We can try, but it won't succeed. Kim has organized a couple of special economic zones to try out Chinese style economic reform and encourage trade and investment from china. In each case the zone was shut down because Kim grew concerned that economic liberalization brought with it too much that was not under Kim's direct control, and reform experiment was terminated rather than allowed to spread. Things have no reason to be different if the trading partner is US or South Korea rather then china.
Kim family is in charge, and Kim family has excellent reason to believe if they relinquish any aspecof of total control, then the loss of authority will spread, and eventually Kim will be overthrown, and millions will bring them to account, and the Kim clan will be exterminated in bloody retribution just as the Kims have exterminated so many other clans to attain and hold on to power.
