A non Kim regime reforming to be like Vietnam wouldn't be too hard. NK never wanted to conquer anybody but SK, but they do see other countries as racially subhuman and don't recognize Israel.To be fair North Korea is extremely ethno-nationalist but it doesn't seem to be expansionary. While domestic policy and the official ideology/propaganda in North Korea is more similar to fascism than the eastern bloc, the North's propaganda has never advocated empire-building or the conquest/settlement of non-Korean territory the way Germany and Japan did.
Would a North Korean regime that had conquered the peninsula (let's say more direct Soviet involvement means the Busan pocket is closed and the war is basically over in a year) feel it had enough security/space to reform?
In theory, the North would see its conquests as complete once the Koreas reunify. The Korean peninsula is kind of like Asia's Belgium, expansionism isn't really an option with so many great power neighbors.
