Sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly-- by "easily" I meant that they didn't have any pressing use for those forces on their own islands. I can't remember reading of any invasion there. {Probably lots of NK/Soviet commando hits, though.}

And that means why would so many divisions be committed to Korea when they are so badly needed elsewhere? Food for thought...
Indeed. If anything, the ROKs could be sending divisions to the Chinese.
