日불매운동 확산…국민 10명 중 8명 '일본제품 구매 꺼려진다'

A recent survey shows that nearly 80 percent of Koreans are reluctant to buy Japanese products and services,... as tensions rise between the two neighboring countries.
That's according to a poll by Gallup Korea conducted Tuesday through Thursday on more than a thousand Korean adults.
Only 15 percent of respondents said they were not reluctant with the other five percent declining to answer.
Half of the respondents, meanwhile, thought the Korean government was doing a good job handling the trade row.
More than a third said it wasn't.
In a separate poll by Realmeter,... more than 60 percent of Korean adults surveyed said they were boycotting Japanese goods - a steady rise over the past two weeks.
