North Korea sends troops to Ukraine to fight/die for Russia. Tells them that if they are captured then they must commit suicide or be labeled a traitor. Some soldiers fail to properly kill themselves and are captured.
The question now is what to do with them. If they return them to NK then they will probably be tortured and executed, if they grant them asylum in Ukraine or South Korea then NK may use that as an excuse to increase hostility. Geneva convention requires that they return them to NK.
Yeah, this article feels like it’s trying to imply a tension that doesn’t exist. Ukraine has no motive to send them back to NK, there isn’t a legal basis for it, and nobody in here actually says it’s being considered.
Send them back to NK. Send them the first leg of the trip on a bus driven by a single unarmed soldier. If the North Koreans somehow manage to overpower the driver and commandeer the bus, and drive it to wherever they please… “Well, shucks, guys, we did what we could.”
TLDR-

That would be a nasty oversight, but it doesn’t actually appear to be the case.
If that’s in the Geneva Convention, it would be against it to return then to NK. Let SK talk to them first.

Anyone from NK can get South Korean citizenship, you just need to convince the authorities you are actually from NK
speaking Korean and being captured in Ukraine should narrow down the possible nationalities quite a bit
