North and South Korea still fight each other but the scale is low level.

Such as when North Korea sunk a South Korean Ship back in 2010 for example.

North Korea also has nuclear weapons which makes retaliation an incredible risk.

sounds like that is disputed. And yeah them having nukes, and South Korea's allies having nukes makes the war restarting there not as likely. But the korean war in the 50s was not part of a world war anyway, that was a proxy war. Where both sides allies, USA and China/Russia, had nukes. But saying that war is still going on is like saying the USA civil war is still going on because some people didn't like the outcome.
