I'm not personally well acquainted with Seoul, the closet I've been to Korea was either when I was in CA as an infant, or in Europe as an adult. But most large cities has a lot of people around them. Even if most of the artillery couldn't reach "Seoul proper", it still would probably be able to hit some reasonable densely populated areas. Lookin up some South Korean cities Paju is right up near the DMZ and it (while MUCH smaller than Seoul) apparently has about an many people as Pittsburgh or Cincinnati. Goyang is north of Seoul and has over a million people, and parts of Inchon/Incheon are right up by the border (and it has over 2 million people, but I don't know how much the population drops off as you head North, I think its mostly in the part right by Seoul). Also while I have no doubt that North Korea's forces would be decisively defeated, the defeat wouldn't happen instantly. Some of the artillery could move closer (exposing itself even more to air-strikes in the process though, they get to hit a larger area with shells at the expense of not being able to fire as long.
