The Democratic Party of Korea called elementary school children to a meeting related to contaminated water from nuclear power plants in Japan, named them ‘activists’ and made them criticize President Yoon Seok-yeol and Japan. The term ‘activist’ refers to a member of a civic group. The event was broadcast live on YouTube.
On the 8th, the Democratic Party held an event titled ‘Meeting with Children, Youth and Caregivers to Prevent Marine Dumping of Contaminated Water from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan’ at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul.
The event was attended by many children accompanied by their parents. Some child participants hid their faces in the arms of their mothers as if embarrassed when their names were called during the introduction of attendees before the start of the meeting. The Democratic Party called them ‘activists’, and they were introduced as such on the YouTube relay screen.
Hanna Kim, a 2nd grade elementary school student who spoke on behalf of ‘children’s activists’ on this day, said, “Don’t ask children what they know,” and said, “I am an activist and I can express my opinion.”
Kim said, “Last week, I went to a church retreat. I rode the waves at the beach with my friends. It was so much fun,” he said. “At that time, I thought of the Fukushima sea. Is it a safe and happy sea? I saw the Fukushima nuclear power plant in a video. It was so dangerous that people couldn’t enter and the robot filmed it. But dumping the dangerous water from it into the sea? I was very surprised,” he said.
“What I hate the most is that the president of our country agreed to dump nuclear-contaminated water into the sea,” he said. There are many people who oppose the dumping of contaminated water like us. Let’s all join forces.”
“Lastly, let’s stop dangerous nuclear power generation in our country right away,” she said. Because my five-year-old brother living in Wolseong, Gyeongju was also exposed to radiation. I am so upset.”

Children who were called to the event drew pictures expressing their opposition to the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
In front of them, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung said, “Guaranteeing a sustainable earth and the right of future generations to live in a safe and pleasant environment is our most important responsibility in living in the present generation.” It is clear that this is a problem. It seems that the time has come to devise and block countermeasures with all-out unity on the issue of discharging nuclear contaminated water, which is urgent right now and will obviously harm future generations in the long run.”
People’s Power senior deputy spokesman Hwang Gyu-hwan said in a commentary on the day, “Is CEO Lee Jae-myeong only using children as a tool for agitation while on vacation?”
The caretaker of Hannah Kim, who spoke on the day, told Chosun.com, “As an activist, Hannah Kim has been involved in various activities, such as working on the Coal Escape Act and speaking out in the No Kids Zone.” I can express my opinion on things related to relationships.”
Meanwhile, last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concluded in its final report on plans to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant that it was “consistent with safety standards.” In response, the Democratic Party protested, calling it a tin can report. The power of the people said, “Even international organizations are treated as ‘quack’ for agitation, so I have no choice but to ask which country’s political party it is.”
