I thought briefly about Switzerland, and France, even Japan for a moment, but I feel they might be a bit close to nuke targets.....
France, we'll they're a nuclear armed country and even though they've withdrawn from NATO, they're right in the middle of things with a number of nuclear targets.
Switzerland, well they're even closer to the action and although they're about the most neutral country in the universe, fallout isn't very discriminating. There's also the chance of neighbouring countries "taking a shortcut" so to speak.
Japan I ruled out because they've got US forces based there, and I'm sure air operations over Korea would originate there (as they did in the 50's). Therefore there's a good chance Japan could get nuked also (not to mention the fallout from China drifting across).

The southern hemisphere is probably the best place to go with nuclear war threatening. Almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere feels a bit too risky for my liking...
