N. Korea has a military of around 1.3 million active plus another 6 million in different reserves. They need tens of thousands of experienced trainers to modernize their military.
If you don't give a fuck about the losses, this is a brutally efficient manner in going about it.
Funny, I remember similar talk right before the Koreans retook Kursk in 5 months - and by all accounts, adapted to the battlefield extremely quickly and were formidable warriors.

Come for the promise of food, stay because you’ve been killed by a drone you didn’t even see.

The sent 10,000 originally. 6,000 of them were casualties.
3,000 of the survivors were sent back as trainers.
The remaining 1,000 survivors and a fresh wave of 10,000 were sent to the front to bring the total to around 11,000 this spring.
