Rteacher; I live in the US and am trying to get some perspective from those that live in Korea. I lived in Korea from 1995 to 2008 , but am always willing to listen to those in country.

The subheading of the article/weekly column that I linked to is "All you need to know about everything that matters", so I just introduced it as "All you need to know about how to handle NK threats...?" (with a question mark at the end).

Btw, I'm not currently in Korea - I'm mainly posting articles from US news sources to help expats get the latest updates on how this latest threat develops.
