Hi everyone

I am planning to move to South Korea to teach English this year but since hearing everything in the media about North Korea's threats I have been rethinking my decision.

Is there anyone currently living in South Korea that knows more about the situation in North Korea and if it's something I need to worry about?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

I live in a town called Okpo wich is located on Geoje island, there are a lot of Expats here and safety is not a problem. The north are just war mongers and have been for years i dont think you will have any safety concerns. The people are friendly enough crime is minimal but do try and learn the language.
