    It would be the perfect time for south Korea to invade the north if they wanted to. (They probably don’t)

        The number of soldiers isn’t the issue. The two issues are the civilian casualties would be unacceptable for SK and the NK civilians would halt progress as they’d need support from the SK army.

        The other one is that China would almost certainly invade from the north because NK is a buffer state between it and SK, a US ally.

        They only have 7990.000 soldiers left /s

        It would be some crazy problems herding millions of starving sick uneducated poor bastards towards a better future.
