Fewer than 40% of South Koreans see Korean unification as necessary
Original: Less than 40 pct of S. Koreans say unification with N. Korea necessary: poll
A new poll finds that fewer than 40 percent of South Koreans consider unification with North Korea necessary, underscoring declining public support for the long-standing national goal. Attitudes toward the divided peninsula's future have shifted amid ongoing tensions, generational change and deepening public skepticism about the costs and benefits of merging with the North.
Why now: Falling public support for a policy goal once treated as a national consensus is a striking signal of shifting attitudes on the Korean peninsula.
