Do any sources indicate additional risk for being a (South) Korean-American visiting North Korea?

US Department of State has a level 4 travel advisory. Level 4 is “do not travel,” and was updated December 19,2018.

I went to North Korea last September. You’ll be perfectly safe travelling there as a Korean American. For all the failings of the North Korean government, they’re not in the habit of arbitrarily detaining foreign tourists. Almost all the foreign tourists detained by the North Korean government in recent years have been detained for trying to bring bibles into North Korea. Furthermore, your tour company should give you a full briefing and would not let you on the tour if they thought you were likely to be detained.

If in doubt, contact Koryo Tours . They organized my tour (as well as one of the Vice Magazine tours and one of the Dennis Rodman tours) and are very knowledgeable about travel to the DPRK.
