Not really. What sort of government would follow? Democracy is something that can't be enforced on a people, we've seen that with Germany after WWI. Besides the moment the borders open North Korea will be empty and neither China nor South Korea are interested in getting a stream of refugees that will make the current one to Europe look like a birthday party. Another thing is that North Korea will still be an economic disaster with no real hope of a quick fix as there is neither the know how to get things going nor the infrastructure and attractiveness for foreign investors to build up something there. So even if Kimmy the Fat where to be swallowed by the earth tomorrow it would be a long road to a free North Korea that has a place in the world's society.
