South Korea is a very wealthy, well educated country with a very well equipped, well trained modern military and tech thats on par with anything else in the world. And they've been sitting on one of the most volatile borders in the industrialized world for the last half century+. I guarantee there is nothing they don't know about or don't anticipate coming from DPRK.
The only reason they let DPRK get away with these types of attacks is that the cost of reunification would be so great as to cripple the south korean economy for decades. From an economic perspective it costs less to maintain the status quo than to force a reunification. Ditto from China's perspective, they will pay a steep price for reunification as well.
The situation is in good hands without the US meddling. If the S. Koreans and the Chinese aren't freaking out, that means its under control.
