North Korea won't have the technical capability for more than an atomic ICBM, for at least another 10 years. If anybody looks at the photos of retrieved missile sections, they are still using rivets, and not even flush rivets. They could have the capability for an IBM with an atomic warhead, unable to reach the mainland US but able to reach Hawaii. It's still a stretch. The US is equipping South Korea with land-based THAAD (Theater High Altitude Area Defense). North Korea doesn't have the material capability to manufacture hundreds of IBM's. The ABM treaty is not a law, and really only applies between Russia and the US. The systems coming on-line are rapid response interceptors. The subject is topical to Hawaii because the US Navy has no other choice but invest more towards west Hawaii. Most of it will be off-shore activity. It's a surprise to see Osprey ops planned, from Barking Sands off-shore vessels to landings on north Niihau. It is desolate but that will be something new.
