The same sort of "volunteering" happened under Saddam during Desert Storm.
He was vastly under-supplied, and gave each "volunteer" one gun and less than 5 bullets each.
Thousands of them surrendered at a time. So many that US soldiers had them dig deep trenches for themselves, as their temporary prisons. They just really wanted the MRE's, because they were starving.
I highly suspect Kim's people are in the same boat.
Just roll up with truck loads of food, and no one will fire a shot.

North Korea has a total population of some 25 million.
Given typical statistical population distributions, about 12 million are fighting-ready, if women are included, and they ignore the 18-35 US standards.
Any way you look at it, they are done.
They may get a few good hits in before they are obliterated, but they are as good as erased from the future if fat boy goes full stupid.

The guy who recently fled North Korea under fire a few days ago is from the middle tier of their society and he was utterly infested with parasites. I don't think the NorK's will be doing much of anything.
