I think N. Korea is slightly less worrying, just because no one has attacked yet so it's just another cold war - lots of speculation, but no action.
I agree though - the media hype for this kind of stuff is stupid, but when actual bombs are being dropped on the regular, it becomes worrying.
And tbh, it feels like we're already in WW3, I mean.. 4 years ago Russia literally invaded Crimea - it was in the news for a week before people forgot about it!
