Yes we could stop an NK invasion of the South but it would be very damaging.

A lot depends on the moral of the NK units. If they have high morale and determination, their numbers would enable them to have a strong effect despite their obsolete equipment and poor training. If OTOH their moral and determination are low than the war (or at least "major combat operations") would be over relatively quickly.

Generally I consider North Korea's military to be a more severe threat than say Saddam's (even before the Gulf War destroyed a lot of it). But it mostly only has size, by most other measures the military would rate between mediocre and horrible.

Again, Seoul might be toast. But that isn't the totality of SK.

Yes it isn't but it would be a major disaster if Seoul was toast.
