If the ROK went it alone on occupying the North after reunification it would have a much lower media profile, making it a lot easier to get the job done, if they were facing guerilla resistance.
That's if there was any continued resistance -- communism seems much more effective at producing fanatically devoted insurgents among those whose experience with it is mostly fantasy rather than those who spend time living under communist regimes. Probably because the reality sucks so hard and because, unlike religion, communism is exclusively grounded in the here and now.
