The US has a selection of bunker-busting and ground-penetrating bombs and we can be pretty sure US satellites have pinpointed the locations of the ICBM launch sites.
Like I said earlier, they're Kim's "teeth", so he'd have no bite if they were taken out, no need for a fullscale ground war..
Their ICBMS are not a factor yet, you idiot. When they become one, those will be road mobile and fired from cross country transport erector launcher vehicles. Satellites have no ability to maintain realtime coverage and only arrive overhead once every 24 hours, moron. During the first gulf war the US devoted half of our air power to scud hunting and still saddam managed to lunch several dozen scuds from his road mobile launchers.
They've got bombs they don't need sites, just caves or crawl spaces to hide in. Their commandos have penetrated deep into South Korea multiple times. They will have decent chance of smuggling a nuke to near a critical installation around or south of the DMZ, you moron.
