South Korean government “Public opinion poll regarding treated water, questions should be objective”

On the 1st, the South Korean government pointed out that regarding public opinion polls regarding the release of radioactively treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, ``It would be better to make the survey questions more objective to accurately grasp the will of the people.''
I picked it up. Park Ku-young, first deputy director of the South Korean State Affairs Coordination Office, said at a press conference regarding treated water held at the government building in Seoul on the same day that ``the majority of the people are against the release of treated water.''
In response to a question about opinions on the results of public opinion polls by civic groups and others, I answered as before. Deputy Minister Park said, ``I understand that the people are worried, but I think it is important to accurately recognize the facts and make decisions based on that.''
We need to look objectively and rigorously at what to do about it." On the previous day (31st), Prime Minister Han Duk-soo also attended the National Assembly's Budget and Settlement Committee and conducted an opinion poll on treated water.
``In all studies, there is a claim that there is no harm to health if the contaminated water released from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is treated under scientific standards and released, but what do you think?'' but
No,” he pointed out. He went on to say, ``All the polls ask, ``Do you agree with releasing contaminated water?'' but if you ask me a question like this, even I would say, ``Do you agree with releasing contaminated water?''
If you release it, you'll think it's a violation of international law." Deputy Minister Park referred to Prime Minister Han's remark, saying, ``Either way, it will be thrown into the sea, so the people will not be able to carry out their basic needs.''
It is natural for people to be concerned about this, and I do not deny that.'' However, he added, ``The results will vary depending on how the poll questions and explanations are prepared, and how the question is asked afterward, ``What do you think?''
I think there is a possibility that there will be a variety of cases."
