East Asia

"East Asia is one of the places where World War III began. I can't believe if I go there, my people would be in fear if North Korea would take over other countries in East Asia, including my country, South Korea, even my village as well."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Prologue

Northeast Asia or East Asia is the eastern subregion of the Asian continent, which can be defined in either geographical or pan-ethno-cultural terms.
