In a number of scenarios there is no 'afterwards' to think about.
A pre-emptive attack on NK is likely to lead to a nuclear response from them and a response from China. As soon as China get involved Article 5 kicks in, and Russia are likely to join in with China.
If I became aware of Seoul being evacuated I would be considering my life choices closely.
I'm not convinced Japan will remain non-nuclear either. They have the technology to have fully functional weapons of at least intermediate range in months. The only reason they haven't done so as yet is the US's nuclear umbrella, and that seems to be weakening.
