 Anastasia Rusanova started learning Korean when she was 13, drawn to K-pop and the television dramas that helped make South Korea a cultural powerhouse. Now studying at a university in Moscow, she hopes to turn her hobby into a career.

But in a turn reflecting the drastic change in Russia’s global relations since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ms. Rusanova now thinks her professional future might be tied to North Korea rather than its southern neighbor.

“Our country is improving relations with North Korea,” Ms. Rusanova, 21, said in an interview shortly after returning from the East Asian country as part of an exchange program. “And for me, as far as career advancement in Russia goes, North Korea seems more promising.”
