Travel Insurance re Korean Trip

Berberis

Looking for advice re insurance for our upcoming holiday to South Korea next month.
Have non refundable flights booked since earlier in the year, but have free cancelation for the hotel we have booked.
We still have to arrange holiday insurance and usually we just get an annual family multi trip package as in the past the further we have travelled has been Spain.
This time however with the obvious threat of war breaking out in Korea, I would imagine we would need a more comprehensive insurance. For example are acts of war included in most policies. Any advice greatly appreciated. Mods if this is in the wrong forum, please move

Having lived in South Korea for some time and being friendly with a lot of Koreans I can safely say that there is no threat and extensive cover isn't needed.

The us embassy there has even send out a circular telling people there is no new to worry.

If you're anxious sign up with the irish embassy there, they are on the ball with informing people what's happening.

The whole thing isn't even making the news in korea as much as it is here.

Enjoy korea it's a great place

Thanks for the reply, To be honest we are not worried at all at the moment, (Our daughter currently lives there for the past year, and she has been reasuring us that everything is as normal there).
But I suppose it would be remiss of us not to get the right travel insurance just in case something does happen while there. I suppose the main thing would be about having to cut the holiday short if there were any major incidents

Most insurance companies exclude war in their terms and conditions.
