South Koreans stay calm despite North's escalating threats

Despite North Korea's recent threats and weapon tests targeting South Korea, there's a sense of calm in Seoul, with many residents feeling indifferent rather than scared. Growing up witnessing North Korea's nuclear provocations as a tactic to maintain regime stability has desensitized South Koreans, viewing these actions more as routine displays for internal unity or external assistance. In contrast, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's recent statements abandoning peaceful reconciliation and reiterating threats against the South highlight a significant escalation in tension.
