The most common specific contents were “Is there something bad for my child? My child may have said something bad at school.” (90.4%), “It may be harder for Japanese to live in South Korea.” (39.6%), and “These worsening relations between Japan and South Korea would cause concern for Japanese parents and relatives” (36.5%).
