  It would change it a lot, but maybe not enough. As it stands now the combination of civilian population density and quantity of North Korea artillery means that millions of people would die in even a single hour of shelling. However, even if all of Seoul was evacuated it wouldn't necessarily make things so much better as North Korea has missiles with enough range even to hit Japan or the US, and potentially nuclear weapons to go with them. Potentially one could imagine banking on anti-missile systems to nullify that threat but that's a pretty big gamble.
