How do South Korean citizens feel about Pyongyang's participation in the games?
A recent survey shows the majority welcome the move.
Our Lee Jeong-yeon took to the streets to hear directly from the people for their views
on the matter.
North Korea officially confirmed in Tuesday's first talks... that it will attend the upcoming
2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
And to this, most South Koreans have responded favorably.
(Korean) "I very much agree.
We need to stop thinking of them as enemies, but as allies.
Divided families should also be reunited.
So I hope this can be a stepping stone to unification."
(Korean) "I'm very much in favor.
We will have a stronger international presence if South-North relations improve, so we need
to continue these conversations."
(Korean) "I think it's a very good thing.
It's the way it should be.
Pressure can't solve the problems at hand.
We need to take it step by step, starting with the Olympics."
(Korean) It's good we can take this opportunity to
talk to North Korea.
I hope we can get along better in the future and solve other problems like the nuclear
issue.
According to a survey conducted this year on around 500 South Korean citizens, almost
8 in 10 were in favor of the regime taking part in the Games to improve inter-Korean
relations.
One thing worth noting is that those in favor outnumbered those against... across all age
groups, genders, political orientations and geographical regions... with the exception
of those who support the Liberty Korea Party.
(Stand-up) The overall favorable sentiment among South
Korean citizens toward North Korea's participation at PyeongChang 2018 seems to be based on a
common wish for improved inter-Korean relations that could one day bring lasting peace to
this divided country.
