According to Yonhap News, the intelligence officials said it looks like North Korea has restored a door and roof at the launch site, called Sohae.
North Korea has used the area for satellite launches and missile engine testing.
But the ballistic missiles Pyongyang claims could strike the U.S. were tested elsewhere.
Last year, North Korea promised to dismantle Sohae after President Trump and leader Kim held the first summit.
But backing up the South Korean intelligence service's testimony, U.S. think tanks say satellite imagery suggests there has been rapid efforts to rebuild the launch pad and rocket engine test stand.

But ultimately, he believes Seoul should call the shots.
He told the cadets it's up to South Korea to decide the fate of the Peninsula based on the strength of its military.
