I have quite a comprehensive plan for the future

I want to finish my history undergraduate degree with a decent grade. I then want to do a masters in Korean Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. After this, my hope is that I will be able to get the scholarship that the South Korean government offers to international students which would allow me to move to Seoul for four years to complete a PhD. I then want to spend the rest of my life working in academia, ideally at a university in Korea. If not then my next hope would be Japan or Singapore. Literally my entire life for the past six years has revolved around Asia and I love the region so much, if my plan succeeds then I'll have everything I've ever wanted.

But, if Trump starts a war with North Korea and Kim Jong Un responds by nuking Seoul then basically my entire future is over lmao.

BIB, I've been a jinx lately so don't take my word 100% as gospel, but I think that Trump and Kim Jong Un are all talk, I honestly think that you have nothing to fear from there if you get your dream move to Seoul.

A very clear plan - from my experience such determination and hard work pays off and I wish you all the best, although I get the feeling you won't need it.

The Trump/Korea issue has come at a particularly bad time for you but hopefully that will be resolved without interruption to your admirable goals.
