrous villain that it is.
