The AK-47 has probably been replaced by the newer AK-74, AKS-74 and AK-74M. But its one of those.

The 74's have a distinctive orange magazine (probably to help insure that users don't try to load 5.45mm rounds into an AKM, or 7.62mm into an AK-74). I haven't seen any photos from N. Korea that contain those mags.
