Frankly, no.
I'm concerned about drivers- drunk or normal, mopeds, kids on bikes, falling construction equipment, building collapses, insulting the bartender at the mob-run bar and getting beat up, food poisoning, and more.
But I am not concerned with North Korea.

US media always over hypes these things. I remember the "bad relations" a few months ago all over American news. Didn't even make local news here.
I'm more concerned about the fact that I may not be able to procure a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, which I have promised to have in order to feed my 10 guests.
Once you learn that there wont be another war (at least until something dramatic happens to the relationship of the 6 nations) it becomes easier to shrug these kinds of things off.
Chris Hill was the top American negotiator for several years in the 6 party talks. He said once, that after a long day of negotiations and a few too many drinks, one of the NoKo negotiators let it slip. He said "We know America has hundreds of the newest technology nukes pointed at us every second of every day. We have, maybe 5. The technology that built them, decades old. What good are 5 old nuclear weapons against America's arsenal if not negotiating chips."
And he's right. They build a bomb, we give them a years worth of food to destroy it. They build two, we give them a years worth of oil. They build 5, we loosen trade restrictions so they can sell their poorly made products to Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Africa.
All this is just a way for them to put as many things on the table that the West has to pay to take off. The shelling and that brand new nuclear plant... really big negotiating chips.
