Elano then added to the score in the 72nd after a well-timed pass from Robinho, finding the net with a one-timer from inside the area.
Ji Yum Nam was able to hit one goal for North Korea in the 89th.
The victory secures Brazil first place in the group after Portugal and the Ivory Coast drew 0-0 in their opener earlier Tuesday.
