That weird new North Korean MBT seems to have possibly entered limited service:

However, in 2020, an entirely new vehicle was unveiled as North Korea’s new best MBT. It was dubbed M2020 by Western analysts, but in May 2024, its name was revealed during an arms exhibition as Ch’ŏnma-2 / Cheonma-2 / (천마-2호).

In 2023, the Ch’ŏnma-2 was revealed with a new ERA kit, and in March 2024, the vehicle was shown during training exercises, with all 9 vehicles having entered service with the 105th Tank Division.
The name can be discerned from the background in the rough time frame of around 24:58 in this video:
