Frankly speaking, South Korea doesn't recognize North Korea as a country, it is written in constitution of them. When North Korean defectors arrive in South Korea, they get SK citizenship quickly after they get some investigation for weeks or months. So, they don't really have chances to make birth as a North Korean from the beginning :)
