Yes, it is most definitely and intentionally illegal. Things don't stop being crimes just because the victims are communists.

A North Korean law was probably broken. North Korea could ask the US to send him over to stand trial and the US could agree or ignore the request. No legal framework exists between the two countries so the US isn't forced to send them.

Things don't start becoming a crime until laws exist.

Sorry for being pedantic but the State of North Korea does not claim to be communist but rather "socialist Juche" which is very different from Marxism-Leninism and other "communisms".
