Do I need to apply for an exit permit if I want to live in North Korea?

I wish you success in your life in North Korea.

First of all, North Korea's management of population mobility is very strict. Traveling to North Korea is ok, but it is difficult to work and study abroad, let alone settle down.

Secondly, due to the international environment, North Korea is very wary of foreigners.

Living as a foreigner in North Korea again is more expensive than living at home, and the living materials are much less than at home.

Moreover, the situation on the peninsula is now grim, and international economic sanctions have been imposed on North Korea, which is in a period of serious natural disasters. The Korean people's monthly grain is only 27 kilograms. Are you sure you can survive after you go?

If you like North Korea, you can travel first, and then consider the environment.
