Seoul is currently training special forces units to infiltrate Pyongyang and hunt down the dictator and his closest advisers.
If war breaks out specialist troops have been given orders to assassinate the despot.
And the military has also been ordered to upgrade its air defences, as well as improve its ability to carry out airborne and sea landings.
The plan comes after despotic leader Kim Jong-un was photographed smiling manically during the launch of North Korea’s latest missile test amid fears South Korea could be the next target.
With tensions escalating the proposals to improve Seoul’s military capabilities are part of South Korea’s revised strategy of dealing with the possibility of an attack from North Korea.
Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, was briefed by Defence Ministry officials on Monday about the new proposals – a day before North Korea launched a ballistic missile over Japan.
And he ordered his team to implement the reforms to the military immediately, in order to meet the threat being posed by the enemy state.
He added the military must be ready to “quickly switch to an offensive posture in case North Korea stages a provocation that crosses the line or attacks the capital region”, according to the Chosun Ilbo newspaper.
The reforms come following Tuesday morning’s missile launch over Japan, with North Korean state TV having now released footage of the moment the weapon was fired.
The footage claimed firing the missile was “the first step” of Pyongyang’s military operations in the region and repeated threats against the US territory of Guam, which it branded “an advanced base of invasion”.
Rotund tyrannt Kim was pictured lounging in a chair as he watched the missile launch several hundred yards away. His outdoor viewing area was adorned with a desk, map and binoculars.
Other photographs show the leader looking upwards with military officials watching data on two computer screens behind him.
The launch has heightened tensions between the US and North Korea, with Kim threatening mainland America could be in his reach as he continues to build his nuclear arsenal.
After visiting Texas yesterday as the US is battered by Storm Harvey, US President Donald Trump has turned his attention to foriegn relations once again.
In a veiled threat he suggested diplomacy is no longer the way to deal with the North Korea threat.
Writing on Twitter, Mr Trump said: “The US has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer!”
