Forget the political struggles and possible threat of nuclear war with North Korea, iPod nanos in South Korea are exploding! Apple of Korea announced today that they will be recalling all first-generation iPod nanos in South Korea. After a number of customers reported overheating batteries and/or explosions, the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards asked Apple to issue a recall.

Apple issued a statement that said, "Although the overheating problem doesn't affect the batteries that are being used now in iPod nanos, concerned customers can get a replacement battery."
