When it comes to North Korea, it´s hard to know which are fakes and which aren´t.
We still cannot put a finger on their provenance, at least regarding modern pieces. We can´t tell for sure if those pieces we can get are chinese made copies or original(almost all DPRK militaria dealers are chinese :(). Soviet and czech made ones are of a higher quality and easily to tell the difference.
Your badge looks OK though, as almost all these Kim Il Sung allegiance badges available at the market share the same construction quality.
BTW I collect north korean awards too. do you have any other pieces? :)

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
