Korea is exactly what it's been for the past seventy years, a useful distraction for Russia/USSR and a buffer zone between China and US influence. That's all it will ever be unless it makes radical changes.
Again, foreign policy not being my bag it is difficult for me to get into the weeds on this. What I do know is that in the geopolitical arena there are a lot of intangibles and small things that can make big differences in the long run. What you're talking about are big changes that would occur, but that's not where the real change happens. Those small things and the intangibles work in the background and eventually lead to larger things. They were discussing a US diplomatic presence in Pyongyang. Would that not be a rather large thing? That doesn't happen without lots of smaller things changing in the background.
