After coming back from Korea, disregarding the North Korea bombing and all, I have answered a lot of questions regarding the safety of travelling to South Korea. The bombing happened a couple of days before we were supposed to fly to Korea.
And after coming back unharmed, yes, it was safe to travel to South Korea when we were there. We never encountered any real danger. We just avoided the demilitarized zone but other than that, it was all good. The bombing occurred somewhere near the border between North and South Korea and quite far from Seoul.
I think media tends to exaggerate events that are sometimes isolated, take the case of the hostage taking of the Chinese nationals in Manila.
Here's to hoping that local media will properly investigate before they report anything. People need to hear the real details.
