The thing is, North Korea has an army. Iraq didn't. Sure they did on paper, but none of those people actually fought. They just took off their uniforms and went home when the US military moved in. There was almost no resistance at all. On top of that, Iraq had horrible equipment and most of it was damaged or destroyed already in 1991. The sanctions prevented them from rearming, so Iraq's military was still how it was when Gulf War 1 was ended. Korea has been rearming since the Korean war was ceasefired (technically war not over), and it's military will fight, not just go home and wait for it all to be over. Plus from what has been said about NK's artillery, they can flatten Soeul in under 30 minutes, and that city has millions of people. Unless the USAF can destroy 11 000 artillery peaces in under 30 minutes, the kill count will reach a million on day 1 of the war.
