This is a huge deal, the headline alone. South Korea and the US are what I'd call "core" allies (historically, up until now...).

I can see why they want to destroy government institutions and the economy (deregulate, privatize, take control, profit). But what does us having zero allies accomplish?

It is because Russia is allied with North Korea.

Doing this helps out Russia. That's the entire point of this move.
