You underestimate how complacent and willing to conform people in Northeast Asian cultures are. It's been drilled into them for centuries, up until recently the Chinese were put to death by their government for not wearing their hair in a certain way. It's a stereotype that Russians and Slavs/Eastern Europeans in general will be very complacent when faced with shit living conditions and oppression, and even they managed to help overthrow a Marxist-Leninist illiberal government with the help of Western subversion. If the people in North Korea aren't doing anything to get rid of Kim how much will the South Koreans do? South Korea is already a totalitarian nightmare, all pornography is banned, the court system is completely broken and they still have conscription, but absolutely nobody cares about any of this or lifts a finger to do anything about it. It's like the Chinese failing to strike over Jack Ma's work hours, their history is one of being given harsh consequences for questioning and acting out against dodgy rulers or poor quality of life imposed upon them by said rulers. This coincides with a shame as opposed to guilt-based culture in which everything is so devoid of respect for the individual that feeling bad about wrongdoings has to be made communal instead of having one person accept what they did wrong (which we teach small children to do in the west, it isn't hard to grasp). A few thousand Koreans from the south will protest, tanks will be rolled on top of them and nothing else will be heard from the Hermit Kingdom for the forseeable future. Their only hope for getting out of that situation will be generous amounts of foreign subversion.

The North would likely lose due to the sheer industrial and manpower capabilities of the south, even if the Government officially surrenders.
A similar scenario happened when the Soviet Union invaded Eastern Europe and Afghanistan. Early on, the people of these nations rose up in revolution against their oppressors, only to be crushed by Soviet manpower. However, in this scenario, the situation is reversed. A much smaller nation is occupying a much larger one.
It simply wouldn't last.
Also, America. America wouldn't stand by as NK invades its allies. Although they initially stood by in the sidelines, they would intervene

Firstly they wouldn't have that first world standard anymore so I don't know why people are bringing that up.
Secondly that statement doesn't really mix well with reality. Using what you said as fact then China would still have a monarchy, South Korea and Taiwan(ROC) would still dictatorships, and the Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians would still be ruled by the French.

There was a joke in I think Red Dwarf that society is only three meals away from revolution. While not 100% true your assumption that a society the has a high standard of living won't revolt when that standard of living drastically drops from the highest level on earth to the lowest is incredibly absurd.The only thing going for them will be their military draft, but I doubt they can surpass the ferocity of the North Koreans. I don't think that any first-world country will be/is morally capable of sustaining high losses during conflict, even if they have the good reasons to fight in one and the armaments necessary.
I'm working under what is given in the OP, the North Korean State as is won and conquered the south.
If the North Koreans invaded South Korea right now they have an estimated week, week and a half to win the war, then be invaded by Japan and the United States. There are hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces on both sides of the DMZ would destroy hundreds of square kilometres of land and thousands of people. After that first week and a half North Korea would find themselves low on ammunition, guns, tanks, food, and other supplies needed to wage war. China and Russia won't be helping them because no matter how they feel about America, the reality is Japan, the USA, and South Korea are far more valuable trading partners then a drug trafficking dictatorship.

When you eat with East Asian families here they stress to not waste any food. They stress being frugal. They don't act like Westerners do when it comes to reacting to living standards. I don't even think first world living standards make or break East Asian complacency with everything, these people could be back in the rice fields eating nothing but rice and carp again and they would still be exactly as complacent as before. Their living standards surely would contribute to it, but even if South Koreans were very quickly submurged into NK-level blackouts and food shortages they still wouldn't do a thing about it. There's this weird culture of behaving as much like human ants as possible.
