Own work. Geometry based on description in DPRK National Flag Law 2014-08-12 which can be found at www.unilaw.go.kr.

Appendix 1 — Ratio between the width of the national flag and the diameter of the red star, the center point of the white circle, the white circle, and the red star

  1. The national flag is divided vertically into 6 equal parts with both the upper and lower 16 being coloured blue, the remaining 46 is divided vertically into 24 equal parts with both the upper and lower 124 being coloured white, the remaining 2224 is coloured red.
  2. The center of the red star, and the center of the white circle are both located at the intersection of the national flag's horizontal bisector and the vertical trisector on the side of the flagpole.
  3. The diameter of the white circle is 23 the vertical height of combined red and white parts of the national flag, the diameter of the imaginary circle that circumscribes the star is equal to the diameter of the white circle less 12 the thickness of one white stripe.

The tips of the red star do not touch the perimeter of the white circle.

Another English translation can be found at Law and North Korea, but be warned that it mixes up the definitions of bisector and trisector.
