Nearly everything in this video is utter nonsense since very features asserted as being indication of Russian assistance in designing warship can be seen on Chinese ships and for that many those by some western navies such as French and German that have such features. Another is fact that North Korea has done a lot of cyber espionage such as hacking of Daewoo shipbuilding and maritime engineering company(now Hanhwa Ocean) along other shipbuilding companies around the world.

Type 362 as in the radars used on the Type 052 destroyers?
User “Rohirrim” on a Russian forum posted a satellite image of the shipyard at Ryongampo (39.93250121493378, 124.34345614856704) in the far north-west of the DPRK, the user writes:
Well, while all ‘public’ attention is focused on North Korean destroyers, the Ryongampo shipyard is quietly building two 35m patrol boats or missile FACs. Similar ships are also being built at Nampo in a closed pavilion
the other 3 units under construction in Nampo in early 2024

Once again, I propose the Tarantul and Karakurt class designs for North Korea.
I don't think this is particularly noteworthy. North Korea is still a relatively inexperienced shipbuilder, and underwater-launched SLBMs would be a decent engineering challenge for them. On a national scale, it's on a similar naval engineering feat to the USS Gerald Ford, which took almost 4 years from launch to commissioning, and still isn't at 100% capability.
