As any fascist country does, North Korea has its elite. Here is a good article discussing this: https://newfocusintl.com/the-new-north-korean-elite-the-10-and-the-1/
The most recent study I could find, however, says that 84% of North Korean households have borderline or poor food consumption. This "meat" store is definitely for the 1%. It's laid out like a high end boutique, and is clearly not designed for lots of traffic.
If you want to see something really weird, take a look at the satellite view of Pyongyang in Google Maps. By any standard it's a huge city. But look at the details - because they tell the real story. Look, for example, at how few cars are on the street for a city of that size. And this is where the country's preferred class lives!
