For better or worse, I've said it before, apparently these joint military exercises and having troops there is what gets NK so teed off. The Norks like Pres. Jimmy Carter because he talked about withdrawing troops from SK but the congress nixed the idea back in the day.
Rep. Peter King backs U.S.-South Korea military drills despite North Korea warning

Rep. Peter King said the United States is right to go ahead with military exercises with South Korea, despite North Korea’s warning of a strike ahead of the drills.

The tension comes after North Korea recently backed down from earlier threats to launch a nuclear missile at Guam following President Trump’s comments that the United States would respond to any such attack with “fire and fury.”
