For decades that's been the problem. South Korea's population centers are too close to the North for an attack to be a reasonable risk: even decades-old artillery and unguided rockets can hit Seoul, launched from hundreds of dug-in sites. So things have been organized around trying to pressure North Korea in various ways, either via China, or directly, but without force being a seriously considered option.
- plaguuuuuu 14y agoYep. This is what happens when you expand too close to the enemy's base..
- rtpg 14y agoI think this is more due to the fact that Seoul just happened to be next to the arbitrary 55th parallel drawn after WWII.

There were attempts to move capital city to central part of S Korea later but they've been a bit busy (assassination of president, industrialization, democratization, PSY, etc).
