Russia announced in April its ambition to build a low-cost, single-engine fighter-bomber based on the MiG-23 and "real combat experience in the Ukrainian battlefield".
Last year, Belarus also announced its readiness to restart production of Su-25 attack aircraft "with appropriate small technological support of the Russian Federation".
If the above comes true, it will be very beneficial for North Korea. The trio of modernized MiG-29, modernized MiG-23 and remanufactured Su-25 will be the perfect backbone of the Korean People's Air Force in the future. After that, they can move on to bigger ambitions.

1.You are no moderator.
2.there's no aircraft.
It was your post that sm-100 somehow equals a suitable light fighter.
There's no fighter based on these engines, and no one is even looking into designing it. Maybe North Korea does, but we don't know.
It sadly guarantees that no such aircraft will appear in operational capacity in predictable(+15 years) future.
For better or worse, DPRK will probably have to choose from existing Russian aircraft. They're available, relationship between countries is excellent, and DPRK can pay something Russia needs the most.
Feeding hungry emperor soup in Luoyang - matters.
Chinese are a distant second, but for now it looks doubtful. Relationship between countries somewhat soured, Pyongyang clearly grew restless from depending on Beijing too much, China didn't really show willingness to provide aircraft to DPRK in 2010s, and finally - North Korea can't pay.
