A diverse group of 57 civic organizations, including the Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice and the Korea Federation for Environmental Movements, demonstrated in the fountains in front of the Blue House on Mar. 12 to demand explicit labeling of genetically modified organism (GMO) products. “Since the time that President Moon took office one year ago, each Korean citizen has eating 43 kg of imported food without knowing whether it was a GMO product,” said a spokesman for the group. The demonstrators also voiced criticism of the president saying, “Even though the president campaigned with a promise [to address this issue] he hasn’t shown any plan or effort, and has just been silent.” (by Kim Seong-gwang, staff photographer)
