To have tanks and to fight with them are two very different things.
A couple of pointers; Soviet Russias actual military capability was consistently overestimated throughout it's existance. Especially it's actual ability to field all those tanks and aircraft, let alone a significant force of mobile anti-air platforms, artillery or anything.
The situation in NK is propably much worse than it was in Soviet Russian before it's end. The majority of their military at that point was not really in fighting condition due to various shortages.
It's very unlikely that a country that has run out pretty much every natural resource would have the fuel reserves and spare parts to effectively maintain it's army for longer than days or weeks at best, especially since the US attack would propably take out large parts of it's fuel reserves right from the start with missile strikes.
It's also likely that a country out of which a significant part of it's population would like to get out of would suffer from massive moral problems and defections. The simple shock of their daily routines breaking would propably be enough to shake a large part of that population. It's also very likely a highly inefficient country and incapable of reacting to outside events.
The population would be extremely susceptable to foreign propaganda due to the simple fact that they either have very little skills to see through propaganda, or if they do, know their own side is totally lying all the time too.
Their military also almost completely lacks actual combat experience.
There is only one real problem with fighting the NK; Seoul is within artillery distance of North Korean border. The massive North Korean artillery propably works, because all it needs is ammunition and what qualifies as semi-skilled labour for the most part. (Seoul is a really big target after all.)
Taking out massive amounts of artillery is not fast nor easy, and Seoul is one of the biggest and most densily populated cities in the world. There's a risk they could use any kind of weaponry imaginable to destroy it. (Gas, bio, napalm, nuclear if they actually have them...)
It's quite realistic that NK could turn a modern city of 10 million into an uninhabitable wasteland within the first day of war. (Some estimates say it would take about two hours.) In comparison to that, the discussion of military casualties becomes rather irrelevant.
