Even in the best case scenario it would be a massive bloodbath. NK has essentially no domestic infrastruture or food production. The 23 million people that live there do so completely beholden to the regime. Even if it were somehow possible that an altercation with NK could be accomplished with only casualties to the NK regime it would end up causing the greatest humanitarian crisis the world has seen with millions of refugees flooding into the surrounding countries and end up requiring the cooperation of muliple Asian states who have nothing but animosity towards each other.
