Two, a movie from NoKo? you incorrigible optimist you!
I would definitely like to see the North Korean
Pulgasari (1985), but I am not quite sure it qualifies for FLM.
Pulgasari (1985): This film was heavily influenced by the popular Godzilla films at the time. It is about a farmers' uprising in medieval Korea. A little girl pricks her finger while sewing, and the blood falls on a little dragon toy made out of rice, causing it to come to life as a monster. It fights for the farmers and smashes the emperor's palace. Nevertheless, his appetite is so big that he starts eating the farmers' tools, so the girl who spawned it decides to sacrifice herself by disguising herself as Pulgasari's food. When the monster accidentally eats the girl, he explodes and dies.

How old is the "little girl" and how much screen time does she have?
Reportedly
South Korean director Shin had been kidnapped on orders of Kim Jong-il so that he would make movies for him, but I am really interested in it because it is kaiju. (Giant monster film.)
