South Koreans increasingly are coming to believe that North Korea will not be in the family of nations for long –&nbsp;that sooner or later (perhaps even in this decade), the North will collapse and its malnourished people will become future citizens of a reunified Republic of Korea. For this reason, the issues facing South Korean public opinion as it decides whether to help with food assistance are not easy; indeed, they could be quite wrenching.
越来越多的韩国人开始认为朝鲜这个国家即将崩溃——或迟或早（或者就在这十年内），朝鲜将灭亡而那些营养不良的人们将成为一个统一大韩民国的公民。因此韩国民意对于是否进行食品援助犹豫不决；事实上这个决定也是相当痛苦的。
