In regard to the N.Korean missile test, those feeling “very or somewhat concerned” were only 51.3% and 13.8%, respectively, illustrating that over half of the people consider it a serious event. <\/p>\n

Those that believed the government should strongly respond to the N.Korean missile tests by declaring the suspension of additional rice and fertilizer aids accounts for 61.2%.
