I picked an awesome time to travel to Seoul

I'm actually not traveling to Korea until January but two days after I booked my ticket, tensions between North and South Korea have escalated.

I asked a three Korean students what were their sentiments about these recent events and here's what they had to say:
Student 1: "It's scary"
Student 2: "I don't want to go home!"
Student 3: "That's fucked up shit"
Yep those are my smart and respectful students.
According to my Chinese Foreign Politics professor, June Dryer, China's stance on the Koreas is the keep the status quo. Two separate countries are viewed as much less of a threat to China's economic and political influence than a united Korea (either communist, such as China, or not).
