People in South Korea (or anywhere in East Asia) owning guns?

"No, South Korea does not allow citizens to own guns, and gun ownership is heavily restricted. In North Korea, civilian ownership of firearms is also banned, with strict regulations in place for any firearms possession."

Still, I guess it's possible to break into storage and grab them in a societal collapse, as well as already being trained for use.

Similar to Singapore, the majority of South Korean men are well-trained in the use of firearms, due to mandatory military service. Guns are also notably absent in South Korean society outside of the military, and gun ownership and gun-related deaths rank among the lowest in the world.

South Korea has strict gun policies. Hunting and sporting licenses are issued, but any firearm used in these circumstances must be stored at a local police station. Air rifles also have to be stored at police stations; crossbows and electric shock devices are also classified as firearms but their private retention is permitted.

Tasers are prohibited, and possessing a toy gun without an orange tip is strictly prohibited. Violation of firearms laws can result in a US$18,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.

EXCERPT: "An unhinged sci-fi epic that boasts awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects, Na Hong-jin's Hope gets the adrenaline pumping whenever it focuses on the unraveling of its hapless human heroes."
