How many gun barrels and missile launchers aimed at Seoul?
Might need something bigger than Israel is using.
And definitely need to install it secretly so the Norks don’t feel pressured into some sort of suicidal preemptive assault.
Maybe even need to offer to build one for Pyongyang?
The problem is that there are roo many leftists in the south, and too little flexibility around peace in the north.
I would, of course, welcome them proving me wrong on that.

S. Korea had the opportunity to buy the Iron Dome about nine years ago when the T-50 was in the running for a contract to supply advanced trainers to the Israeli Air and Space Force.
If my memory is correct, the Israelis asked the Koreans to specify in a document what Israeli weapons(up to USD 1 billion worth) that they will procure if they accepted the T-50. Among the weapons mentioned was the Iron Dome.
Korea naturally rejected the offer, and Israel eventually selected the Italian M-346 and the Italians in return bought two G550 Airborne Early Warning aircraft.
After the North Koreans starting showing off multiple rocket launchers capable of firing rockets with ranges up to 380km, there is now renewed interest in an Iron Dome type system. However it is a Korean develop version of the Iron Dome that is being discussed instead of buying Iron Domes off the shelf from Israel.
The Korean version of the Iron Dome is scheduled for deployment during the late 2020s and early 2030s time frame.
