Its propaganda. It doesn’t need a practical application. I mean they might be able to cross the border maybe. Even then it’s iffy.

Well, no one thought that Hamas could fly into Israel as well.
There is slight possibility of neutralizing opposing air force with barrage of ballistic missiles and guided rockets targeting air bases.
Nuke all South Korean airbases
Meanwhile, occured to me.
With all laughs and so on - if M2020s are really in service - if we do an assessment (by formal attributes), it may very well be one of the most advanced tanks in the world.
Joke we may, but neither South Korea, nor China, nor Japan has active tanks with APS - and Russia only barely so(not fully operational anyway). Nothing is immediately wrong with it in other aspects as well. 115mm gun isn't a crime (especially with the possible length of its dart, which is longer than for classic Ru/CN 125mm guns), and while an integrated commander's sight instead of a panoramic one is a crude solution - it is by no means wrong.
152mm ATGM will probably brutpen most things that can be encountered as well - even without top attack(which NK can do); again, just two exposed rockets it may be - but it is likely stronger than autoloader-limited 125mm GLATGMs of Russian and Chinese tanks.

Don't china have functioning APS on ZTQ15?
Soviet Naval Infantry had APS on its T-55s since 1981. Israelis on the Merkava since 2010.
It is notable that North Korea has managed to develop APS and possibly put it into service, but IMO it takes more to make a tank "advanced". Not saying the M2020 isn't, but there is very little information about anything regarding this tank.

They trailed it. But never implemented it. None of the combat Russian tanks have a hard kill APS. Some have soft kill systems but these are dated.
Maybe. Maybe not. Dummy systems are not unheard of. The DPRK OICW for example. North Korean tanks armed like Warhammer vehicles with missiles as another.
This is accurate.
The Red Army trialed it but never implemented it. The Soviet Naval Infantry introduced it on 250 T-55ADs.
