South of that valley is another river were ROK/US troops could make a stand and inflict severe casualties. To accomplish that you are betting that the DPRK's engineers can make and hold 3 river crossings which I see as very unlikely in the event of US/ROK air superiority.
The area where the Imjin river enters the yellow sea north of Inchon would be a great assault point, since troops landing there have flat ground leading right in to Inchon and southern Seoul. Maybe even use the Han river to their advantage and ferry troops and supplies down it using that huge force of coastal and river fishing boats they have.

I'm not saying they could accomplish anything, I'm saying it's about the most logical way I can see they could actually get anywhere with an attack in the west of the country.
Sure, it might be easier to attack in the terrain north of Seoul and Incheon (Though still not very easy), but such attacks will be facing much deeper opposition. The main point is that even if any attack focusing on the area directly north of Seoul achieves short-term success, it will be impossible to follow up on it without directly assaulting the urban areas around Seoul, which would be very nasty for the attacking forces.
EDIT: Also, I wasn't saying that North Korean troops would follow the arrows exactly as they are.
