Yes, it is a good idea for South Korea to offer help to North Korea, because it is imperative that, one day, they fix their broken bond, before an all-out war ensues.

If both North and South Korea don't make attempts to fix their broken bond, then, one day, it will only result in another war. While things are not as bad between the two countries, there should be attempts at making peace and even friendship between the two rivals. Otherwise, it is evident and clear what will happen again.

North Korea is an ongoing threat to South Korea, and this will not change with South Korea helping them.

North Korea is a dictatorship, run by a very hard-line leader. They have a long history of accepting aid, but then continuing to be belligerent and hostile to South Korea. There is nothing for South Korea to gain by helping their northern neighbors. They will only be strengthening an entrenched enemy.

South Korea should not help North Korea, because any help will only benefit the North's maniacal leaders and their military.

Normally, a country should always help its neighbors out of good will and to secure good relations. In the case of North Korea, however, it is controlled by a small group of tyrants who hate South Korea and use whatever resources available only to benefit themselves, and not the people. Giving North Korea help would only help the corrupt North Korean leaders, not the people.
