So you don't understand that South Korea, that is not part of NATO, can say they don't like something and at the same time, NATO, which does not include South Korea, can say that Russia can't use something similar as an excuse to start a bloody war? Yeah, I can tell you're very confused. Maybe world politics is just to complicated of a topic for you?

South Korea did not say "we don't like it". They said "we will take actions if they do it". They were vague on what those actions would be. Given they're a USA vassal state and nuclear-armed submarines were already deployed to SK for a show of force, you're being deliberately obtuse and naive. South Korea is rattling their sabre.
