Haeryun Kang: On N. Korea in the Guardian

“In South Korea we’re scared but we’ve normalised the fear,” published on the Guardian on Aug. 9, 2017.

When North Korea news gets hot, like now, thanks to its recent missile test and Guam, many outlets report on how the South Koreans seem unfazed and uninterested. This is certainly a valid observation, but is there more to their “indifference”?

Managing editor Haeryun Kang wrote for the Guardian on the more complex, and contradictory, context behind the indifference.
