is an article posted on the Blue House National Petition Bulletin in the afternoon of yesterday (27th).
The act of marking Dokdo as Japanese land is a declaration of war that internationally exposed Dokdo's ambitions using the Olympics. If the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee and the IOC do not take steps to delete Dokdo, they must not participate in the Olympics.
In one day, more than 14,000 people agreed.
Influential politicians have also criticized them through social media.
Former Democratic Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon said that Japan's disregard for our government's demand for correction was "unacceptable," and said, "We have to respond firmly with Olympic boycotts," and former Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also said that SBS's'Japanese government cannot be accepted' After the report, he said, "If you refuse to delete it, you must do everything the government can do, including not attending the Olympics."
There are also voices saying that a more effective and cool response is needed in relation to this movement.
