I've often heard that they could overrun the South and the few Americans stationed there fairly quickly if they really wanted too. I don't know if that's true. But as others have pointed out, saber rattling is par for the course for a Stalinist regime.
Here are the sizes of North vs. South military:
S. Korea 11th most powerful military
N. Korea 25th most powerful military
So the North probably couldn't overrun the South very easily unless China/Russia are involved.
