500 long-range heavy artillery guns from which North Korea can fire half a million artillery shells an hour, for several hours.

Oh bullsh#t. A rate of fire of 1000 rounds per hour per gun? really? Don't any "journalists" bother to to do the least little bit of fact checking? And all 500 tubes would have to be right on the treaty line to even reach Seoul as it's right at the maximum range of the biggest guns they have. Can they give the South a very bloody nose? Sure. And then the South would stomp the 1950 style Soviet Norks into a paste. Remember Saddam and his "Fourth largest army in the world"? Same thing.

If South Korea could stomp over the North, they would’nt have called for UNSC sessions after their warship was sunk and after repeated provocations over the past 15 years.

A country which has an arsenal of ballistic missiles, NBC weapons, cyber warfare and supposed EMP capabilities is not 1950 style. If Saddam thought them something, it is that there is no point in trying to match the US or its allies in conventional capabilities. Sure the South and US will win any war eventually, but are they willing to pay the price??? They have shown little inclination towards that.
