For years, Woo Seung-yep was a lone voice in the wilderness, warning fellow South Koreans to prepare for impending doom. But as tensions with North Korea rapidly escalate, he is no longer mocked.
Mr Woo, 44, has become the face of the South’s war preppers, a growing band of urban-disaster specialists who keep survival bags laden with essentials that they can grab at a moment’s notice to one of the country’s many nuclear fallout shelters.
In recent months he has seen a surge in interest in his online forum, Survival 21, founded in 2010 to discuss how to stay alive during war, disaster or nuclear holocaust.
