Park Ji-won "Newborns Should Eat Agricultural and Marine Products Contaminated with Nuclear Wastewater for 30 Years"

Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won expressed concern over the Japanese government's plan to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean starting on the 24th, saying, "Newborns will have to live eating agricultural and marine products grown while consuming nuclear-contaminated water until they turn 30."

On the 23rd, Park criticized the government's response on his social media, stating, "Our government says it is scientifically safe but takes a stance of not supporting the discharge? Only ghosts would understand such nonsense."

He said, "Our President of the Republic of Korea has never opposed it. He has sold history, national pride, and contaminated water to Japan," and questioned, "Will he sell our territory to the United States? The East Sea as the Sea of Japan?"

He added, "If the South Korean, U.S., and Japanese armed forces train in the Sea of Japan, would President Yoon Seok-yeol be the President of South Korea or the Prime Minister of Japan?" and said, "We cannot pass on contaminated water, distorted Korea-Japan history, and the Sea of Japan to our descendants. Public resistance is necessary."
