However, even with a realistic scenario (which will involve the US and most likely China), my point of it being a pyrrhic victory still stands - there is little chance that SK will come out of it unscathed.

Finding an agreement between the US and China isn't impossible considering it has been done before for Yugoslavia between the US and Russia (which had ties with Milosevic) during the Kosovo War.

May want to ask the Germans how Stalingrad went.
Something to think about for those that are advocating for a round 2 of the Korean War:
- Do you know what happened last time? this time the other side has nukes.

May want to ask the Iraqis how things went from the moment Desert Storm kicked in (despite all the WMDs they still had at the time - 1991), or ask the Egyptians how it went in 1967 despite their superior numbers & Soviet-made hardware advantage over the IDF (which was outnumbered by 5 to 1). In the case of Iraq, they could be as devoted or brainwashed as they were, but it didn't stop them from abandoning their posts from the moment the strikes were well coordinated combined to other existing deprivations.
Things have changed since 1953 and SK has plenty of countermeasures to stop anything launched at them or even destroy the launching sites before they can even be ready to react.
Seriously, you can me an idealist or a lunatic if you want, but there's no way this regime should be allowed to breathe and go unpunished with the consistent blackmailing.

That's one discipline on which I keep hoping the IOC to take it away instead of wrestling. Sometimes, I'm baffled by the decisions at the IOC.
