Isn’t it just a matter of cutting off a couple of undersea cables? Sure satellite will still be available, but disrupting those cables can take out most of the country’s connectivity.

North Korea isn’t an island. It shares a land border with Russia and China. My guess is that North Korea’s main telecom connectivity is through China. If China is cutting off North Korean internet, internet access is the least of its worries.
Yeah sure, you can cut the cables. But like you said, alternate means of accessing the information exist as well. Technology limitations can be very difficult to enforce and maintain due to how quickly it can grow and evolve if people are motivated enough. Which the North Korean government definitely would be.
