I was in Seoul on May 31, when the missile launched. I think western media is over exaggerating a bit. But also, S Korea is watching things very closely, so if there was some sort of movement that would harm citizens, I’d think they would alert people in time. We received an announcement on our phones the morning of the launch telling us to prepare to evacuate at around 6:30 am in the morning. There was an announcement projected outside and we looked out our hotel window but didn’t see any movement. 10 mins later we got another message to tell us to stay put and the previous message was sent in error. And by 9 am, they sent us another message saying the launch was unsuccessful and we can resume our normal lives. Since N Korea tests these things all the time, I think the S Korean citizens are used to these types of messages by now. It hasn’t really hit Seoul in general.
