Most of the hardened artillary sites are loaded, cocked and ready to go. Plus and I'm no artillary man but a good crew can probably launch 3 or 4 volley's a minute.
So lets say that the NK's see any sign of an impending attack, its more then likely that they can get off at least 2 minutes of concentrated fire.
If your talking about 10,000 artillary pieces firing 4 times a minute times 2 minutes your talking 80,000 shells, and we're talking big ones here 170 mm and up, combine that with MLRS that can ripple fire off a dozen 240 mm fin stabilized rockets that are the equivalent of dropping a phone booth sized high explosive on your house, and Seoul would cease to exist from explosions, fire and fragmentation injuries in about 2 minutes.
Even if NK lost the war, there would be some satisfaction that the industrial and civic hub of your main enemy is now a moonscape.
