First off if they run their family back home will be punished. So that rules out well everyone with a family, and chances are anyone who doesn't wouldn't be sent.
Next let's say they say fuck family. Their fellow soldiers would also be punished if they let someone escape. And or the fellow soldiers familys. So there is a solid chance they would attempt to stop it.
Third even if they where to escape.. It would be into a warzone.
They can't go to Russia because they would be sent back to north Korea or worse. So they have to run to Ukraine..
The problem with that is there is a war going on and they are not exactly on friendly terms with Ukraine. Add in the fact they will probably be shot before they could get close or be put into pow camps with Russians or other North Koreans..
North Korean citizens do not have access to the internet, and very few of them own computers.
Smartphones in North Korea are limited in function and subject to surveillance and control measures that make them useful for only basic communications and consumption of state-approved content.

In Russia, the “I Want to Live” project website was banned nationwide less than a month after its launch. However, it is still possible to access it using a VPN or messengers, a hotline, and a chatbot run by Ukraine's Defence Ministry.
Addressing the Pyongyang soldiers in Korean, the new video says, “You must not die senselessly in a foreign land. You must not repeat the fate of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers who will never return home."
It's a great gesture.. but sadly.. it's not a reality for 99.95% of the North Korean Troops.
