Many of these'guns have been dug into mountains and fortified over the last 50 years.
If they can each fire, say 2 rounds a minute, and it takes the US and South Korean military one hour to neutralise them ( which would be a big ask ), then they could send 2 * 60 * 8000 = 960,000 shells into a packed city.
That would have a significant impact on Seoul property prices.Comment

Or if you want to google, the device you're after is a NNEMP (Non-Nuclear EMP)
The range of NNEMP weapons is much less than nuclear EMP. Nearly all NNEMP devices used as weapons require chemical explosives as their initial energy source, producing only 10−6 (one millionth) the energy of nuclear explosives of similar weight. The electromagnetic pulse from NNEMP weapons must come from within the weapon, while nuclear weapons generate EMP as a secondary effect. These facts limit the range of NNEMP weapons, but allow finer target discrimination. The effect of small e-bombs has proven to be sufficient for certain terrorist or military operations. Examples of such operations include the destruction of electronic control systems critical to the operation of many ground vehicles and aircraft.

NK have been amassing weapons for the past 40 years, a crazy sized stockpile.
Firing a missle over Japan is asking for trouble. Trump's US would have sat that one out."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Knowing our luck, the only trade deal we'll get will be with Japan and then NK will nuke it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
