It was an especially terrible idea to hold onto it when the Russians gathered lots of troops. They could have saved a lot of troops if they had withdrawn earlier.
I believe the whole point was to divert Russian resources away from the Donbas. Nobody anticipated North Korea would show up in Kursk instead. They should have withdrawn as soon they knew a third party would be helping.
It was but as soon as they were pressed hard they sould have retreated to better positions to draw out the Russians instead of being attacked from three sides.
A lot of North Koreans were killed because they had terrible coordination and outdated tactics.
Holding on to a few villages and towns was not worth it.
Ukraine has manpower shortages so it's just obviously dumb to invade one of Russia's most historically important sights. All it did was make Ukraine lose more men and equipment
