People in South Korea are starkly divided on whether Seoul should provide COVID-19 vaccines to North Korea, a poll showed on Thursday.

According to the new poll, 51% of respondents opposed the provision of aid, while 45% expressed support. Around 3% remained unsure or didn’t respond.

The survey of 1,006 South Koreans, conducted by multiple pollsters between June 21 and 23, came weeks after South Korean President Moon Jae-in openly voiced interest in providing vaccine aid to North Korea if Pyongyang “agrees” to it. 

Overall, conservative-leaning respondents tended to be more opposed to providing COVID-19 vaccine aid
