North Korean missile test has some Korean-Canadians worried, some unfazed
TORONTO — North Korea’s latest missile test has sparked mixed emotions among Canada’s Korean community, with some expressing alarm at what they deem an escalation of the country’s military efforts while others remain unfazed.
Lisa Pak, who lives in west Toronto, said this week’s test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile — North Korea’s first — has left her on edge.
“They may be tremors before an explosion,” said Pak, who is helping lead an effort to free a Mississauga, Ont. pastor detained in North Korea.
“At one point, it might not just be threats.”
