From what I've heard, it has less to do with just the size of the DPRK military, and more to do with the geography of South Korea. For better or worse, the Seoul metro area contains half of South Korea's entire population and is within artillery range of the border. Any attempt at an invasion would almost certainly be met with an immediate barrage of Seoul. Whatever the ultimate outcome of such an act, no one is willing to make that sacrifice.

Troops need to be continuously trained, or they forget how to operate the machines. Sure, North Korea might have tons of weapons, but do they have the ability to maintain them?
