They do, but they see SK as a state propped up by the US.
The second Korean War was actually an attempt by the North Korean's to get South Korea on board with reunification back in the 1960's. Basically the NK's infiltrated SK and tried to persuade SK's of the benefits of the North. Problem was, at this time, roughly ten years after the original Korean War ended, the South was far more prosperous than the North. Regardless of how SK's felt about the Park government, they had no interest in a communist government.
They also attempted to create a wedge between the US and SK, but the actions of the NKs instead drove the two nations closer together creating the long-standing friendship we have today.
