It might trigger nuclear first strike protocols on the US side.
I doubt it. The U.S. didn’t initiate a first strike against North Korea when it threatened us with nuclear weapons, and unlike with Russia, the U.S. almost certainly could eliminate all North Korean nuclear weapons without any significant U.S. losses.
North Korea didn’t threaten in a way that the US military considered to be highly probable to start a war. It’s more seen as posturing. It would need a plausible thread to achieve military objectives.
North Korea can complete destroy most of Seoul. It’s in artillery range.
