Yes, but there is a ceasefire. In my opinion, North Korea is just provoking South Korea by having nuclear weapons. This could force South Korea to stop the ceasefire and attack North Korea.

Technically the war is such on hold as there was never a peace treaty signed just a armistice. The rest of the UN forces went home and a DMZ was established and everyone lost interest so they never moved on to a peace treaty.
One of the major problems that exist between the world and North Korea is that for the rest of the world the war is over. N.Korean governments have put their populations through hell partly by telling them that the USA was still at war with them and was about to attack them at any moment. This is why they "have" to have the bomb, a huge standing army and an intricate defence superstructure while the people starve to death. They really believe that they are under the threat of attack.

The Korean War, conducted from June 25, 1950 to a cease-fire on July 27, 1953 was a war between North Korea and South Korea (technically, the Koreas remain at war). When conflicts began, North and South Korea existed as provisional governments competing for control over the Korean Peninsula after the Division of Korea. The principal combatants were North Korea, later alongside the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of the People's Republic of China, with support by Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; and South Korea, alongside the United States (U.S.), Britain (UK), Canada and the Philippines, with many other nations sending troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).
In South Korea, it is often called "6·25" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hangul Jeonjaeng (íêµì ì). In North Korea it is formally called the "Fatherland Liberation War." In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war. The war is sometimes referred to in the West as "The Forgotten War," primarily because it is a major conflict in the 20th century that is rarely referred to in everyday life.

Well technically the war is not officially over. What happened was more of a ceasefire arrangement, not a full blown treaty.

Our involvement in the Korean War, was to choose sides in a civil war. The country is still split in half, just not fighting.

It's more of a cold war than an actual war.

Technically they remain at war, but more of just a "cease fire" agreement
