In South Korea, ordinary citizens take the situation calmly.
the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un sister Kim Yo-jong announced on Tuesday that the country will not accept the Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida to propose a summit meeting. North Korea is not interested in negotiations anyway.
Instead of an agreement, Kim Jong-un supervised a tank exercise on Monday and encouraged the troops to increase their readiness for war. In the last few months, Kim has appeared frequently in rehearsals, last week he supervised the missile test.
Visiting Asian correspondent in Seoul Mika Hentunen told the South Koreans about the rise in tension.
– When I was younger, I worried about every missile test. I was really worried. Over time I got used to it. I still worry, but not about every event anymore, said Jinsu Kim.
Hyokyang Kang had not yet been born when North Korea was already considered dangerous. That’s not why either Seoyeon Son not worried about all the threats.
– This situation was already on before I was born. That’s why I feel quite safe. I don’t feel threatened, said Hyokyang Kang.
