yes

even though they would almost certainly nuke Seoul in retaliation?

that's rather speculative, they'd certainly like to nuke Seoul, but given their generally shit state as a nation, I doubt their launching platforms are as redundant and sophisticated as those of the West and Russia. It's plausible that a preliminary (stealth) invasion force could knock out their infrastructure in very little time.
