How does a country like Nort Korea seem to have endless money for its army and develop nuclear weapons despite being one of the most sanctionned country in the world?

They don’t have money, and much of their army is complete potemkin just for parades.
But you are missing something very critical. They are not a capitalist democracy. They dont need money to get things done.
Money is just an IOU for labour, NK doesn’t need to bargain for labour. They can just compel it directly from their citizens/slaves, bypassing need to buy them off with money.
They only thing they need money for is goods and services from outside the country. That is what sanctions are blocking, but sanctions can’t directly control the use of labour inside the sanctioned country.
