Japan began releasing radioactive water from its damaged Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean on August 24. The decision has immediately sparked worldwide attention and widespread opposition.
In response to the controversial move, CGTN visited the streets of Seoul to gauge public sentiment among South Koreans. Among those interviewed was Kim Jung-bin, a local resident, who voiced strong disapproval of Japan's actions.
Kim Jung-bin stated, \"The Japanese government has handled this situation irresponsibly. Releasing radioactive water into the ocean not only endangers marine life but also poses significant risks to human health and the environment.\" His comments reflect growing concerns across the region regarding the potential long-term impacts of the water release.
The international community continues to watch Japan's handling of the Fukushima aftermath closely, as discussions around environmental safety and cross-border implications remain at the forefront of global discourse.
