Assume the coup fails. How does South Korea purge its military of coup participants without significantly reducing its readiness for conflict with a resurgent north Korea?

Soldiers guarding the National Assembly seemed to do a terrible job securing the building and it may have been intentional. A reporter on the scene reported that soldiers were scared when an Assemblyman yelled at them.
