I guess so.
I didn't know anything about Paektusan Prize (Mount White Head Prize) but according to this article it has been organized since 1992. This is the only international figure skating competition in North Korea.

It consists of three parts.
1. Local junior and senior skaters' synchronized skating (I don't know. Maybe it means just group number)
2. Demonstration by international class skaters
3. Gala show "Titleholders of the championship on ice" by foreign skaters
Champions on ice?
In 2008, foregin skaters, who came from Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belarus, Ukraine, Spain, France, performanced under North Korean patriot songs "The sound of hoofbeat in the Mt. White Head" and "Beyond the cloud and to the star of our dear general."
