South Korean President Moon Jae-in has paid a surprise visit to Pohang, which was hit by a M5.4 earthquake last week.
He starting off by visiting a local high school and then met a group of high-school seniors who took the earthquake-delayed college entrance exam on Thursday.
President Moon also visited one of the local gymnasiums where thousands of people displaced from their homes have been staying since last week.
Meanwhile, the United States is planning to deploy six F22 Raptor fighter jets to South Korea next month to take part of a joint military drill. This comes just a day after the US government redesignated North Korea on the list of states supporting terrorism.
According to Seoul's defense ministry officials, these jets will take part in a SoKor-US air force exercise in December. They will fly to the Korean Peninsula from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan and may also be joined by up to four F-35A fighter jets.
It would mark the first time the US has deployed six Raptors to Korea at once and is sure to put pressure on North Korea.
