Artillery can be suppressed, especially considering the length of the border between DPRK and ROK. In reality, the A-10s in the ROK were precisely to suppress any KPA artillery pieces.The threat from DPRK is conventional not nuclear. Seoul is within targeting range of thousands of heavy artillery effectively concealed inside solid rock outposts in the surrounding mountains largely immune from air strikes. Seoul will be reduced to rubble in a matter of hours in case of hostilities. Until the USA or South Korea regains control of those mountains the threat to Seoul and the thousands of western troops elsewhere on the border will remain. That will happen if North Korea collapses economically due to sanctions . At this point this doesn't seem likely given the fact that both Russia and China are supporting the DPRK
The North Korean nuclear weapons are for optics and domestic consumption only. They pose no threat to any country including South Korea since all North Korean missiles can be intercepted. The performance of North Korean missiles in Ukraine showed how primitive these were.
