North Korea fascinates many people. For South Koreans, its threat is just part of life

ABC  

It is a somewhat standard Thursday lunch at Oh Young Seok's restaurant near the border of South Korea and North Korea. It appeared to be North Korea "expressing extreme hostility toward the leaflet campaigns and to highlight the adversarial stance against South Korea". "We feel the threat from North Korea has increased over the past several months and especially after the summit with president Putin," Professor Kang said. But one young woman said she could not "ignore the fact tensions were rising" after a North Korean balloon landed near her house. Her friend said she was sent government text message alerts about the balloons and she believed "it somehow may have affected the South Korean sentiment towards North Korea in a negative way".
