"President Yoon Seol-yeol has no reason to agree with Japan's release of treated water,'' said Lee Jae-myung.
Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party for Korea, criticized the Japanese government's release of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant on the 20th, saying, "There is no reason for the South Korean president and government to agree."

Representative Lee Jae-myung attended a rally held in front of the press center in Seoul's Jung-gu that afternoon for the National Day of Action to Prevent the Dumping of Japan's Radioactive Water into the Sea.

Lee Jae-myung said, "It's not right to make nonsense that it's 'treated water' instead of 'contaminated water,' that sampling isn't necessary, or that it's safe to drink (contaminated water)." and "It's abandoning the responsibility of the president and government to protect the lives and safety of the United States."

At the same time, the Japanese government itself believes that it is useless and dangerous even if experts say that it is okay to drink 10 liters of water every day instead of 1 liter. Aren't we dumping water into the sea?"

Representative Lee Jae-myung said, "The Japanese government is short on money, so if neighboring countries suffer damage, if the world’s oceans are polluted, everything will be solved if we throw away (polluted water), but the president and government of the Republic of Korea There is no reason for them to go along with it."
