Okay, looking closely at an enlargement, I can see how one might conclude that (though I still have not concluded it.)

Which begs the next question...why hide the helicopter hangar? What earthly purpose would that serve? It does seem to have space for drones. What advantage is gained by surprising anyone with a manned aircraft?

It could certainly make sense to have a dummy VLS, but then why a secret hangar? (I suppose a larger hangar could actually conceal more drones..."Hey! We thought it only carried two!" But, then you would not need a large secret door.)

I think North Korea is more straightforward. Look at the missile farm we built! Fear us!

To each their own. And what do I know? In another month the headline could well be: "New North Korean destroyer found to carry armed manned helicopters!"
