OK, I think I've figured out how to solve the North Korea problem, once and for all. And all without firing a shot.
And here it is: the United States brings over every single South Korean man, woman, and child into our country, along with every last cultural artifact they can carry. There are already more than a million Koreans here right now, so it's not like the newcomers won't feel totally out of place. Moreover, Koreans, on average, have a fantastic work ethic; and many of them already speak English. They'd be an asset to our country. And as an added bonus, the likes of Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc. will become American companies.
As soon as everything south of the 38th parallel is cleared out, the last man leaving swings open the gates to the DMZ on his way out. North Korea takes over the whole peninsula, with no opposition whatsoever, reuniting it under their rule. And thus, their long-term objective is satisfied. Sure, the whole place will quickly become just like the North is now: an oppressive totalitarian dictatorship. But so what? It won't be our problem any more. And China won't have any leverage with us either, because we will no longer be paralyzed with fear out of worrying about Seoul getting wiped out. We won't care about Seoul any more, because it will be nothing more than just another run-down Communist dump.
And then, once this is all done, we say this: the next time a missile gets launched over the Sea of Japan, we will not only shoot it down but we'll also lob one of our own at the Korean city of our choice. Because that's the tradeoff for North Korea getting what they want: they forever swear off any nuclear program or any other means of threatening their neighbors, especially Japan. And if they won't voluntarily curb their missile program, we'll do it for them.

How about we kill Jung un and the south goes north.

You want to bring 50 million people here? Not all of which have a great work ethic, and include a few criminals in their numbers?
Don't get me wrong. I actually love the Korean culture and know quite a bit about it. I know enough to understand that their ties to the land go deeper than cultural artifacts. They have buildings, parks, mountains, lakes. How will they bring them along? They also have a fairly thriving country now. Why would they leave it, and let their large corporations get swallowed up by the US?
They also fiercely love their country and their culture. Even if your crazy idea had a chance in heck of working (which it does not), they would never leave their native land to be taken over by the north.
You think 50 million people are just going to happily leave their home and place of birth, to emigrate to a country they have never been to where a large chunk of them would be unable to speak the language, so that you can then just give their country and homes to their long time bitter enemies for free?
I think that is naive.
