More than seven out of 10 South Koreans are concerned that police or other government agencies may secretly monitor their online activities, an international survey showed Tuesday.
The survey of 23,376 Internet users in 24 countries showed that 29 percent of about 1,000 South Korean respondents said that they are "very concerned" about such a possibility while 43 percent said they are "somewhat concerned."
   The survey was conducted by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), a Canada-based think tank, and Ipsos Global Survey between Oct. 7 and Nov. 12, according to the survey's results published on CIGI's website.
