Oh really? Know how many troops are on the ground in Panmunjun? Fewer than 600 Battalion Scouts (Light Infantry). These troops are nothing but a speed bump and they know it.
Drive south from the DMZ some time, every half mile to mile (iirc)is a fall-back position (berm with a gap). Every bridge over those gaps is wired to come down. Dragons teeth litter the fields in front of the berms.
The entire northern part of South Korea is designed to be given up but at a cost.
Yes I know that’s what I really meant - meaning, it’d be VERY expensive, question is how many could the area aerial bombardment kill and whether it could kill them as fast as the new ones were being pushed down. I think the attrition that would be forced on them would make them think twice as if they lose the force and cannot defend anymore the regime would fall (and that is the only thing they care about).
