It is in fact a myth that NK has "thousands of artillery pieces that could flatten Seoul". They infact have only one type that even theoretically could hit Seoul from behind the border in a "prememtive strike"
The real threat are the ballistic missiles.

Again? Didn't they "tear up the armistice" a few years ago?

They said they were "no longer obligated" after the second nuke test, and would resist attacks.

Not to diminish the role of China in this but you're bypassing the actual issue

Seoul isn't the only urban location, refering to it simply saves time

Well, but one would assume that after an initial salvo the South Koreans would counterstrike.

Tactical question: Better by daylight to aid evacuation, or night to avoid detection?

Daylight, hands down I think

No, I meant daylight to aid evacuation or night to prevent detecting an attack.

Night favors us tactically, but it wouldn't keep the attack secret

Evidently not, but then, this war never truly ended; it was just postponed to a later date.
