No — North Korea is on Ostium's restricted list. The answer is the venue's own restricted-country list, as this site read it — not a roundup, not a guess, not a client-supplied country.

How their page puts it

Under “Restricted Jurisdictions”, their page reads:

… You acknowledge and agree that you are not permitted to access, use or trade using any of the Services if you are residing in, a citizen of, organized in or located in the following jurisdictions (collectively, the “Restricted Jurisdictions”): a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States, including but not limited to Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and the Crimea, Dontesk and Luhansk regions of …

Questions

Is the Ostium airdrop available in North Korea?

North Korea (KP) is on the restricted-country list we read from Ostium's own page, as of the dated reading above. We do not help anyone bypass it.

What happens at KYC if I sign up from North Korea?

Signing up usually goes through; the list is enforced at KYC, where the account can be closed and a withdrawal frozen. The risk sits on your balance, not ours.

How do you know the Ostium geo restrictions for North Korea?

We read the venue's own restricted-country document, archive a snapshot and date the reading. We do not copy third-party summaries.

How do I find out when Ostium changes this list?

Every material change we observe is dated in the public ledger, with RSS and JSON feeds. A change that names North Korea lands there the day we see it.

Can I check this reading myself?

Yes. The verdict cites a snapshot id; it opens as a record carrying an excerpt of the block we read and a link to the venue's own page. Nothing here asks to be taken on faith.
