Not really. After second Khrushchevite coup Kim Il Sung purged both Soviet and Chinese factions in WPK so they were politically entirely sovereign, but they never went into conflict with neither USSR nor China. They also moved in opposite direction economically and diplomatically, instead of adopting market reforms and opening to the west, they followed self-reliance policies, mostly out of necessity of being basically sieged by USA and their cronies the entire time.
And in retrospect, considering Yugoslavia was broken among untold suffering and DPRK not, it was a right move.

That’s what I thought yeah; juzt wondering if it was like Yugoslavia
