No attack by us on them until an attack by them on the ROK.
Starting in one or two weeks a series of escalating probing confrontations along the DMZ as the DPRK tries to get a causus belli. After about two weeks of this, finally something happens to give them their excuse and they cross the border enmasse.

They are conducting provocations right now but nobody is making a big deal about it for fear of escalating. Soon, though, something BIG will happen along the DMZ either near the JSA or the central highland area across from Chorlwon, or perhaps another attack/fight in the Yellow Sea as in 1999. The S. K. won't want to lose face and they will not back down. Hence, the escalation. Pretty good analysis and guess of yours.....

Good scenario. Quite possible, IMHO.
